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. 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';…
  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

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 platform is positioned as a government-backed resource, leveraging AMS's authority in the Austrian labor market. Its business model is non-commercial, focusing on public service by providing free access to career-related images. The target audience includes job seekers, educators, and career counselors. The site integrates with related career services such as karrierekompass.at, indicating a partnership ecosystem aimed at comprehensive career support. The lack of direct contact information suggests a centralized support model through AMS. The platform's growth potential lies in expanding image collections and enhancing search capabilities. Its competitive advantage is the official backing and free access to high-quality, relevant images.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a privacy-respecting analytics setup. The presence of a cookie consent banner aligns with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of security headers and a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from implementing security headers and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance trust and readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with formalized policies and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP 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 page including incident response procedures and contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance contact information availability, including official support emails or phone numbers, to improve user support and credibility.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and stable technology stack including Bootstrap 4.6.2 for responsive design, jQuery 3.6.1 for DOM manipulation, FontAwesome for icons, and Flickity for carousel functionality. Analytics are handled by Matomo, a privacy-focused tool, integrated with a cookie consent mechanism. The site loads external resources from trusted CDNs and the hosting provider braintrust.at. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility features such as skip links and keyboard navigation are implemented, indicating good compliance with accessibility standards. SEO is supported by appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with opportunities for performance tuning and enhanced security headers.
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.
