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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  2. 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

    • 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

  3. 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 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

K2MATCH targets startups, scaleups, investors, SMEs, corporates, and experts, positioning itself as a curated international ecosystem for entrepreneurial growth. The business model centers on matchmaking and providing growth services, including dealflow events and educational masterclasses. The company leverages partnerships such as Dealum for dealflow management and maintains a LinkedIn presence. The platform's reach is global with investors from Europe, US, and Asia. The company is based in Cyprus and appears to be a small-sized entity with a focused niche in technology and startup ecosystems.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with HSTS, indicating a good baseline for transport security. However, the absence of key security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy and cookie policies are not present, which is a compliance gap. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are also missing, limiting transparency. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to enhance header implementation and publish privacy and incident response policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Provide clear terms of service and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS registration details to ensure domain registration transparency and trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet compliance standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, utilizing its CMS and hosting infrastructure. It uses modern web technologies including JavaScript, Typekit fonts, Google Fonts, and Font Awesome icons. The site loads with moderate performance and is mobile optimized. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. No broken elements or errors were detected. The technical stack is standard for a professional business website but could benefit from additional security and privacy enhancements.
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.
