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

Coroflot is an established online platform specializing in connecting design professionals with employers through job postings and portfolio hosting. The site targets designers and companies seeking creative talent, offering services such as job listings, portfolio showcases, and a design salary guide. The platform is positioned as a niche leader in the design employment market, supported by its parent company Core77, Inc. The website demonstrates a professional and consistent brand presence with active content and social media engagement. Technically, Coroflot employs a modern web stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and New Relic for performance monitoring. The site is served over HTTPS with valid SSL certificates, ensuring secure communications. While the site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. No CMS or hosting provider details were explicitly identified. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism and explicit privacy compliance features indicates room for improvement in GDPR and privacy adherence. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies were found. Overall, Coroflot presents a trustworthy and functional platform with good business credibility and technical implementation. The main risks relate to privacy compliance and security header implementation. Strategic enhancements in these areas would strengthen the site's security posture and regulatory compliance.

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

6 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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

Coroflot operates as a specialized job board and portfolio platform within the design industry, serving both designers and hiring companies. Its business model revolves around job postings, portfolio hosting, and distribution through a design employment network, targeting a global creative audience. The company benefits from its association with Core77, Inc., enhancing market credibility. The platform's active job listings and featured designer showcases indicate ongoing engagement and growth potential. Marketing efforts leverage social media and targeted distribution channels. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for web form communication, which may impact customer support responsiveness. Overall, Coroflot maintains a solid position in its niche with opportunities to expand compliance and security capabilities.

Security posture

Coroflot demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of New Relic for monitoring indicates proactive performance and error tracking. However, the lack of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth strategies. The absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is basic, with no cookie consent banner detected and limited GDPR indicators. No critical vulnerabilities or malware were observed in the HTML content. Enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and implementing privacy controls would significantly improve the security posture and trustworthiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Deploy a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations, improving user transparency and legal compliance.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness for security events.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security culture.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards, broadening user inclusivity and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional jQuery-based frontend with asynchronous loading of Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics scripts for tracking. New Relic Browser monitoring is integrated for performance insights. The HTML structure is well-formed with meta tags for SEO and Open Graph for social sharing. The site is mobile responsive with appropriate viewport settings and touch icons. No modern frontend frameworks or CMS platforms were detected, suggesting a custom or legacy implementation. Performance is moderate, with some images loaded lazily. The absence of explicit hosting or CDN information limits infrastructure analysis. Overall, the technical implementation is stable but could benefit from modernization and enhanced accessibility 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.
