KAARISMA Recruitment GmbH is a specialized recruitment agency based in Berlin, focusing on headhunting and recruiting sales professionals for permanent positions. The company emphasizes harmony between candidates and their work environment, targeting both Fach- und Führungskräfte and companies seeking sales talent. Their market position is that of a niche, specialized recruitment service with a modern and professional online presence. Technically, the website is built on Kirby CMS, hosted on Hetzner infrastructure, and uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a moderate to advanced digital maturity. Security posture is good with HTTPS enabled and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers and explicit incident response policies are not evident.

Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy, and expanding contact information visibility.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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

Business profile

KAARISMA operates in the recruitment sector with a focus on sales roles, serving both candidates and companies. Their business model revolves around specialized headhunting services, leveraging industry knowledge and language to match candidates and employers effectively. The company maintains a strong brand identity and positive trust signals such as high ratings on ProvenExpert. Their partnership with KAARISMA BLUE Recruitment suggests a broader service ecosystem. The website content and structure support clear communication of services and target audience engagement. Growth indicators include active content marketing via a career magazine and a dedicated team page. The company appears to be a small-sized enterprise focused on quality and specialization rather than scale.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of common security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. No incident response or security policy pages were found, which could impact preparedness for security events. The use of Matomo analytics indicates privacy-conscious tracking, aligning with GDPR compliance. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve trust with security researchers.
  4. Expand visible contact information including verified company emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility and user trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced and maintain compliance with privacy regulations.

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with Kirby CMS, custom CSS, and JavaScript. Hosting is provided by Hetzner, a reputable German provider. The site includes responsive design elements and mobile optimization, ensuring good user experience across devices. Matomo analytics is used for privacy-friendly tracking. Performance appears moderate, with no obvious blocking scripts or heavy resources detected in the HTML snippet. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD data describing the business and reviews. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA attributes and semantic HTML enhancements. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively with opportunities for modernization and security hardening.
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.
