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 holds a strong market position as a major telecommunications provider in the Netherlands, focusing on integrated reporting and sustainability. The dedicated domain for the 2024 annual report indicates a strategic approach to investor relations and corporate transparency. The company targets investors, customers, and stakeholders interested in detailed financial and sustainability data. The business model is service-oriented with key revenue streams from telecommunications and IT services. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms for outreach but no explicit partner domains were identified. Growth indicators include comprehensive reporting and digital engagement. The website's structured content and downloadable reports reflect a mature digital presence aligned with corporate governance standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form submissions protected by CSRF tokens. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS represents areas for improvement. The lack of explicit incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies limits transparency in security incident handling. Privacy compliance is partially met with privacy and cookie policies present but no active consent mechanism. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and improving transparency around incident response.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Add an explicit cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  4. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact information to improve security transparency.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and enhance user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including ES modules and Vite for efficient bundling and loading. Hosting on AWS DNS infrastructure supports scalability and reliability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured content. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is fast with asynchronous script loading and minimal blocking resources. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and well-maintained.
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.
