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

CV-Online is a leading online job portal serving the Baltic states, primarily Latvia. The platform offers job listings, CV databases, and recruitment services targeting job seekers and employers. It holds a strong market position with multiple employer partnerships and a professional online presence. The website employs modern web technologies such as React and Next.js, integrated with analytics and marketing tools like Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Facebook Pixel, and Intercom, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacking explicit security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is basic with cookie consent mechanisms present but no visible privacy or terms of service pages. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences, but could improve transparency and security practices.

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

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 an essential business entity in the online recruitment sector within the Baltic region. Its business model centers on providing job search and recruitment services, generating revenue likely through employer subscriptions and advertising. The platform targets job seekers and employers, offering categorized job listings and alerts. The company demonstrates strong branding consistency and trust signals such as social media presence and partnerships with prominent employers. The lack of explicit company registration or VAT information in the HTML limits deeper business verification. The site’s technical maturity and market positioning suggest a stable and competitive operation in its niche.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is in use, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which may hinder rapid mitigation of security issues. The site uses third-party tracking and marketing scripts, which require careful management to avoid privacy risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly enhanced by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and establishing clear incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve transparency and compliance.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  3. Establish and publicize incident response and vulnerability disclosure procedures to enhance security readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Review and optimize third-party tracking scripts to ensure privacy compliance and minimize user tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks React and Next.js, indicating a contemporary and scalable architecture. Integration with analytics and marketing tools like Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Facebook Pixel, and Intercom suggests a focus on user behavior analysis and engagement. The site appears mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. Performance is moderate, with deferred loading of scripts and preloading of CSS assets. However, the absence of detected CMS or hosting provider details limits full infrastructure assessment. There is room for improvement in accessibility and SEO optimization, although meta tags and structured data are partially present. Overall, the technical implementation supports a robust user experience but could benefit from enhanced security and compliance features.
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.
