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

Alma Career is a leading recruitment services provider operating across multiple European regions including the Adriatic, Central Europe, the Baltics, and Finland. The company offers a comprehensive portfolio of HR and recruitment solutions such as job postings, CV databases, salary and HR data, employer branding, applicant tracking systems, online education, employee satisfaction tools, and recruitment services. Their extensive network reaches over 70 million people, positioning them as a market leader in their sector. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and mobile optimization. Technically, the site is built on modern frameworks like Next.js and React, leveraging Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and security headers implemented, though explicit security policies and incident response details are not publicly available. Privacy compliance is well addressed with GDPR-aligned privacy and cookie policies. However, the absence of WHOIS domain registration data introduces some uncertainty regarding domain legitimacy. Overall, Alma Career presents a robust business and digital profile with minor areas for improvement in transparency and security disclosures.

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. 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 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 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. 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

Alma Career operates a broad ecosystem of recruitment and HR-related brands and platforms, serving employers, recruiters, and job seekers. Their business model combines B2B and B2C services, leveraging data-driven technologies to streamline hiring processes. The company’s market position is strong, supported by a wide geographic footprint and multiple localized brands. Revenue streams likely include advertising, subscription services for CV database access, recruitment services, and HR data products. The partnership ecosystem includes numerous regional job boards and HR platforms, enhancing market reach and service diversity. Growth indicators include high monthly visits and extensive product offerings. Strategic observations highlight the company’s focus on innovation, technology integration, and social responsibility initiatives.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers such as HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies, but no explicit mention of security frameworks or certifications was found. The overall security maturity is good, with recommendations to enhance incident response visibility and consider publishing a security.txt file or similar disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Provide clear incident response and abuse contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance transparency around data protection officer contact details and compliance measures.
  5. Regularly review and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Next.js and React, ensuring a performant and responsive user experience. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for tracking and marketing analytics. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with proper meta tags and SEO practices in place. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or framework-based solution. Hosting provider details were not discernible from the HTML content. Performance appears fast with efficient resource loading and preloading strategies. Technical risks are minimal, though continuous monitoring for library vulnerabilities and performance optimization is recommended.
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.
