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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

Kreos Capital operates in the niche market of growth and venture debt financing, targeting equity-backed companies in technology and healthcare sectors. Its acquisition by BlackRock enhances its market credibility and access to capital. The business model revolves around providing flexible debt solutions tailored to high-growth companies, enabling them to scale without diluting equity. The website's content and structure emphasize transparency, investor relations, and regulatory compliance, reflecting a mature business with a clear growth trajectory. Partnerships with platforms like Pear Online for investor access and integration with BlackRock's compliance frameworks indicate a well-established ecosystem. The company leverages digital tools for marketing, analytics, and consent management, supporting data-driven decision-making and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of nonce attributes in scripts to mitigate injection risks. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, providing users control over tracking and marketing cookies, aligning with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options were not evident and should be implemented to enhance protection against common web attacks. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly disclosed on the site, which is a potential area for improvement. Overall, the security measures are adequate for a financial services website but could be strengthened with additional headers and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking technologies to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy risks.
  5. Consider adding direct contact emails or phone numbers for customer and security inquiries to improve communication.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a proprietary CMS platform associated with BlackRock, utilizing modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript technologies. It integrates Google Fonts for typography and OneTrust for cookie consent management, ensuring regulatory compliance. Tag management and analytics are handled via Tealium, providing robust data collection and marketing capabilities. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and uses video and image sliders for engaging content presentation. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading and preloading of CSS assets. Hosting appears to be managed by BlackRock or affiliated providers, ensuring enterprise-grade infrastructure. Opportunities exist to improve SEO and accessibility further, as well as to implement additional security headers for enhanced protection.
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.
