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

5 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';…

  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

  • 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 Mobility is a large enterprise in the transportation and technology sectors, operating primarily in South Korea. Its business model revolves around providing diverse mobility services through a digital platform, including ride-hailing, navigation, and autonomous vehicle technologies. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including dedicated partner platforms and community engagement initiatives. Revenue streams likely include service fees, business partnerships, and technology licensing. The company targets a broad audience including individual users, drivers, and business clients. Growth indicators include active news updates and continuous service innovation. The website's professional design and comprehensive content support its market positioning as a trusted mobility leader.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data. However, explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options are not visibly configured, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is publicly available, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. Privacy policies are well documented and indicate GDPR compliance, but the absence of a cookie consent mechanism may pose compliance risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by adopting additional best practices and publishing security contact information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Introduce a cookie consent banner to comply fully with privacy regulations and enhance user transparency.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly monitor domain registration status and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and accessible.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Next.js and React, which supports server-side rendering and efficient client-side interactivity. It uses CSS-in-JS for styling and integrates Google Analytics for user behavior tracking. Multimedia content such as videos is embedded using HTML5 standards, enhancing user engagement. The site is well optimized for mobile devices and demonstrates fast loading times. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless architecture. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Overall, the technical implementation is robust, scalable, and aligned with current web development best practices.
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.
