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

1 finding 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.

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

  • SSL/TLS: did not complete in this scan.
  • Email security: did not complete in this scan.
  • DNS health: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Kontron operates in the embedded computing and IoT technology sector, targeting industrial clients and technology integrators. The business model is B2B, focusing on providing hardware and software solutions for smart IoT applications. The company leverages certifications such as ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 to build trust and comply with industry standards. The website's extensive use of third-party analytics and marketing tools indicates active customer engagement and lead generation strategies. The lack of visible domain registration details is unusual for a company of this size and may impact trust. Kontron's partnership ecosystem includes major platforms like LinkedIn and YouTube for brand presence. The company appears to maintain consistent branding and content quality, supporting its market position as a technology leader.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. The presence of CSRF tokens and cookie consent mechanisms further enhance security and privacy compliance. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and readiness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The extensive use of third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security audits to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing formal security governance documents and incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize security risks from external dependencies.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to strengthen domain legitimacy and business credibility.

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.
