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.

  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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

AMS karrierevideos.at holds a strong market position as a government-backed career information portal, leveraging multimedia content to engage users. Its business model focuses on public service rather than commercial revenue, providing free access to career videos and related resources. The portal integrates with partner sites like karrierekompass.at and WKO for complementary services. The absence of direct contact details suggests a centralized support model via AMS. The platform's growth potential lies in expanding video content and enhancing interactive career guidance tools. Its partnership ecosystem with AMS and WKO strengthens its credibility and reach within Austria's labor market services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, cookie consent compliant with GDPR, and use of anonymized analytics via Matomo. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and lack of published security or incident response policies represent areas for improvement. The JWPlayer video playback error is a functional issue but does not pose a security risk. Overall, the site aligns with good security practices expected of a government service portal but could enhance transparency and technical defenses further.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries such as JWPlayer and jQuery to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance contact information availability for user support and security reporting.
  5. Continue monitoring and optimizing video delivery to resolve playback errors and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern and stable technical infrastructure using Bootstrap 5 for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and JWPlayer for video playback. Hosting and CDN services are provided by braintrust.at, ensuring reliable content delivery. The site includes accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels, and SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization, particularly in video streaming reliability. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Overall, the technical implementation supports the site's functional and accessibility goals effectively.
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.
