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

6 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

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

The company holds a strong market position as the largest automotive job board in the Netherlands, leveraging partnerships with multiple related automotive recruitment and media sites to broaden its reach. Its business model is focused on connecting automotive job seekers with employers through a digital platform offering various services including job alerts and CV management. The target audience is clearly defined as automotive professionals and employers in the Netherlands. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting trustworthiness. The company appears to be medium-sized with a focused sector presence in transportation. The partnership ecosystem includes several niche automotive recruitment sites, enhancing its market penetration and service offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure login forms. It employs cookie consent mechanisms indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, it lacks implementation of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response information, nor a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which limits transparency and preparedness visibility. Third-party scripts are used extensively, which requires ongoing monitoring to prevent supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with additional controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain compliance with evolving standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform utilizing jQuery and several jQuery plugins for UI components such as carousels and autocomplete. It integrates multiple third-party services including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Zopim Live Chat, and AddThis for analytics, marketing, and user engagement. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and uses Google Fonts for typography. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed by optimizing scripts and images. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical stack is somewhat dated due to reliance on jQuery but remains functional. There is an opportunity to modernize the frontend framework and improve accessibility compliance.
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.
