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

Kadans is a European company specializing in creating tailored laboratory and office spaces within over 30 science clusters across Europe, supporting more than 400 clients primarily in key research sectors such as healthcare and technology. The company positions itself as a leading science partner, providing specialized real estate solutions to research institutions and companies. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with a focus on its business offerings and market presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern frameworks like Bootstrap and integrates several analytics and marketing tools such as Hotjar, Google Tag Manager, and Visual Website Optimizer, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks visible security headers and explicit security or incident response policies. The WHOIS data is incomplete, showing no registration details, which raises some concerns about domain legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy in content and design but would benefit from enhanced transparency in privacy, security policies, and domain registration information.

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. 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';…

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

Kadans operates in the niche market of science cluster real estate, targeting research institutions and companies in life sciences and technology sectors. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive presence across multiple European science clusters and a large client base. The business model focuses on providing customized lab and office spaces, supporting innovation ecosystems. The company likely generates revenue through leasing and property management services. The website's multilingual support and use of advanced marketing tools suggest a strategic approach to market expansion and client engagement. However, the absence of detailed company registration and contact information on the website limits full business transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism in place, reflecting compliance with basic privacy regulations. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs are present, which are important for mature security governance. The use of multiple third-party scripts and analytics tools necessitates regular security audits to mitigate risks. The incomplete WHOIS data and lack of registrant information also pose a potential risk factor in trust and domain legitimacy.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to enhance transparency and compliance.
  2. Add security headers to improve protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts to build trust and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize security risks.
  5. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is complete and accurate to improve legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. It integrates Google Fonts and FontAwesome for UI elements and uses advanced marketing and analytics tools such as Hotjar, Visual Website Optimizer, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for consent management. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is modern and supports a professional user experience, though there is room for improvement in security configurations and performance optimization.
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.
