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

Adzuna.at is an Austrian localized job search engine operated by ADZUNA LTD, aggregating over 80,000 unique job listings from multiple sources. The platform targets job seekers in Austria and provides advanced search capabilities, salary statistics, and a mobile app to facilitate job hunting. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and good content quality, supporting a medium-sized business model focused on online recruitment services. Technically, the site employs modern front-end technologies including jQuery, Tailwind CSS, and Google Tag Manager, ensuring mobile optimization and good SEO practices. Performance is moderate with no critical technical issues detected. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling, though security headers could be improved. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies aligned with GDPR requirements. The security evaluation reveals no exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities in the visible content. However, the absence of explicit security policies or incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. The lack of WHOIS data limits domain trust assessment, but the website's professionalism and security measures support a high trustworthiness rating. Overall, Adzuna.at presents a reliable and user-friendly job search platform with solid technical and privacy foundations. Strategic enhancements in security headers and incident response disclosures would further strengthen its security posture and user trust.

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

4 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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. 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';…

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

Adzuna.at operates as a job search aggregator in the Austrian market, leveraging a broad network of job boards and employers to provide a comprehensive job listing service. Its competitive advantage lies in intelligent job matching algorithms, extensive job data, and salary insights that empower job seekers. The business model is primarily based on online advertising and possibly partnerships with employers and recruitment agencies. The platform targets individual job seekers, including remote workers, and supports mobile users via dedicated apps. The company maintains a consistent brand presence and leverages global infrastructure for content delivery and analytics. Growth potential exists through expanding job categories, enhancing user engagement, and deepening employer partnerships. The absence of direct contact details on the homepage suggests a focus on digital self-service rather than direct sales or support.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and secure form submission practices. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options indicates an opportunity to harden defenses against common web attacks. The site includes standard tracking and advertising scripts, which are typical but require ongoing monitoring to prevent supply chain risks. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which could hinder user confidence and incident handling efficiency. GDPR compliance is evident through privacy and cookie policies, but explicit data retention and breach notification details are not found. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with enhanced headers and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to minimize supply chain risks and vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding direct company contact information such as verified emails or phone numbers to support business credibility and user support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with jQuery, Tailwind CSS, and Swiper.js for UI components, supported by Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting appears to leverage CDN services for static assets, improving performance and availability. No CMS or backend technology is explicitly detected from the HTML. Performance is moderate with no broken elements or errors observed. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical implementation supports a scalable and maintainable platform suitable for a medium-sized online job search business.
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.
