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

3 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 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

Azubi.de operates in the education sector, focusing on vocational training and dual studies in Germany. Its business model combines job listing services with employer branding and advertising solutions. The platform targets a niche but significant market segment of apprentices and students, supported by a large user base and partnerships with well-known companies. The presence of premium partners and a CO2-neutral website badge enhances its brand trustworthiness. The company is part of the FUNKE Mediengruppe ecosystem, indicating strong backing and resources. The website's content and navigation are tailored to facilitate easy job search and application, supporting growth and user engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with mandatory HTTPS, CSRF protection, and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. The use of third-party scripts is managed via consent, reducing privacy risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. However, explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and Content-Security-Policy were not visibly confirmed and should be audited. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which is a common gap but could be improved for transparency. Overall, the site is secure for its purpose with room for minor enhancements.

Recommendations

  1. Audit and explicitly implement security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Content-Security-Policy.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly review third-party scripts and tracking services for compliance and security risks.
  4. Ensure all cookies have Secure and HttpOnly flags set appropriately.
  5. Maintain and update GDPR compliance documentation and cookie consent mechanisms.

The website is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data. Performance is fast due to efficient resource loading and CDN usage. The technical infrastructure supports a scalable and user-centric platform with minimal technical debt visible from the HTML content.
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.
