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

KOSIGN is a music publishing platform powered by Kobalt Music Group, Limited, designed to empower artists, producers, and songwriters to manage and collect their global publishing royalties efficiently. The platform leverages trusted technology used by renowned songwriters, offering a streamlined process for membership application, song submission, and royalty collection. The website presents a professional and modern digital presence with clear branding and comprehensive content focused on its core services. Technically, the site is built on modern frameworks such as React and Next.js, hosted on Vercel, and integrates multiple analytics and tracking tools while maintaining good privacy compliance with a cookie consent mechanism. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and security headers in place, though explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are absent. The WHOIS data is missing, which raises some concerns about domain registration legitimacy, but the overall trust is supported by the association with Kobalt and professional content. Strategic recommendations include adding explicit security and incident response policies and verifying domain registration details to enhance trust.

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

2 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 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. 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

KOSIGN operates in the media sector as a specialized music publishing platform targeting artists, producers, and songwriters seeking transparent and efficient royalty collection. Its competitive advantage lies in its partnership with Kobalt, a recognized leader in music publishing technology, which enhances credibility and market positioning. The business model focuses on membership fees and royalty administration services, with a clear value proposition of faster and transparent payments. The platform's ecosystem includes customer support via Zendesk and social media engagement on Instagram and LinkedIn. Growth indicators include active blog content and multimedia resources educating users on music publishing. The company maintains a medium-sized digital footprint with consistent branding and high-quality content, positioning itself as a trusted intermediary in the music publishing industry.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure page limits transparency and preparedness communication. The use of multiple tracking pixels and analytics services is balanced with user consent mechanisms, indicating responsible data handling. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing explicit security governance documents and providing direct security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents or abuse reports.
  4. Verify and publish domain registration details to improve trust and legitimacy.
  5. Maintain transparency on data retention and privacy practices beyond cookie consent.

The integration of Google Analytics, Facebook, TikTok, and Reddit pixels supports comprehensive marketing analytics.

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.
