株式会社カカオピッコマ operates a professional corporate website primarily in Japanese, presenting itself as a digital content provider specializing in electronic manga and novel services under the brand 'ピッコマ'. The site targets Japanese manga readers and potential employees, offering company information, service details, news updates, and recruitment information. The business model centers on digital content distribution and talent acquisition, positioning itself as a significant player in Japan's electronic manga market.
Technically, the website is built on WordPress and employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI elements. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for user tracking and marketing analytics. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes SEO best practices such as meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in accessibility features.
From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate but lacks visible security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No forms or input fields are present on the main page, reducing immediate attack surface. The site holds ISMS certification, indicating a commitment to information security management. However, the absence of cookie consent mechanisms and vulnerability disclosure policies suggests partial privacy compliance.
Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy in appearance but is undermined by the lack of WHOIS registration data, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy. The site would benefit from enhanced security headers, explicit contact information, and improved privacy compliance to strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

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
6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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.

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.

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

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
株式会社カカオピッコマ is positioned as a medium-sized technology company specializing in digital manga and novel distribution in Japan. Its competitive advantage lies in the popular 'ピッコマ' platform, which offers free-to-read manga and novels with a large user base. The company leverages digital content and app-based delivery to reach a broad audience. Revenue streams likely include advertising, premium content sales, and partnerships. The recruitment section indicates ongoing growth and talent acquisition efforts. The company maintains a professional online presence with ISMS certification, signaling operational maturity and security awareness. However, the lack of publicly available WHOIS data and contact details may impact stakeholder confidence. The company appears to focus on domestic market leadership with potential for expansion.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and ISMS certification indicating formal security management. However, the absence of security headers and vulnerability disclosure policies are gaps that could expose the site to common web attacks. No forms or user input fields on the main page reduce immediate risk. Privacy compliance is partial, lacking cookie consent mechanisms and explicit GDPR indicators. Incident response contact information is not provided, limiting transparency. Overall, the security posture is adequate but requires enhancements in headers, privacy compliance, and incident response readiness to meet higher standards.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
Deploy a cookie consent banner and update privacy policies to explicitly address GDPR and other privacy regulations.
Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to improve transparency and encourage responsible reporting.
Add clear contact information for security incidents and general inquiries to enhance trust and responsiveness.
Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities proactively.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses WordPress CMS with standard JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Carousel for interactive elements. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for analytics and marketing purposes. The site is mobile responsive and includes SEO-friendly meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in accessibility and loading speed. No advanced frameworks or hosting provider details were identified. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modern security practices and enhanced accessibility compliance.
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.
