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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Business context
Business profile
The AMS Gehaltskompass serves as a key public service tool in Austria's labor market ecosystem, providing transparent salary data to support informed career decisions. Its market position is strong as an official government source, leveraging partnerships with related AMS services and career information platforms. The business model is non-commercial, focused on public information dissemination and career support. The platform integrates multiple related services and resources, enhancing user engagement and value. Growth potential lies in expanding data granularity and interactive tools. The partnership ecosystem includes AMS main site, career videos, and educational portals, reinforcing its authoritative presence in the Austrian employment sector.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent compliant with GDPR, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of Matomo analytics is privacy-conscious with anonymized tracking. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies represent areas for improvement. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the site is secure for its informational purpose but could benefit from formalized security documentation and enhanced HTTP header configurations.
Recommendations
Implement and publish security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
Regularly update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
Enhance monitoring and logging capabilities to detect and respond to potential security incidents promptly.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a solid technical foundation using widely adopted libraries and frameworks such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and DataTables, ensuring responsive and interactive user experience. Hosting via braintrust.at CDN supports performance and availability. The site includes accessibility features like skip links and ARIA attributes, aligning with best practices. Performance is moderate, with deferred and async script loading optimizing load times. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or framework-based implementation. Opportunities exist to modernize by adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and enhancing security headers.
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.
