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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention kyndryl.org, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for kyndryl.org right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Business context

Business profile

Kyndryl Foundation positions itself as a key philanthropic arm of Kyndryl Inc., focusing on social good through grantmaking in education, climate, and economic inclusion. The foundation's market positioning leverages Kyndryl's corporate reputation, targeting non-profit organizations and underserved communities worldwide. The business model centers on trust-based philanthropy with a focus on long-term impact and collaboration. The website highlights multiple grantees and programs, indicating active engagement and investment. The foundation's use of advanced web technologies and analytics tools supports effective outreach and impact measurement. However, direct contact information is limited to a contact form, which may affect user engagement. The foundation's strategic partnerships and grantmaking principles reflect a forward-thinking and data-driven approach to social impact.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of modern analytics and marketing scripts is balanced with privacy considerations, though the lack of a visible cookie consent banner is a compliance gap. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and trust. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is noted but not critical. Overall, the site reflects good security hygiene appropriate for a corporate foundation website.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies accessible from the website.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance SEO metadata and structured data to improve search engine visibility and accessibility.
  5. Provide direct contact emails and phone numbers for improved user communication and support.

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.
