Risk levelMedium

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

SM그룹 is a large South Korean conglomerate operating across multiple sectors including manufacturing, construction, shipping, media, and leisure. The company presents itself as a global leader with a diversified portfolio of subsidiaries, targeting general consumers, business partners, and potential employees. The website reflects a professional corporate identity with consistent branding and comprehensive information about its subsidiaries and business areas. Technically, the website uses modern JavaScript libraries and tracking tools such as Google Analytics and Tag Manager, hosted by Megazone, a Korean hosting provider. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices but lacks advanced accessibility features. Security-wise, the domain registration is transparent and consistent with the business, but the website lacks DNSSEC and security headers, and no cookie consent mechanism is present, which may affect compliance. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but could improve its security posture and privacy compliance to align with best practices.

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

7 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 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

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

SM그룹 holds a strong market position as a diversified conglomerate with a broad range of subsidiaries in manufacturing, construction, shipping, media, and leisure sectors. Its business model leverages multiple subsidiaries to cover various industries, providing stability and growth opportunities. The company targets a wide audience including consumers, partners, and job seekers, supported by a dedicated recruitment portal. The presence of multiple official subsidiary domains and active media content indicates a well-established ecosystem. However, the lack of visible certifications or advanced security policies suggests room for maturity in governance and compliance. The company benefits from a strong brand presence in South Korea and aims for global recognition.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture. The domain is registered with clear and consistent WHOIS data, and the domain status clientTransferProhibited adds protection against unauthorized transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security robustness. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which may hinder rapid response to security events. The site uses HTTPS (assumed but not explicitly confirmed), but no cookie consent mechanism is implemented, which may affect privacy compliance. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved with standard security best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to protect against common web attacks.
  3. Deploy a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to demonstrate commitment to security and transparency.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of jQuery, jQuery UI, Slick Carousel, and Swiper.js for UI and interactive elements, indicating a moderately modern front-end stack. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for analytics and tracking, reflecting standard marketing practices. The hosting provider is Megazone, a Korean hosting service, which aligns with the registrant's location. Performance is moderate with some multimedia content such as videos on the homepage. Mobile optimization is basic but functional. The site lacks advanced accessibility features and some SEO optimizations could be enhanced. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but could benefit from modernization and improved accessibility.
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.
