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. 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. 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

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  4. 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

The company positions itself as an essential IT service provider within the Kakao ecosystem, leveraging its parent company's brand and infrastructure. Its business model combines platform operations with specialized welfare services, targeting internal Kakao employees and related corporate clients. The presence of certifications related to disability and family-friendly workplace policies suggests a strong commitment to social responsibility. The website's clean design and clear navigation support a positive user experience, although the absence of terms of service and cookie consent may limit full compliance. No external advertising or tracking services are detected, indicating a focus on corporate communication rather than marketing. The company appears stable with a medium size and a clear growth trajectory since 2017.

Security posture

Security measures include HTTPS and no visible exposure of sensitive data, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which could be a gap in transparency and readiness. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms may also pose compliance risks under privacy regulations. Overall, the security posture is moderate, suitable for a corporate informational site but requiring enhancements to meet higher standards. Recommendations include implementing security headers, publishing security policies, and adding cookie consent to improve compliance and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security maturity and readiness.
  4. Develop and publish terms of service to clarify user rights and obligations.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Nuxt.js, a modern Vue.js framework, indicating a contemporary and maintainable codebase. It leverages the Kakao Maps API for location services, integrating well with the parent company's ecosystem. Hosting is provided by Megazone, a known Korean hosting provider, as per WHOIS data. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations such as skip links and ARIA roles. Performance is moderate, with preloading and module preloading techniques used for scripts and assets. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or static site generation approach. The absence of analytics or tracking scripts indicates a privacy-conscious approach or limited marketing focus. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with opportunities for performance tuning and enhanced security integration.
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.
