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 with a large organizational size, focusing on employment-related services. Its business model revolves around providing a platform for job seekers and employers to connect, leveraging user-generated content such as company reviews and salary data. The platform benefits from a broad partnership ecosystem including social media and analytics providers. Growth indicators include extensive content and global reach. Strategic observations suggest maintaining strong brand consistency and enhancing privacy and security transparency to sustain competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of explicit security headers and incident response contact information indicates room for improvement. There is no evidence of vulnerabilities or compliance gaps in the analyzed content, but the lack of privacy and cookie policies may pose compliance risks under GDPR and similar regulations. The security culture appears professional but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies clearly accessible on the website.
  2. Add and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish clear contact information including security incident response and data protection officer contacts.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking services for security and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide detailed user guidance for privacy and security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React framework with Webpack bundling and employs external libraries such as DotLottie for animations and Google Tag Manager for analytics. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The technical infrastructure appears robust but lacks explicit CMS identification and hosting provider details. There is potential technical debt in missing security headers and incomplete privacy implementations. Modernization opportunities include adopting stricter security configurations and improving transparency in data handling.
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.
