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

AIJobs.app is a specialized job board platform focusing on artificial intelligence roles across various functions including development, design, marketing, and sales. It serves as a marketplace connecting job seekers with fast-growing AI startups, offering over 100,000 job listings. The platform leverages modern web technologies such as Ruby on Rails, Hotwired Turbo, StimulusJS, and Algolia for search, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly experience. The site is well-branded and professionally designed, targeting both employers and candidates in the AI startup ecosystem. From a technical perspective, the website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. It uses HTTPS with CSRF protections on forms, but lacks some security headers and explicit security policies. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates partial privacy compliance, which could be improved to meet GDPR and other regulations fully. Contact information is limited to a support email and contact forms, with no phone numbers or physical addresses disclosed. Security posture is moderate, with secure form handling and HTTPS but missing explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosures. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. The domain uses privacy protection for WHOIS data, which is common and justified for this business type. Overall, the site appears legitimate and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced transparency and compliance documentation. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, and providing incident response contacts to improve trust and compliance. Enhancing accessibility and performance monitoring could further strengthen the platform's technical robustness.

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 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

AIJobs.app occupies a niche market as a dedicated AI job board, differentiating itself by focusing exclusively on AI startups and roles. Its business model revolves around job postings paid by employers (e.g., $299 per job post) and advertising opportunities. The platform targets tech professionals seeking AI-related jobs and startups looking to hire specialized talent. The integration with Algolia and use of advanced search filters indicate a focus on user experience and efficient job discovery. Partnerships with related job boards like Startup Jobs and Web3 Career suggest a broader ecosystem engagement. The site’s moderate size and professional presentation indicate a stable operation with growth potential in the expanding AI job market.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses CSRF tokens in forms, which are positive security practices. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. There is no published security policy or incident response information, limiting transparency in handling security incidents. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were found. The absence of these elements suggests room for improvement in security maturity and compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by adopting industry best practices and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide a public security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern Ruby on Rails stack with Hotwired Turbo and StimulusJS for dynamic front-end interactions, combined with Tailwind CSS for styling. It uses Algolia for fast and relevant search capabilities and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized and uses canonical and Open Graph meta tags for SEO and social media sharing. Performance appears moderate with module preloading and asynchronous script loading. There is no indication of a third-party CMS, suggesting a custom-built platform. Hosting details are not explicit, but the use of ImageKit and external analytics indicates a distributed infrastructure. Technical risks are low, but the lack of some security headers and privacy policies represents technical debt that should be addressed.
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.
