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

Indeed.com is a globally recognized job search platform founded in 1998, offering services such as job listings, company reviews, salary information, resume uploads, and employer job postings. It targets job seekers and employers, operating as a leading online recruitment platform primarily in the United States. The website is enterprise-scale with a mature market position. Currently, the website content is inaccessible due to a Cloudflare security challenge page requiring additional verification, which prevents a full content and technical analysis. The site uses Cloudflare for security and hosting, and includes Cloudflare Pages Analytics for performance monitoring. No privacy or cookie policies, contact information, or security policies are visible on the blocked page.

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

8 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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

Indeed holds a strong market position as a leading job search engine with a broad user base of job seekers and employers. Its business model revolves around providing free job search services to users while monetizing through employer job postings and recruitment solutions. The domain age and WHOIS data confirm a long-standing and legitimate presence. The platform's ecosystem includes company reviews and salary data, enhancing user engagement and value. Partnerships and subsidiaries were not identified in the provided data. The blocking of content limits visibility into detailed business intelligence such as revenue streams or growth indicators.

Security posture

The website is protected by Cloudflare, which provides DDoS mitigation and security challenge mechanisms. The presence of a Cloudflare Turnstile captcha indicates active bot mitigation and security controls. However, due to the content being blocked behind a security challenge, no direct security headers or SSL configuration details could be verified. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the accessible content. The security posture appears robust but cannot be fully assessed without access to the main content. Incident response and security policy information are not visible.

Recommendations

  1. Provide access to the main website content to enable comprehensive security and compliance assessments.
  2. Ensure privacy and cookie policies are clearly accessible and linked on all pages, including security challenge pages.
  3. Publish security policies and incident response contacts to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Maintain and regularly update SSL/TLS configurations to ensure excellent encryption standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Cloudflare as a hosting and security provider, leveraging JavaScript, CSS, and HTML5 technologies. The presence of Cloudflare Pages Analytics indicates modern performance monitoring tools. The site is mobile responsive and uses a custom font stack. However, the current Cloudflare security challenge page prevents assessment of actual page load performance, SEO optimization, accessibility, and CMS usage. The domain is well-established with a consistent registration history. Technical debt or modernization opportunities cannot be evaluated due to blocked content.
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.
