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

Kokoro is an award-winning insights agency specializing in consumer research and strategic consulting. With over 25 years of expertise, they partner with businesses to develop propositions, customer segmentation, brand communication, and provide a proprietary platform for insights. The company targets businesses with ambitious growth strategies and positions itself as a trusted advisor with multiple industry awards and client testimonials. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme and LayerSlider plugin, with SEO optimization via Yoast and analytics through Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and professionally maintained. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for improvement. Privacy compliance is partial, with a cookie policy and consent mechanism present but no visible privacy or terms of service pages. Overall, the domain registration is consistent and legitimate, supporting the business credibility. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing comprehensive privacy and terms policies.

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

7 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

  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

Kokoro operates in the market research and consumer insights sector, serving a diverse client base from startups to global brands. Their business model focuses on delivering actionable insights through qualitative and quantitative research, supported by a proprietary platform. The company has a strong market position evidenced by multiple awards and recognitions. Their growth is supported by a clear service portfolio and strategic partnerships. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, reinforcing their credibility. The absence of explicit contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled client engagement via contact forms.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement in defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts introduces potential privacy risks that should be managed carefully. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by adopting recommended best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  4. Establish and publicize an incident response contact channel to enhance security incident management.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and ensure secure form handling to protect user data and privacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with the Avada theme and LayerSlider plugin, indicating a mature and flexible infrastructure. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin, and analytics are managed via Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight Tag. The site is mobile-optimized and features a professional design with clear navigation. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The lack of DNSSEC and security headers represents technical debt in security. No signs of outdated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided data. Overall, the technical implementation supports business goals but should address security enhancements.
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.
