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. 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
    • 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

Glassdoor operates in the technology sector as an essential entity providing online job search and employer review services. Its business model revolves around connecting job seekers with employers through a platform offering job listings, company reviews, and salary data. The company benefits from a strong brand and extensive user base, leveraging partnerships with analytics and marketing service providers. Growth indicators include extensive global reach and a comprehensive service offering. The platform's ecosystem supports both individual users and employers, with dedicated employer services such as enhanced profiles and sales contacts. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining privacy compliance and enhancing security transparency to sustain user trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers configured to protect user data and prevent common web vulnerabilities. The use of asynchronous and deferred script loading improves performance without compromising security. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive information were detected. The platform employs modern analytics and tracking tools, which necessitates robust privacy controls. Overall, the security maturity is high but could be enhanced by publishing comprehensive security and privacy documentation and implementing a security.txt file for vulnerability reporting.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear and comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add explicit security policy and incident response information including dedicated contact channels.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to further mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  5. Review and document data retention policies and ensure GDPR compliance transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React framework with integration of advanced analytics and marketing tools such as RudderStack, Google Tag Manager, and Amplitude. The infrastructure supports asynchronous script loading and font preloading for performance optimization. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata and structured data markup (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details were not available in the provided data. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to improve load times by optimizing third-party scripts. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on multiple external domains for analytics and marketing, which should be monitored for privacy compliance.
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.
