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

1 finding 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

LiveCareer operates in the technology sector, specifically in online career services. Its business model revolves around SaaS offerings for CV creation and career advice, targeting individual job seekers. The platform leverages partnerships and brand trust by showcasing logos of major companies where users have found employment. Revenue streams likely include subscription or pay-per-download models for CVs and related services. The company maintains a consistent brand image and professional content, supporting a strong market position in the Dutch career services niche. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a focus on digital self-service and support via web forms. The use of Google Tag Manager indicates active marketing and user behavior tracking to optimize service delivery.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security present. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. There is no security.txt file or explicit vulnerability disclosure program. Overall, the site is secure for end users but could improve by formalizing security policies and incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and user data protection.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user privacy controls.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating third-party libraries and tracking tools to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and performant technical stack with asynchronous JavaScript loading, SVG icons, and web fonts optimized for performance. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing, indicating integration with common digital marketing ecosystems. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with semantic HTML and ARIA roles implied by the structure. SEO is enhanced by comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data for FAQs. No CMS or hosting provider details were explicitly detected. The site demonstrates good technical hygiene with no broken elements or errors visible in the HTML snapshot.
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.
