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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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 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';…

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

  4. 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 LW Medien GmbH operates Jobs-regional.de as a medium-sized business focused on the German regional employment sector. The portal's competitive advantage lies in its regional focus and comprehensive Ausbildungsguide, which differentiates it from broader job boards. Revenue likely derives from employer job postings and advertising. The target customers are local job seekers and employers. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed, and no subsidiaries or related domains were identified. The website content and structure indicate a mature digital presence with consistent branding and good user experience.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism in place. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The use of Google Analytics is compliant with consent requirements. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved by implementing recommended headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting by security researchers.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Consider adding a terms of service page to clarify user and business obligations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely supported technology stack including jQuery 3.6.0, jQuery UI, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and Slick Carousel for UI components and interactivity. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are used for tracking and analytics with consent. The site is mobile optimized and uses lazy loading for images to improve performance. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Performance is moderate with room for improvement. The site lacks some advanced accessibility features but maintains basic compliance. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with opportunities for security and performance enhancements.
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.
