0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Kroll is a leading independent provider of financial and risk advisory solutions, serving a broad range of corporate clients, financial institutions, legal professionals, and government agencies. The company leverages unique insights, data, and technology to address complex demands in financial advisory, risk management, cyber risk, and compliance. Their market position is strong as a trusted enterprise-level consultancy with a global presence. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, with integration of Google Tag Manager and OneTrust for consent management. The site demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. The use of structured data and comprehensive metadata supports SEO and content discoverability. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, implements multiple security headers, and uses consent management tools to comply with privacy regulations. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contact, and vulnerability disclosure reduces transparency. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the website presents a professional, trustworthy, and compliant digital presence for Kroll. The main risk factor is the lack of WHOIS data, which slightly impacts domain trustworthiness but is mitigated by strong brand signals and content quality. Strategic recommendations include publishing security policies and incident response information to enhance trust and compliance visibility.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Kroll operates in the finance and risk advisory sector, targeting enterprise clients globally. Their business model centers on professional consulting services, leveraging data and technology to provide financial, cyber, and compliance risk solutions. The company benefits from a strong brand reputation and a comprehensive service portfolio. Their partnership ecosystem includes social media and digital marketing tools, enhancing client engagement. Growth indicators include active content updates and global contact points. The absence of detailed financial data or subsidiaries in the public domain limits deeper revenue insights.

Security posture

Kroll's website security posture is solid, with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. The use of OneTrust for cookie consent indicates GDPR compliance efforts. No exposed credentials or vulnerable libraries were found. However, the lack of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file limits external reporting channels. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and communication channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy page accessible from the website footer.
  2. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing data retention policies and detailed privacy compliance documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Next.js and React, ensuring server-side rendering and good performance. Integration with Google Tag Manager and OneTrust reflects advanced marketing and privacy management capabilities. The site loads multiple external resources such as Google Fonts and jQuery 3.7.1, which are current and widely supported. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS approach. Hosting provider details were not discernible from the data. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
