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. 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 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

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

Business profile

CareerSource Florida holds a strong market position as the statewide leader in workforce development policy and services. Its business model centers on government-funded programs and grants that support talent development and employment services. The organization targets employers seeking skilled workers and individuals pursuing career advancement in Florida. Partnerships with related workforce and apprenticeship programs enhance its service offerings. The website content and structure support its mission and provide clear pathways for users to access services and information. The presence of multiple social media channels and analytics tools indicates active engagement and outreach efforts. No suspicious or fraudulent indicators were found, reinforcing the organization's credibility and trustworthiness in its sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer restrictions in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents areas for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The use of multiple third-party scripts for analytics and marketing introduces potential risk vectors that should be regularly audited. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available on the site, which could be improved to enhance transparency and preparedness. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a government-related site but could benefit from implementing additional best practices and compliance measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  4. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to demonstrate preparedness and build trust.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to minimize vulnerabilities and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using popular plugins such as Yoast SEO, Slider Revolution, and WPBakery Page Builder, indicating a well-supported and extensible infrastructure. Hosting is provided by DreamHost, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features, though these could be enhanced further. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data. The use of multiple analytics and marketing tools suggests a mature approach to user engagement and data-driven decision making. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts and lack of DNSSEC and security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve 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.
