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

株式会社働きがいのある会社研究所 operates the website hatarakigai.info, serving as the Japanese branch of the global Great Place To Work® Institute. The organization specializes in conducting employee engagement surveys, certifying companies as 'Great Place To Work', and publishing rankings to promote workplace excellence. Their services include research, certification, rankings, and training aimed at improving workplace culture and employee satisfaction. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and rich in relevant content targeting Japanese companies and HR professionals seeking to enhance workplace engagement and employer branding. Technically, the website employs a modern analytics and tracking stack including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, and Bing Ads, alongside jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components. The site is served over HTTPS with no visible security vulnerabilities in the HTML content. However, security headers are not explicitly detected, and no dedicated security or incident response policies are published, indicating room for improvement in security transparency. From a security and compliance perspective, the site has a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism, indicating GDPR awareness. Contact information is clearly provided, including phone numbers, physical address, and contact forms. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to TLD restrictions, limiting domain registration trust verification. Despite this, the website's professional presentation and consistent branding support its legitimacy. Overall, the website scores well on content quality, technical implementation, and business credibility, with moderate security posture and privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response policies, and improving domain registration transparency to strengthen trust and security posture.

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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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 holds a strong market position as the recognized authority for workplace engagement certification in Japan, affiliated with the global Great Place To Work® network. Their business model revolves around providing research-based certification and rankings that help companies attract talent and improve employee satisfaction. Revenue streams likely include survey services, certification fees, training programs, and related consulting. The target customers are medium to large enterprises in Japan focused on employer branding and workplace culture. The website showcases client logos and case studies, indicating a solid partnership ecosystem and active market presence. The company was founded in 2009 and operates primarily in the Japanese market, with a focus on HR and organizational development sectors.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security robustness. No dedicated security policy or incident response information is published, which could impact user trust and incident handling readiness. The extensive use of third-party tracking and marketing scripts increases the attack surface and privacy considerations. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the business type but could be improved by adopting best practices in security headers and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Review and minimize third-party tracking scripts to reduce privacy risks and improve site performance.
  5. Investigate domain registration options to improve WHOIS transparency or provide additional trust signals to compensate for TLD limitations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and diverse technology stack with multiple analytics and marketing tools integrated, including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, Bing Ads, and Shanon CAM. The front-end employs jQuery and Slick Carousel for interactive UI elements. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, likely impacted by multiple external scripts. No CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified. The HTML is well-structured with proper meta tags and JSON-LD structured data for SEO and rich snippets. There is an opportunity to improve technical security by adding security headers and reducing third-party dependencies to optimize performance and security.
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.
