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

Klaro.org is the official website for Klaro!, a GDPR-compliant cookie consent management tool developed by KIProtect GmbH, a German technology company founded in 2021. The company offers an open source solution under the BSD-3 license, enabling website owners to manage visitor privacy and data protection effectively. Klaro also provides a hosted service with advanced features and support, positioning itself as a trusted player in the privacy compliance market with hundreds of organizations as users. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including React, Bootstrap, and jQuery, ensuring a responsive, fast, and accessible user experience across devices. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and professional design, supporting multiple languages and optimized for performance. Analytics are handled via plausible.io, a privacy-focused service, reflecting the company’s commitment to privacy. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration, though DNSSEC is not enabled and some security headers are missing. The site implements a robust consent mechanism for cookies and third-party services, aligning with GDPR requirements. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies suggests areas for improvement. Overall, Klaro.org demonstrates a strong privacy and security posture suitable for its business model and target audience. The domain registration details are consistent with the company’s identity, enhancing trustworthiness. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and publishing formal security policies to further strengthen compliance and trust.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  2. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

Klaro operates in the technology sector, focusing on privacy compliance and consent management solutions. Its open source business model allows broad adoption and customization, while the hosted service generates revenue through subscriptions and support. The company targets website operators needing GDPR compliance, leveraging its reputation and community support. The partnership ecosystem includes its own domain and related services under kiprotect.com. Growth indicators include active development, multilingual support, and a growing user base. The company maintains a consistent brand and professional online presence, supporting its competitive positioning in the privacy tools market.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a privacy-first approach in analytics and consent management. No critical security issues were found, and the site avoids exposing sensitive information. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents moderate gaps. The absence of published incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies limits transparency in security operations. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from formalizing policies and enhancing domain security features to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure guidelines to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Consider adding explicit contact channels for security incidents (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Continue to monitor and update third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks including React and Bootstrap, ensuring responsive and accessible design. It uses a lightweight 50kB JavaScript file for Klaro.js, optimizing load times and performance. Analytics are implemented via plausible.io, a privacy-respecting service. The site lacks a traditional CMS, indicating a custom or static site approach. Hosting details are not explicit but domain registration is managed by Key-Systems GmbH. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags and SEO considerations. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and DNS configuration to reduce technical risks.
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.
