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

Koninklijke KPN N.V. is a leading telecommunications company based in the Netherlands, operating at an enterprise scale. The website hosts the 2024 integrated annual report and related sustainability and financial documents, targeting investors and stakeholders interested in corporate transparency and performance. The company provides telecommunications, network operations, and IT services, positioning itself as a major player in the Dutch telecom market. The website is professionally designed with excellent content quality, clear navigation, and mobile optimization, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript modules and is hosted on AWS infrastructure, ensuring fast performance and good SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and secure forms, though DNSSEC is not enabled and security headers are not evident, indicating room for improvement. Privacy compliance is good with clear privacy and cookie policies linked from the main domain, though no explicit consent mechanism is detected on this site. Overall, the domain registration data is consistent with the company except for an anomalous future creation date, likely a data error. The site is free from blocking or WAF challenges and contains no adult or questionable content, making it safe for general audiences.

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. 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

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

KPN operates in the telecommunications sector with a strong market position in the Netherlands. The business model focuses on providing integrated telecom services and transparent corporate reporting to investors and stakeholders. The website supports this by offering downloadable annual reports, sustainability statements, and financial disclosures. The presence of multiple language versions (Dutch and English) indicates an international stakeholder focus. The company leverages social media channels for brand presence and engagement. The use of AWS DNS and modern web technologies suggests a commitment to reliable and scalable infrastructure. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are published on this site, directing users to official contact pages, which is typical for large enterprises. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file suggests an opportunity to enhance security transparency. Overall, KPN demonstrates a mature and professional digital footprint aligned with its enterprise status.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure forms with CSRF tokens, indicating good baseline security practices. However, the lack of DNSSEC implementation and absence of common security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site does not provide a public vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which could improve incident response readiness and transparency. No direct incident response contact emails (e.g., security@ or abuse@) were found. The domain WHOIS data shows an unusual future creation date, which is likely a data anomaly but should be monitored. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing DNSSEC, security headers, and a formal vulnerability disclosure process.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and improve security transparency.
  4. Add a cookie consent mechanism on the website to comply with privacy regulations and enhance user trust.
  5. Regularly audit WHOIS data for accuracy and consistency to avoid anomalies that may raise trust concerns.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern JavaScript ES modules and is built with Vite, a modern build tool, indicating up-to-date front-end development practices. Hosting is on AWS infrastructure, as evidenced by the DNS servers, providing scalability and reliability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and adaptive layouts, ensuring good user experience across devices. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Performance is fast with asynchronous script loading and optimized images. Accessibility is good with semantic HTML and alt attributes on images. The main technical risk is the lack of DNSSEC and security headers, which could be addressed to improve overall security posture.
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.
