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

The website cvok.ee is an established Estonian job portal operated by Zone Media OÜ since 2010. It offers job postings, CV database services, and recruitment-related offerings targeting job seekers and employers in Estonia. The platform includes additional services such as accounting and CV expert advice, positioning itself as a comprehensive employment resource in the local market. The site content is primarily in English with options for Estonian and Russian, catering to a diverse audience. Technically, the site uses legacy HTML and JavaScript technologies, including an outdated jQuery version, and integrates Google Analytics for traffic monitoring. The design and user experience are basic, with limited mobile optimization and accessibility features. Security posture is moderate; HTTPS is implied but no advanced security headers or cookie consent mechanisms are present. The WHOIS data confirms a consistent and legitimate domain registration with no privacy protection, enhancing trust. Overall, the site is functional but would benefit from modernization and improved security and privacy 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

12 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  4. 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"

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

cvok.ee operates as a niche job portal focused on the Estonian labor market, serving both job seekers and employers. Its business model revolves around providing job posting services, CV database access, and recruitment support, supplemented by ancillary services like accounting. The domain's longevity and consistent registration with Zone Media OÜ indicate stable operations. The site leverages partnerships and advertising to generate revenue, though no explicit affiliate or ad network integrations are detected. The target market includes local job seekers and companies, with content in multiple languages to broaden reach. Growth potential exists through technical modernization and enhanced service offerings. The partnership ecosystem includes related service domains such as accounting.cvok.ee and advertising partners. Strategic observations suggest the need for improved digital maturity and compliance to maintain competitiveness.

Security posture

The security posture of cvok.ee is moderate but shows areas of concern. The site uses HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communications, but lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options that mitigate common web attacks. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.3.2) introduces potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited. No cookie consent or privacy compliance mechanisms are evident, which may expose the site to GDPR compliance risks. There is no published security policy or incident response contact information, limiting transparency and readiness for security incidents. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are immediately apparent, the site would benefit from upgrading libraries, implementing security headers, and establishing clear privacy and security policies to enhance its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and explicit privacy policy updates to ensure GDPR compliance.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Modernize website design and improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility to enhance user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using legacy HTML 4.01 Transitional and JavaScript, including an outdated jQuery 1.3.2 library, which is a significant technical debt and security risk. Google Analytics is integrated for traffic analysis. The site appears to be custom-built without a modern CMS or framework. Hosting and domain registration are managed by Zone Media OÜ, a local Estonian provider. Performance is moderate but could be improved with modern front-end technologies and optimization. The site lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features, limiting reach and usability. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but outdated, requiring modernization to reduce risks and improve performance.
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.
