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

Marketagent.com online reSEARCH GmbH operates the Arbeitsmarkt-Kompass website, providing quarterly labor market insights and surveys focused on the Austrian workforce. The company is positioned as a pioneer in digital market research in Austria, leveraging a large ISO-certified online panel. The website serves as a dashboard and information portal for labor market trends, targeting employees, employers, and analysts. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies with embedded dashboards but lacks modern security configurations, notably missing HTTPS support despite HSTS headers. Security posture is weak due to absence of SSL/TLS, which is a critical issue. Privacy compliance is minimal with no explicit privacy policy or terms of service pages, though a cookie consent mechanism is implemented but hidden by default. Business credibility is strong with transparent contact and company information consistent with WHOIS data. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires urgent security improvements.

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

8 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 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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';…

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention arbeitsmarktkompass.at, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for arbeitsmarktkompass.at right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The company holds a strong market position in Austria's market research sector, focusing on labor market sentiment and consumer insights. Its business model revolves around quantitative and qualitative research services, supported by a large online panel. Partnerships with Leitbetriebe Austria enhance its credibility and reach. The target audience includes Austrian workforce and business stakeholders interested in employment trends. The company demonstrates stable operations with ISO certifications and a clear legal presence. Growth potential lies in expanding digital services and improving data transparency. The partnership ecosystem includes reputable Austrian organizations, reinforcing market trust.

Security posture

The current security maturity is low due to the lack of HTTPS and valid SSL certificates, exposing users to potential data interception risks. Security headers are partially implemented but ineffective without TLS. No advanced security frameworks or incident response contacts are provided. The absence of privacy policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and NIS2 requirements. The site does not use tracking or analytics that might raise privacy concerns but also lacks transparency in data protection. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS and privacy documentation is critical to improve security posture and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the site.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to comply with GDPR.
  3. Enable and properly configure HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Implement a visible and user-friendly cookie consent banner with clear options.
  5. Establish and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses basic HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with embedded iframes for dashboards. It loads Google Fonts and external resources from trusted domains. Hosting is via Cloudpit DNS servers. Performance metrics are missing but inferred slow. Mobile optimization is basic with responsive navigation elements. SEO is minimal with some Open Graph tags but no structured data. The lack of SSL/TLS is a major technical debt and security risk. No CMS or advanced frameworks detected. The site would benefit from modernization including performance optimization, accessibility improvements, and enhanced SEO.
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.
