NIS2 Art. 21(2)

  1. (a) Risk analysis and security policies: Not visible from outside
  2. (b) Incident handling: One indicator
  3. (c) Business continuity, backups and crisis management: Not visible from outside
  4. (d) Supply chain security: Not visible from outside
  5. (e) Secure acquisition, development and maintenance, including vulnerability handling: Partly checked
  6. (f) Assessing the effectiveness of security measures: Not visible from outside
  7. (g) Cyber hygiene and security training: Not visible from outside
  8. (h) Cryptography and encryption: Partly checked
  9. (i) HR security, access control and asset management: One indicator
  10. (j) Multi-factor authentication and secured communications: Not visible from outside

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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

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.
  • Email security: did not complete in this scan.
  • DNS health: 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.

Business context

Business profile

카카오페이증권은 카카오페이의 자회사로서 디지털 금융 시장에서 개인 투자자 대상 증권 중개 서비스를 제공합니다. 주요 경쟁력은 카카오톡과 카카오페이 앱과의 연동을 통한 편리한 계좌 개설과 투자 서비스 제공에 있으며, 소액 투자자 및 초보 투자자에게 적합한 다양한 금융상품을 제공합니다. 수익 모델은 주식 거래 수수료, 펀드 판매 수수료, 예탁금 이자 등으로 추정됩니다. 고객층은 모바일 중심의 젊은 세대 및 디지털 금융 친화적 사용자로 구성되어 있습니다. 채용 사이트 운영 등으로 인력 확충에 적극적이며, 준법감시인 심사필 인증을 통해 규제 준수에 노력하고 있습니다. 파트너십은 카카오페이 및 관련 금융 인프라와 긴밀하며, 향후 해외 주식 및 펀드 시장 확대에 따른 성장 가능성이 높습니다.

Security posture

웹사이트는 HTTPS를 기본으로 적용하여 통신 보안을 확보하고 있으며, 도메인 상태가 clientTransferProhibited로 설정되어 도메인 탈취 위험을 낮추고 있습니다. 그러나 DNSSEC 미적용과 보안 관련 HTTP 헤더 부재는 보안 강화 여지가 있습니다. 개인정보처리방침은 명확히 제공되나, 쿠키 정책 및 GDPR 완전 준수에 대한 명확한 안내가 부족합니다. 사이트 내에 보안 정책, 사고 대응 절차, 취약점 신고 채널 등 보안 거버넌스 관련 정보가 부재하여 보안 문화 및 사고 대응 준비 상태는 낮게 평가됩니다. Google Analytics 및 Tag Manager 사용으로 사용자 추적이 이루어지나, 쿠키 동의 배너가 없어 개인정보 보호 측면에서 개선이 필요합니다.

Recommendations

  1. DNSSEC 활성화를 통해 도메인 네임 시스템 보안 강화
  2. Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options 등 보안 헤더 추가 적용
  3. 쿠키 정책 및 사용자 동의 메커니즘 도입으로 개인정보 보호 강화
  4. 웹사이트 내 보안 정책 및 사고 대응 절차 공개로 신뢰성 제고
  5. 취약점 신고 채널(예: security@ 도메인) 개설 및 안내

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.
