72/100

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

Kakao Games Corp. is a leading South Korean gaming company specializing in mobile and PC game development, publishing, and global expansion. The company positions itself as a major player in the gaming industry with a focus on connecting daily life with gaming experiences. Their website reflects a professional corporate presence with structured navigation and multilingual support, targeting gamers and industry stakeholders globally. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Swiper, and Slick Carousel, hosted on AWS infrastructure, providing moderate performance and basic mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, and does not provide visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. Privacy compliance is partial with a comprehensive privacy policy linked externally but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, with room for improvement in security and privacy practices.

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. 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 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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.
  • 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

Kakao Games operates primarily in the technology sector focusing on gaming products and services. Their business model includes game development, publishing, advertising, and partnership proposals. The company targets gamers and partners in Korea and globally, leveraging popular IPs and platform expertise. Their market position is strong in Korea with ambitions for global growth. The website's family sites and partner links indicate a broad ecosystem including Daum Game. The company is large, founded in 2019, and maintains consistent branding and professional content. Revenue streams likely include game sales, advertising, and partnerships. No direct financial data was found on the homepage, but IR sections exist. The company maintains a clear corporate identity and contact channels, supporting business credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses clientTransferProhibited status on the domain, indicating basic domain security. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers were detected in the provided data, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were identified. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism and limited privacy compliance indicators suggest gaps in regulatory adherence. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern but somewhat dated JavaScript stack including jQuery 3.1.1, Swiper.js, and Slick Carousel for UI components. Hosting is on AWS infrastructure as indicated by the DNS nameservers. The site has moderate performance and basic mobile optimization, with some accessibility features such as skip links and screen reader text. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. There is some technical debt indicated by older jQuery version and lack of advanced security headers. The site could benefit from modernization efforts including improved mobile responsiveness, accessibility enhancements, and performance optimizations.
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.
