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

Kuula Inc. operates a leading SaaS platform specializing in 3D 360 virtual tour software tailored for diverse industries including real estate, architecture, and education. Founded in 2016 in the United States, Kuula has established a strong market position with over 500,000 users and billions of views on its virtual tours. The platform offers a comprehensive suite of features including a powerful editor, mobile and VR support, and flexible sharing options, catering to both individual professionals and businesses through tiered PRO and Business plans. Technically, Kuula leverages modern web technologies such as WebGL and WebXR to deliver immersive experiences across devices and platforms. The site is hosted on a robust CDN infrastructure ensuring fast performance and global availability. The use of Google reCAPTCHA and Stripe for payments reflects a mature approach to security and user trust. While the site demonstrates good SEO and mobile optimization, accessibility features could be enhanced. From a security perspective, Kuula enforces HTTPS and employs several best practices, though explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent. Privacy compliance is strong with a comprehensive privacy policy and GDPR adherence, but the lack of a visible cookie consent banner is a minor gap. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned in its niche. Strategically, Kuula should focus on enhancing security transparency, improving accessibility, and implementing cookie consent mechanisms to further strengthen compliance and user trust. These steps will support sustained growth and resilience in a competitive market.

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

3 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.

    • 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

  • 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

Kuula's market positioning as a top virtual tour software provider is supported by its extensive user base and media recognition. The SaaS business model with freemium and paid tiers enables scalable revenue streams. Key competitive advantages include ease of use, broad camera compatibility, and multi-platform support including VR. The company targets professionals and businesses in real estate, architecture, and related sectors, leveraging partnerships such as Stripe for payments. Growth indicators include frequent feature updates, active blog content, and a global community. The partnership ecosystem is limited but includes essential services for payments and analytics. Kuula's operations reflect a mature digital presence with strategic focus on user experience and platform capabilities.

Security posture

Kuula exhibits a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse, and secure payment processing via Stripe. The absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure channels suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Security headers are partially implemented or implied but could be explicitly declared for enhanced protection. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy policy and related pages, though cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Overall, Kuula maintains a good security baseline appropriate for its business scale but should formalize policies and disclosures to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and display a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security posture.
  4. Explicitly configure and declare security headers such as Referrer-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity and meet WCAG standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with advanced features like WebGL and WebXR for immersive virtual tours. It uses a CDN (Amazon Cloudfront) for static assets to ensure fast global delivery. Google reCAPTCHA integration helps prevent abuse, and Plausible Analytics is used for privacy-conscious user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and supports VR devices without requiring app installations. Performance is fast with well-structured content and SEO-friendly metadata. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks are low, but some security headers and accessibility improvements are recommended to reduce potential attack surface and improve compliance.
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.
