50/100

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

Kpler is a medium-sized, Belgium-based data and analytics company specializing in commodity and energy markets. It provides proprietary data, market analysis, forecasts, and maritime tracking services to a professional B2B audience including traders, analysts, and logistics managers. The company has strengthened its market position through acquisitions such as JBC Energy and ClipperData, consolidating its leadership in commodity data analytics. Technically, the website is built on Webflow CMS, hosted via Cloudflare, and employs modern JavaScript libraries and marketing tools. However, the site suffers from a critical security issue due to an invalid SSL certificate and lack of TLS protocol support, which significantly impacts its security posture. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is professional and content-rich but requires urgent remediation of its SSL/TLS configuration to ensure secure user interactions.

Scanned

3 of 7 checks could not complete. The site may be unreachable or blocking automated scans, so the results below cover only what could be checked. Try a rescan later.

NIS2 and GDPR posture

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

1 finding 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Kpler operates in the energy and transportation sectors, offering data-driven insights and analytics to commodity market professionals. Its business model focuses on SaaS and data services, targeting physical and financial traders, charterers, and fleet managers. The company demonstrates growth through acquisitions and a diversified product portfolio including commodities, energy transition, and maritime analytics. The presence of detailed policies, social media engagement, and professional content indicates a mature business with a strong market presence. However, the lack of visible certifications and incident response information suggests areas for improvement in trust and security transparency.

Security posture

The website implements some security best practices such as security headers (X-Frame-Options, CSP, HSTS) and secure cookie flags. Nonetheless, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent critical vulnerabilities that expose users to potential risks. The lack of OCSP stapling and session resumption further degrade security and performance. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are provided, limiting transparency and readiness for security incidents. Overall, the security maturity is low and requires immediate attention to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and correctly configure a valid SSL certificate to enable HTTPS and TLS 1.2+ protocols.
  2. Enable OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and provide incident response contact information.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and document data retention policies for privacy compliance.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Webflow CMS, jQuery, GSAP animations, Select2 for enhanced selects, and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot, Segment, Microsoft Clarity, and Google Tag Manager. Hosting is via Cloudflare CDN with AWS Lambda functions indicated by headers. Performance metrics are missing or zero, suggesting incomplete data or slow loading. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO meta tags and structured navigation. However, the invalid SSL and lack of TLS support are major technical risks. The site could benefit from performance optimization and enhanced accessibility compliance.
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.
