Risk levelMedium

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

Kaspersky is a globally recognized cybersecurity company founded in 1997, offering a wide range of security solutions for both home users and businesses. The company holds a strong market position supported by numerous industry awards and a comprehensive portfolio including antivirus, internet security, VPN, password management, and parental control products. The website targets consumers and enterprises seeking reliable cybersecurity protection. Technically, the site is built on modern frameworks such as React and Next.js, with good performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility features. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities, complemented by privacy compliance through cookie consent and privacy policies. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the Canadian domain introduces a minor trust concern, though the overall brand legitimacy remains high.

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

2 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

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 operates an enterprise-sized business model focused on direct sales and partnerships. It leverages a global partner ecosystem and maintains a strong brand presence with extensive marketing and customer engagement. The company’s revenue streams likely include software licenses, subscriptions, and enterprise security services. The target customer segments range from individual consumers to large enterprises. Growth indicators include continuous product updates, industry recognition, and a broad geographic footprint. Strategic partnerships and a transparent corporate stance enhance its market credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no exposed sensitive data. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of explicit incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms such as a security.txt file indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The company’s products are well-regarded for protection efficacy, but the website could better communicate its security governance and incident handling processes.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear incident response and abuse contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  3. Provide contact details for the Data Protection Officer to enhance GDPR transparency.
  4. Regularly audit and update WHOIS information to ensure domain registration transparency.
  5. Enhance user trust by adding more visible trust seals and certifications on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React and Next.js tech stack, ensuring fast load times and responsive design. Integration with marketing and analytics tools like Kameleoon, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot supports personalization and compliance. The site is well-structured with semantic HTML and accessibility features. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless approach. Hosting details are not explicitly found, but performance and security configurations are strong. Opportunities exist to improve technical transparency around domain registration and security governance.
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.
