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

5 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 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

Bdjobs.com operates a multi-faceted business model combining job listings, employer recruitment services, and career development resources. Its revenue likely derives from employer job postings, premium recruitment services, and training offerings. The platform serves a broad audience of job seekers and employers in Bangladesh, supported by a network of related subdomains for personalized user accounts and corporate recruitment. The company leverages partnerships and social media channels to enhance reach and engagement. The long domain age and consistent branding reinforce its market credibility. Growth opportunities include expanding e-learning and training services and enhancing compliance and security features to meet international standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection enabled. However, it lacks DNSSEC, which could improve DNS security. No advanced security headers (such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options) were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no visible security or incident response policy, nor vulnerability disclosure information. The absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps, especially regarding GDPR and similar regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved by adopting best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms.
  3. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and enhance user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional but stable technology stack with jQuery 1.11.3 and Bootstrap for responsive design. Analytics and tracking are implemented via Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Microsoft Clarity, indicating extensive user behavior monitoring. Hosting and DNS are managed by reputable providers, ensuring reliable uptime and performance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive CSS and accessible navigation. However, the use of an older jQuery version may pose security risks and modernization opportunities exist. Performance is moderate, with some scripts loaded asynchronously to improve load times. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data, but structured data like JSON-LD was not detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security controls.
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.
