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 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. 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

Connected Skills maintains a focused business model as a digital platform for consultant matching, leveraging automation to differentiate from traditional recruitment services. The company has established partnerships with notable clients in energy and other sectors, as evidenced by displayed partner logos and testimonials. Its growth indicators include a network of over 10,500 consultants and 315 partner companies, with 349 assignments filled. The platform's live search and account creation features suggest a scalable SaaS approach targeting freelance consultants and corporate clients. The company’s Swedish base and localized content indicate a regional market focus. The absence of phone contact may reflect a digital-first customer engagement strategy. The partnership with Racoon & Friends for design and development indicates a professional ecosystem supporting the platform.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of DNSSEC reduces DNS security, and no advanced security headers (e.g., Content Security Policy, HSTS) were detected, which could mitigate risks such as clickjacking or XSS. No explicit security policy or incident response contacts were found, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The site uses third-party scripts including Google Tag Manager and Mailchimp, which require ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended best practices and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide incident response contact information to enhance transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding explicit company phone contact details to improve customer trust and support accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform enhanced with React and Material UI components, indicating a hybrid approach combining traditional CMS with modern frontend frameworks. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) is implemented for improved search engine understanding. The site uses Google Tag Manager and Mailchimp for analytics and marketing automation. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization evident. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site uses Fusion Builder for layout and WPML for multilingual support, indicating readiness for internationalization. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but the domain uses multiple name servers from dipcon.com and ports.se. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-structured, supporting scalability and user engagement.
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.
