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

epunkt GmbH is an established Austrian employment agency specializing in job placement and career coaching services. With a domain age of 22 years and a strong presence in Austria, the company targets job seekers and employers, offering personalized career advice and access to a broad range of job opportunities. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and provides clear navigation and contact information, supporting a positive user experience and trustworthiness. Technically, the site uses nginx as the server and integrates NewRelic for performance monitoring. However, a critical security gap exists due to the absence of a valid SSL/TLS certificate, exposing users to potential risks. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant, with consent mechanisms implemented. Overall, the business is credible and well-positioned in its market, but immediate remediation of security issues is essential.

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

6 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  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 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 company operates as a medium-sized employment agency in Austria, focusing on connecting candidates with employers through personalized coaching and job search support. The business model relies on providing free services to candidates and likely monetizes through employer partnerships. The website reflects a mature brand with consistent messaging and multiple social media channels enhancing its market reach. The domain registration data aligns with the company's claims, reinforcing legitimacy. Marketing tools such as HubSpot and Emarsys are used, indicating a structured approach to customer engagement. No suspicious domains or partners were identified, suggesting a focused and controlled ecosystem.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the lack of HTTPS, no TLS protocols enabled, and no cipher suites configured. While some security headers like HSTS and X-Frame-Options are present, the absence of SSL/TLS is a critical vulnerability that undermines user data protection and trust. No explicit security or incident response policies are published on the site, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. The use of NewRelic indicates monitoring capabilities, but the site must urgently implement SSL/TLS to meet basic security standards and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately install and configure a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and strong cipher suites.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption for improved security and performance.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers and privacy compliance documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on an nginx server with a single IPv4 address and uses Gandi SAS as the registrar. The site employs modern JavaScript and CSS with lazy loading and responsive design, ensuring good mobile optimization. Performance metrics indicate slow loading times, possibly due to missing SSL and resource optimizations. The site uses NewRelic for monitoring and integrates marketing tools like HubSpot and Emarsys. No CMS or major frameworks were detected, suggesting a custom or lightweight implementation. DNSSEC is not enabled, and no CAA records are present, which could be improved for DNS security. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but requires security upgrades and performance tuning.
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.
