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

Dezeen Jobs operates as a specialized online job board focusing on architecture, interiors, and design recruitment. It holds a strong market position as a vibrant and popular platform within its niche, offering job listings, company profiles, career guides, and newsletters to professionals and recruiters in the design and architecture sectors. The website demonstrates a mature digital presence with integrations of modern technologies such as WordPress CMS, WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities, Algolia for search, and analytics tools including Google Analytics, Hotjar, and New Relic Browser for performance monitoring and user behavior insights. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and use of Google reCAPTCHA, although explicit security headers are not confirmed. The absence of WHOIS registration data introduces some uncertainty regarding domain legitimacy, but the overall professional presentation and operational maturity suggest a legitimate business. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security header implementation and verifying domain registration details to improve trustworthiness.

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

4 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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 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

Dezeen Jobs leverages a niche market in architecture and design recruitment, targeting professionals and companies seeking specialized talent. Its business model centers on providing a comprehensive job board with additional services such as company profiles and career resources, likely generating revenue through job postings and advertising. The platform's integration with WooCommerce suggests transactional capabilities, possibly for paid job listings or subscriptions. The company maintains active social media channels, enhancing brand visibility and engagement. While the domain's WHOIS data is missing, the website's content quality, SEO optimization, and technical infrastructure indicate a well-established operation with a medium-sized business footprint primarily serving the UK and international design communities.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enabled and the use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. The presence of multiple analytics and tracking scripts is managed responsibly with cookie consent mechanisms in place, indicating GDPR compliance. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security in the analyzed data suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain trust but does not directly impact the website's technical security. Overall, the site maintains good security hygiene but should enhance header configurations and conduct regular security audits.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve domain legitimacy and trust signals.
  3. Conduct periodic security assessments and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance privacy policy disclosures with clear data retention and processing details to bolster GDPR compliance.
  5. Maintain up-to-date software and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with WooCommerce integration, indicating a flexible and scalable platform for content and e-commerce functionalities. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and services such as Algolia for search, Google Tag Manager for tag management, and Hotjar for user behavior analytics. The site employs lazy loading for images and uses jQuery and other UI enhancement plugins like Select2 and Chosen for improved user experience. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The technical stack is mature and well-integrated, supporting the business needs effectively while offering opportunities for further optimization and security enhancements.
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.
