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

DevITJobs.uk operates as a specialized online job board focusing on IT and software developer roles within the United Kingdom. Established in 2021, the platform distinguishes itself by offering transparent job listings that include detailed tech stacks and salary ranges, catering primarily to IT professionals seeking employment opportunities. The website maintains a consistent brand presence and leverages modern web technologies such as React and JSON-LD structured data to enhance user experience and SEO performance. Social media integration across LinkedIn, Telegram, Facebook, and Twitter supports community engagement and outreach. From a technical perspective, the site demonstrates moderate performance with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The use of HTTPS and DNSSEC indicates a commitment to secure communications, although the absence of explicit security headers and privacy policies suggests room for improvement in security posture and compliance. Analytics are implemented via privacy-focused services like Plausible Analytics, reflecting a moderate approach to user tracking and data collection. Security-wise, the platform benefits from encrypted connections and domain security measures but lacks visible incident response protocols, vulnerability disclosures, and comprehensive privacy or cookie policies. These gaps present potential compliance and trust challenges, particularly under GDPR regulations. The domain registration data aligns well with the business profile, showing transparency and legitimacy without privacy protection, which is appropriate for this business type. Overall, DevITJobs.uk is a credible and professionally presented job board with a solid foundation but would benefit from enhanced privacy, security policies, and compliance documentation 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.uk occupies a niche market segment as a transparent IT job board in the UK, offering detailed salary and technology stack information to attract IT professionals. Its business model revolves around providing job listings, salary statistics, and company transparency to both candidates and employers. The platform's partnerships with sister sites across Europe and the US indicate a strategic ecosystem approach to expand market reach. Revenue streams likely include job posting fees and premium services for companies. The target customer segment is IT developers and companies seeking tech talent. Growth indicators include a sizable job listing count (2637 jobs) and active social media channels. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its transparency and detailed job data, which differentiates it from generic job boards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS and DNSSEC enabled, ensuring secure domain and data transmission. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No evidence of vulnerability disclosure policies or security.txt files was found, indicating limited formalized security communication. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, which may expose compliance gaps under GDPR. No incident response contact information is provided, potentially delaying response to security incidents. The use of privacy-respecting analytics like Plausible is a positive indicator. Overall, while basic security measures are in place, the site should enhance its security framework and compliance documentation to improve resilience and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms.
  2. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve protection against web vulnerabilities.
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information to enable timely communication in case of security events.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern frontend technologies, primarily React, with structured data in JSON-LD format to improve SEO. It integrates interactive maps via Leaflet and uses external static content delivery from domains such as static.devitjobs.uk and static.swissdevjobs.ch. Performance is moderate with preloading and preconnecting optimizations observed. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. However, no CMS or backend platform is explicitly identified. The site lacks some advanced accessibility features and security headers, which could be addressed to reduce technical debt and improve compliance. Hosting details are limited to registrar information, with no explicit hosting provider identified.
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.
