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

Kognitiv Corporation operates an AI-powered customer loyalty platform designed to help businesses enhance customer relationships and maximize lifetime value through advanced AI/ML models. The company is positioned as an innovator in marketing technology, recognized by industry awards and backed by a strong partner ecosystem including Salesforce and Braze. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, comprehensive content, and clear navigation targeting B2B clients seeking loyalty and marketing technology solutions. Technically, the site leverages modern CMS and marketing tools but suffers from critical security shortcomings due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, which significantly impacts its security posture. Privacy policies and GDPR compliance are well addressed, though incident response and security policy disclosures are lacking. Overall, the domain registration and WHOIS data align well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. Strategic improvements in security infrastructure are recommended to enhance trust and compliance.

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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

Kognitiv's market positioning as a provider of AI-native loyalty and marketing solutions is reinforced by its comprehensive product suite including Pulse, Inspire, Ignite, Amplify, and Marketplaces. The business model focuses on scalable SaaS offerings with extensive integrations and AI-driven personalization capabilities. The company targets medium to large enterprises across retail and other sectors, leveraging partnerships and certifications to build trust. The recent acquisition by Capillary Technologies suggests growth and expansion potential. The website content and resources demonstrate thought leadership and customer success, supporting strong brand credibility and customer engagement.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, exposing the site to risks such as data interception and loss of user trust. While some security headers are present, critical best practices like OCSP stapling, session resumption, and comprehensive HSTS policies are missing. The absence of incident response and vulnerability disclosure information indicates limited transparency in security management. These gaps pose business risks, especially given the platform's handling of customer data and AI-driven personalization. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues and enhancement of security policies are essential to mitigate risks and comply with industry standards.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable and configure modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and 1.3) and disable legacy protocols.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  4. Enhance security headers including Content-Security-Policy and HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  5. Publish clear security policies and incident response procedures to improve transparency and trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS, utilizing modern web technologies including HubSpot forms, Google Tag Manager, Typekit fonts, and Lottie animations. Hosting and DNS services are provided by Cloudflare and DNS Made Easy respectively, ensuring reliable delivery and DNS management. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices and accessibility at a basic level. However, performance metrics are unavailable, and the lack of SSL/TLS undermines secure communications. The technical stack supports scalability and integration but requires urgent security upgrades to align with best practices and protect user data.
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.
