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.

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

Kenya Airways operates primarily in the transportation sector, targeting both business and leisure travelers across Africa and international markets. The airline leverages partnerships through the Sky Team Alliance to expand its network. The business model focuses on passenger and cargo air transport services, supported by loyalty programs and digital booking platforms. The website's content and branding consistency reinforce its market leadership. While WHOIS data is incomplete, the domain and brand reputation align with a large enterprise airline. The company uses advanced marketing and analytics tools to optimize customer engagement and operational insights.

Security posture

The website employs strong security measures including HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. However, the absence of a public vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file limits transparency in security incident handling. No dedicated security policy or incident response contact information is published, which could be improved to enhance trust and readiness. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security audits to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced public security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing Data Protection Officer contact details to strengthen GDPR compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies, primarily Vue.js, supported by Microsoft Application Insights, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and multi-language support, enhancing accessibility for a diverse audience. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and accessibility compliance. The technical infrastructure supports a professional user experience with secure HTTPS connections and appropriate meta tags for SEO. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified, but the use of Azure CDN and Microsoft services suggests a reliable cloud infrastructure.
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.
