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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 a niche online recruitment platform targeting facilities management professionals in the UK. Its business model centers on providing job listings and recruitment services, supported by a recruiter directory and career advice content. The platform leverages partnerships with related industry news sites and recruitment service providers. The domain age and registration details align with the company's recent founding in 2022. The presence of clear contact details and company registration number supports legitimacy. The site’s marketing includes affiliate links and standard ad networks, indicating monetization through recruitment advertising and possibly affiliate services. The company appears to be a small-sized enterprise with focused market positioning and consistent branding.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses domain status flags to prevent unauthorized domain transfers or updates, which are positive security indicators. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS queries to spoofing attacks. No advanced security policies or incident response contacts are publicly disclosed. The site uses common third-party scripts for analytics and marketing, which should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting privacy compliance. The absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with additional controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize vulnerability exposure.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET WebForms, indicating a traditional Microsoft web technology stack. It uses jQuery and Font Awesome for UI components and Google Fonts for typography. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics and Bing UET, with cookie consent mechanisms in place. The site is hosted under a Tucows-registered domain with DNS hosted on livedns.co.uk. Performance is moderate with responsive design and mobile optimization evident. The CMS appears custom or proprietary, with no common CMS detected. The site uses standard SEO meta tags and Open Graph tags for social sharing. Some technical debt is implied by the use of older ASP.NET WebForms technology, but the site remains functional and professional. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack and improve security headers and accessibility.
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.
