Partial score · DNS & email only

66/100

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

The website kpmg.de currently returns a 502 Bad Gateway error served by Microsoft Azure Application Gateway, indicating backend service issues or blocking. Due to this, no actual website content, metadata, or interactive elements are accessible for analysis. KPMG is a well-known global professional services firm operating in the finance sector, with a strong enterprise presence in Germany. The domain WHOIS data is consistent and legitimate, showing proper domain status and authoritative name servers. However, the lack of accessible content prevents evaluation of the website's technical maturity, security posture, and compliance with privacy regulations. The hosting on Microsoft Azure suggests enterprise-grade infrastructure, but the current unavailability is a critical operational issue.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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

  • Security headers: 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

KPMG is a major player in the finance and professional services industry, targeting enterprise clients with audit, tax, and advisory services. The domain kpmg.de is consistent with the brand and likely serves the German market. Due to the inaccessible website, no direct insights into business model specifics, revenue streams, or partnership ecosystems can be derived from the site content. The domain registration data supports legitimacy and alignment with the brand's global presence.

Security posture

No security headers, policies, or incident response information are available due to the inaccessible website. The use of Microsoft Azure Application Gateway indicates potential for robust security controls, but the 502 error suggests backend service or configuration issues that could impact availability and reliability. No vulnerabilities or compliance gaps can be assessed from the current data.

Recommendations

  1. Restore website availability to enable full content and security analysis.
  2. Implement and expose comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance.
  3. Add clear contact information and security incident response channels.
  4. Deploy security headers and conduct regular vulnerability assessments.
  5. Monitor and optimize backend infrastructure to prevent gateway errors and improve reliability.

Key observations

  1. Website content is inaccessible due to 502 Bad Gateway error.
  2. No metadata, forms, scripts, or external links detected in the HTML content.
  3. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies found.
  4. No contact information or security policies available on the page.
  5. Hosting is on Microsoft Azure Application Gateway, indicating enterprise-grade infrastructure.
  6. WHOIS data is consistent and indicates legitimate domain registration.
  7. Unable to perform full content, security, or compliance analysis due to lack of accessible content.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted behind Microsoft Azure Application Gateway v2, indicating use of cloud infrastructure. However, the site currently returns a 502 Bad Gateway error with minimal HTML content and no metadata, scripts, or forms. No CMS or frameworks can be detected. The lack of accessible content prevents assessment of performance, SEO, mobile optimization, or accessibility. The DNS configuration shows three authoritative name servers, consistent with enterprise domain management.
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.
