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

apply.coop is a specialized job board operated by Limeleaf Worker Collective, LLC, focusing on connecting job seekers with values-driven organizations such as cooperatives, nonprofits, and public benefit corporations. The platform offers curated job listings with detailed workplace profiles, targeting individuals seeking meaningful careers with social impact. The website is relatively new, founded in 2025, and positions itself as a niche player in the job board market with a clear mission and consistent branding. Technically, the website employs modern web standards including HTML5 and CSS3 with Flexbox Grid for layout, and uses GoatCounter for privacy-conscious analytics. Hosting is provided by EnCirca, Inc., and the domain is secured with HTTPS and clientTransferProhibited status, though DNSSEC is not enabled. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features are basic. No major CMS or frameworks are detected, suggesting a custom or lightweight platform. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and domain transfer protection but lacks DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, and no cookie consent mechanism is present despite analytics usage. The overall security posture is moderate with room for improvement in headers and transparency. Overall, apply.coop presents a professional, trustworthy, and focused platform with good content quality and business credibility. The main risks relate to security best practices and privacy compliance enhancements. Strategic improvements in security headers, cookie consent, and published policies would strengthen trust and compliance.

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 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

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

apply.coop operates as a small, focused job board targeting the cooperative and nonprofit sectors in the United States. Its business model centers on providing a platform for values-driven organizations to post jobs and for candidates to find meaningful employment opportunities. The company benefits from a clear niche market with limited direct competition, leveraging its parent company Limeleaf Worker Collective's cooperative ethos. Revenue streams likely include job posting fees and possibly premium listings. The partnership with social.coop for federated social media presence enhances community engagement. Growth potential exists in expanding job listings and workplace profiles. The company maintains consistent branding and a professional web presence, supporting its market positioning as a trusted resource for impact-driven careers.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection enabled. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers exposes potential risks such as DNS spoofing and clickjacking. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of published security policies and incident response contacts indicates limited transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism despite analytics tracking. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small job board but requires enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing attacks.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  4. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and security practices to maintain compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a clean and modern technical stack with HTML5, CSS3, and Flexbox Grid for responsive design. It leverages GoatCounter for lightweight analytics, reflecting a privacy-conscious approach. Hosting is managed by EnCirca, Inc., a known registrar and hosting provider. The site performs moderately well with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. No major CMS or frameworks were detected, suggesting a custom-built solution which may reduce attack surface but requires ongoing maintenance. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates technical debt in security hardening. Overall, the infrastructure is solid for a small niche platform but could benefit from modernization in security and privacy features.
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.
