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

DevITjobs.nl operates as a specialized online job portal focusing on IT and software development vacancies within the Netherlands. The platform provides job listings, salary insights, company transparency, and community resources tailored to IT professionals and employers. Its market position is that of a niche player catering specifically to the Dutch IT job market, with extensions into other European countries through partner sites. The business model centers on connecting IT talent with employers via an accessible and modern web platform. Technically, the website leverages modern frontend technologies such as React and Leaflet for interactive maps, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly experience. The site is moderately performant and optimized for mobile devices, with good SEO practices evident through meta tags and structured content. However, accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. From a security perspective, the site employs HTTPS and has mechanisms for error reporting but lacks explicit security headers and DNSSEC. There is no visible privacy or cookie policy, nor incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, indicating room for improvement in compliance and transparency. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the domain registration is consistent and transparent. Overall, DevITjobs.nl presents a professional and trustworthy platform for IT job seekers and employers in the Netherlands, though it would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices to strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

3 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 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 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. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

DevITjobs.nl holds a focused market niche as an IT job portal in the Netherlands, targeting software developers and IT professionals. Its competitive advantage lies in specialized content, salary statistics, and transparent company profiles. The business model is primarily based on job listings and recruitment services, with potential revenue streams from employers posting jobs and advertising. The platform's partnership ecosystem includes related country-specific job portals, enhancing its reach. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and a modern web presence. Strategic observations suggest expanding privacy and security compliance and enhancing contact transparency to improve market trust and regulatory alignment.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and basic error reporting mechanisms. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. The absence of DNSSEC reduces domain-level security. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Compliance gaps exist due to missing privacy and cookie policies, impacting GDPR adherence. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but requires enhancements to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance web security.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and readiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React, providing a modern and dynamic user interface. It integrates Leaflet for interactive map visualizations, enhancing user engagement with job location data. The site uses CSS and HTML5 with responsive design principles, ensuring good mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with preloading and preconnect hints for static resources. SEO is supported by canonical links, meta descriptions, and Open Graph tags, although some meta tags lack content. No CMS or backend platform was explicitly identified. Hosting details are limited to the registrar information, with no clear hosting provider detected. The technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security configurations.
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.
