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. 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

  2. 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

Kaspersky holds a strong market position as a large, established cybersecurity provider with a diversified product portfolio. Its business model centers on software sales and subscription services, catering to both home users and business clients. The company benefits from a global partnership ecosystem and maintains a transparent approach to privacy and security. The website's extensive regional versions and language options indicate a global reach. Customer reviews and industry awards reinforce its competitive advantage. The company’s operations are supported by a modern technical infrastructure and a focus on user experience and compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are in place, reflecting compliance with GDPR. However, the absence of a publicly visible incident response contact or security.txt file suggests room for improvement in vulnerability disclosure transparency. The site’s use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools is balanced with privacy considerations. Overall, the security posture is strong and appropriate for the business context.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Regularly update and audit third-party scripts to minimize security risks.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention policies for analytics and tracking.
  5. Continue to monitor and improve accessibility features to maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework, ensuring fast loading times and excellent mobile responsiveness. Integration with advanced A/B testing (Kameleoon) and analytics (Yandex Metrika, Google Tag Manager) indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. The site uses optimized images and fonts, contributing to performance. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless architecture. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML. The technical implementation supports a high-quality user experience with good SEO and accessibility 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.
