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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: RDP

      Port 3389 (RDP) is publicly accessible - RDP - Remote Desktop, prime ransomware target

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to RDP using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  2. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

KONG spa holds a strong market position as a manufacturer and exclusive distributor of safety equipment in Italy and internationally. Their nearly 200-year history and certifications such as ISO 9001 and NATO supplier status provide competitive advantages. The business model combines manufacturing with distribution partnerships and training services, targeting professional users in outdoor, rescue, and industrial sectors. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem with brands like Marlow, Yates, and Alp Design. Growth indicators include active product launches and training offerings. The website content and structure support clear communication of their expertise and product quality.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of security headers, and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from abuse. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, reflecting good data protection practices. However, the absence of explicit incident response contact information and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a gap in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing incident response details and security.txt files.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit incident response and abuse contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  3. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
  4. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and liabilities.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a legacy ASP.NET WebForms platform enhanced with modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Swiper.js for UI components. It uses Google services for analytics and tag management, and ShareThis for social sharing. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in mobile responsiveness and accessibility. The site includes client-side validation and CAPTCHA to secure forms. The technical stack is stable but could benefit from modernization to newer frameworks for improved maintainability and performance.
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.
