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

CV-Online is a leading online job portal operating primarily in Latvia and the Baltic region, offering job listings, CV database access, and recruitment services. It is part of the Alma Career family, which operates multiple regional job portals, indicating a strong market position and extensive network. The website is professionally designed with a focus on user experience, mobile optimization, and clear navigation, targeting job seekers and employers alike. Technically, the site leverages modern web technologies including React and Next.js, with integrations for analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Facebook Pixel, and Intercom. The infrastructure supports a moderate performance level with good SEO and basic accessibility features. Security is well addressed with HTTPS enforcement and multiple security headers, though there is room for improvement in accessibility and incident response visibility. The security posture is solid, with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is strong, featuring comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, direct contact information for security or incident response is not prominently available, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found. Overall, CV-Online presents a trustworthy and mature digital presence with a high legitimacy score despite the lack of WHOIS data due to query limits. Strategic recommendations include enhancing accessibility, publishing a dedicated security policy, and improving transparency around incident response and vulnerability 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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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 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';…

  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

CV-Online operates as a major recruitment platform in the Baltic states, leveraging its membership in Alma Career to maintain a competitive advantage through regional partnerships and a broad employer network. Its business model centers on providing job listings, CV services, and recruitment solutions to both job seekers and employers. The company targets a wide audience including professionals across various sectors, with a focus on Latvia but also covering Lithuania and Estonia. The platform's longevity since 1996 and its association with Alma Career indicate stable revenue streams and market presence. The website's integration with multiple social media and marketing tools supports active user engagement and growth. The absence of direct contact details on the homepage suggests a focus on digital self-service and automated processes.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive information. The use of modern frameworks and controlled third-party scripts reduces the attack surface. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are well implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of a publicly accessible security policy or incident response contact points limits transparency and may hinder rapid response to security incidents. No known vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the provided content. The security score is high but could be improved by adding explicit security governance documentation and vulnerability disclosure channels.

Recommendations

  1. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards and improve inclusivity.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Add clear contact channels for security incidents, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React and Next.js frameworks, indicating a modern and scalable front-end architecture. It employs Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing integrations, along with Hotjar for user behavior analysis and Facebook Pixel for advertising tracking. Intercom is used for customer support and engagement. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses multiple favicon sizes for device compatibility. Performance appears moderate, with deferred loading of scripts and prefetching of resources. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS solution. Hosting provider details were not available from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience with room for performance optimization.
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.
