It serves a broad audience including job seekers, students, and career changers by offering detailed career guidance, job search tools, educational resources, and labor market data. The site is well-positioned as a trusted government resource with strong branding and extensive partnerships with related career and education platforms.
Technically, the website employs a modern and mature technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, FontAwesome, and Matomo analytics with anonymized tracking. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and performs moderately well. It uses secure HTTPS connections and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements, reflecting a high level of digital maturity.
From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent for analytics. While some security headers are not explicitly detected, no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found.

Overall, the website presents a low risk profile with strong privacy compliance and business credibility. It lacks explicit contact information and security policies publicly visible, which could be improved to enhance transparency and incident response readiness.

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
3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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 X-Frame-Options header
Prevents clickjacking attacks
What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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.

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

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.

Business context
Business profile
AMS Karrierekompass operates as a government service under the Austrian AMS umbrella, focusing on labor market and career information dissemination. Its competitive advantage lies in official backing, comprehensive content, and integration with multiple partner platforms. The business model is non-commercial, aimed at public service and education. The target customers are individuals seeking career guidance and labor market insights in Austria. Growth indicators include continuous content updates and integration of AI tools like the Berufsinfomat chatbot. The partnership ecosystem is robust, linking to various educational and job platforms, enhancing user value and reach.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, anonymized analytics, and cookie consent mechanisms. No critical security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML snippet, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP header configuration. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The absence of explicit security policies or incident response contacts is a gap in transparency. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced security header implementation and clearer security communication.
Recommendations
Implement and verify Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options HTTP headers to strengthen security.
Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
Regularly update all third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
Enhance visibility of contact information for user support and security reporting.
Continue monitoring and improving privacy compliance, especially regarding data retention and user rights.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses a combination of well-established front-end libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome, ensuring compatibility and responsiveness. The use of Matomo analytics with anonymized tracking reflects a privacy-conscious approach. The site is hosted with Austrian providers, likely braintrust.at, ensuring regional compliance and performance. Performance is moderate, with deferred and async script loading improving load times. Accessibility features like skip links and ARIA roles are implemented, enhancing usability. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom-built solution which may require dedicated maintenance resources.
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.
