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

8 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. 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"

    • 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';…

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

The website positions itself as a niche vocational training search portal targeting young people seeking apprenticeships in Germany. Its business model revolves around providing a centralized search experience linked with partner portals and regional chambers of commerce (IHK). The presence of multiple regional IHK logos and the Bundesagentur für Arbeit suggests strong institutional partnerships, which likely support the platform's credibility and user acquisition. The platform's focus on career guidance tools like the BerufePilot indicates an emphasis on user engagement and service differentiation. The absence of direct monetization elements such as ads or affiliate links suggests a service-oriented or publicly funded model. Growth potential lies in expanding partnerships and enhancing digital marketing. The platform currently serves a small to medium-sized audience with a clear educational sector focus.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options were detected, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. The forms present do not show obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data in the HTML. No incident response or security policy information is published, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism is a compliance gap under GDPR. No known vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided scripts. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing security headers, publishing security policies, and adding cookie consent.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO metadata to improve user experience and search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, Leaflet for interactive maps, Select2 for enhanced select inputs, and Slick Carousel for partner logos. The use of AOS provides smooth animations enhancing user experience. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets from its own domain, indicating self-hosted resources. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading but could benefit from optimization. Mobile optimization is good due to Bootstrap usage. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. No analytics or tracking scripts were found, indicating minimal user tracking. The site lacks structured data (JSON-LD or Open Graph), which could be added to improve SEO and social sharing previews.
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.
