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

Broadcast Jobs is a UK-focused online platform providing guidance and resources for job seekers in the TV, film, and media industries. It aggregates and directs users to job listings, professional recruiters, freelancing opportunities, and diversity initiatives. The site is positioned as a niche resource within the UK media job market, targeting professionals and freelancers seeking employment opportunities. Technically, the website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging its CMS and hosting infrastructure, with a moderate performance profile and good mobile optimization. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS with HSTS, indicating a strong SSL configuration, but lacks publicly available privacy, cookie, and security policies, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and explicit security disclosures.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

    • 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

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 business operates as a small, specialized media sector resource in the UK, focusing on job market facilitation rather than direct recruitment or job placement. Its business model centers on providing curated information and referrals, including linking to an external job board (grapevinejobs.co.uk). The presence of social media links and a contact email suggests some engagement channels, though social profiles appear generic and linked to Squarespace rather than the business itself. The lack of detailed company registration or VAT information indicates a small or sole proprietorship operation. The site’s content and design quality support a moderate market position with potential for growth if expanded with more direct services or partnerships.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good baseline security posture with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, protecting data in transit. No security headers beyond HSTS were explicitly detected in the HTML content, and no exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, security incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. The site does not appear to collect user data via forms on the main page, reducing immediate risk, but the lack of cookie consent mechanisms may pose GDPR compliance issues. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in policy transparency and user data protection.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing data collection, use, and user rights to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement a cookie policy and consent banner to inform users and obtain consent for tracking or cookies.
  3. Add a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing its CMS, hosting, and built-in features. It uses Google Fonts for typography and SVG icons for UI elements. The site loads multiple compressed JavaScript bundles from Squarespace’s CDN, indicating modern asset management. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading and responsive design elements. The site lacks advanced analytics or tracking scripts, suggesting minimal user data collection. Technical debt appears low due to the managed platform, but opportunities exist to improve SEO metadata completeness and accessibility compliance. The site’s technical infrastructure is stable and suitable for its business scope.
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.
