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

Kilkaya is a specialized analytics and personalization platform targeting publishers and media companies. Founded in 2020, it offers services such as informed personalization, A/B testing, automated frontpages, subscription analytics, API access, and real-time notifications. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with clear service offerings and reputable client logos, positioning Kilkaya as a niche player in the media analytics space. Technically, the site is built on Craft CMS, hosted on Hetzner infrastructure, and uses modern JavaScript and SVG technologies. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though accessibility is basic. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and no consent mechanism. Overall, the site is trustworthy and functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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.

  1. 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.

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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

  3. 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

Kilkaya operates a B2B SaaS business model focused on media publishers, offering tailored analytics and personalization tools. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized focus on news publishers and integration capabilities such as Slack and Microsoft Teams notifications. The presence of well-known publisher logos suggests credible market traction. Revenue likely derives from subscription-based services and demos booked via the website. The company appears small but focused, with no parent or subsidiary companies identified. The marketing ecosystem includes tracking via k5a.io, indicating moderate user analytics. Strategic growth could be supported by expanding privacy compliance and security transparency to meet GDPR and industry standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer lock in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which limits transparency and readiness perception. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerable libraries. Tracking scripts are present but appear legitimate. Compliance gaps exist in privacy and cookie policies, which are critical under GDPR. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved by adopting best practices in headers, disclosures, and consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Add security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Craft CMS and hosted on Hetzner servers, leveraging modern web technologies such as JavaScript modules and SVG graphics. The site loads resources from a CDN (craft.cloud) and uses external tracking scripts from k5a.io. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. The domain is well-registered with a stable WHOIS record and transfer protections. No critical technical debt or vulnerabilities were detected in the visible content. Opportunities exist to modernize security headers and enhance privacy compliance to reduce risk and improve user trust.
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.
