Risk levelLow

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

Kores is a company specializing in stationery and creative products, offering a broad product range including glues, colouring, erasers, measuring tools, and office accessories. The website presents a professional and well-structured digital presence with multiple country-specific sites and online shopping options through Amazon and dedicated stores. The technical infrastructure is based on WordPress CMS with modern frontend technologies such as Swiper.js and custom web components, providing a good user experience and mobile optimization. However, the security posture is moderate due to the absence of visible security headers and lack of detailed SSL configuration information. Privacy compliance is weak, with no explicit privacy or cookie policies detected. The WHOIS data for the domain www.kores.com is unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration transparency and trustworthiness. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy measures.

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

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      Missing Permissions-Policy header

      Controls browser features and APIs

      What to do: Implement a Permissions-Policy to restrict feature access

      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Permissions-Policy: accelerometer=(), autoplay=(), camera=(), cross-origin-isolated=(),…
  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Medium

      Privacy policy may not be GDPR compliant

      Privacy policy lacks explicit GDPR compliance elements

      What to do: Update privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR requirements and user rights

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Medium

      No DKIM record found

      DKIM adds cryptographic signatures to emails

      What to do: Configure DKIM with your email provider

    • Medium

      No MTA-STS Policy

      MTA-STS enforces TLS for email delivery

      What to do: Implement MTA-STS to prevent downgrade attacks

  4. 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.

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

Kores operates in the retail sector, targeting general consumers interested in stationery and creative products. The business model focuses on manufacturing and retail, supported by an international presence with localized websites and partnerships with major online marketplaces like Amazon. The company leverages downloadable product catalogues and online shopping to engage customers. While the website content is rich and relevant, the lack of publicly available WHOIS data and absence of privacy and security policies may impact customer trust. The company appears to maintain consistent branding and has trust indicators such as official catalogues and multiple regional sites. There is no evidence of direct revenue streams or detailed business registration information in the provided data.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS, but no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, which suggests room for improvement in security best practices. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries, but the absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No incident response or security contact information is available, limiting the organization's readiness to handle security incidents. The lack of WHOIS data reduces transparency and trust in domain ownership. Overall, the security maturity level is moderate, with recommendations to implement security headers, privacy policies, and incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish terms of service and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Verify and publish domain WHOIS information or use a verified domain registrar to improve legitimacy.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with modern frontend technologies including Modernizr and Swiper.js for interactive elements. Custom web components are used for UI features, indicating a moderate level of technical sophistication. The site is mobile optimized and has a clear navigation structure. However, performance is moderate and SEO optimization is basic, with limited meta tags and no detected analytics or tracking scripts. There is no information about hosting providers or CDN usage. The technical debt appears low but could be improved by adding accessibility features and enhancing SEO practices.
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.
