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

Kakao Mobility Corp. is a leading South Korean technology company specializing in smart mobility services. Their website showcases a comprehensive portfolio of mobility solutions including taxi services, business mobility, navigation, autonomous driving, and robotics. The company targets both passengers and drivers, emphasizing safety and innovation in transportation. The site is professionally designed with rich multimedia content and clear navigation, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, hosted on Kakao's CDN infrastructure, and employs Google Analytics for user behavior tracking. The site performs well with fast loading times and good mobile optimization. However, explicit cookie consent mechanisms are absent, and some security headers are not visibly configured. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. Privacy policies and terms of service are comprehensive and accessible, indicating good compliance posture. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data and lack of visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies reduce overall trustworthiness. No forms or direct contact emails are present on the main page, limiting direct user engagement channels. Overall, the website presents a strong business and technical profile with minor gaps in security transparency and privacy consent mechanisms. Strategic improvements in these areas would enhance trust and compliance.

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 holds a strong market position in South Korea's transportation and technology sectors, offering a diverse range of mobility services under the Kakao T brand. Their business model integrates technology-driven solutions for passenger transport, driver support, and autonomous vehicle development. The company leverages partnerships and community engagement, as evidenced by linked partner sites and social media channels. Growth indicators include recent news on educational programs and international project expansions. The company operates at a large scale with a professional online presence, targeting urban commuters, drivers, and business clients. Their ecosystem includes platforms for partners and community initiatives, supporting sustainable and safe mobility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and no visible exposure of sensitive information. Privacy and safety policies are well documented, supporting regulatory compliance. However, the lack of explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and absence of a published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy represent gaps in security transparency and readiness. No contact channels for security incidents are provided, which could hinder timely response to threats. The use of Google Analytics indicates moderate user tracking, balanced by comprehensive privacy policies. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced transparency and proactive disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  3. Introduce a visible cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information, including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Next.js and React, ensuring a responsive and performant user experience. Hosting on Kakao's CDN infrastructure supports fast content delivery and scalability. Multimedia content such as videos is used effectively to engage users. SEO and accessibility features are well implemented, with proper meta tags and responsive design. However, the absence of a CMS or explicit content management system is noted, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Technical risks are minimal, but the lack of some security headers and cookie consent mechanisms represent areas for modernization and compliance enhancement.
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.
