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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 company operates in the media sector, focusing on employment services via an online job board. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive cooperation with over 21 newspaper publishers and more than 150 newspaper editions, providing a unique regional reach. The business model centers on paid job postings and advertising services for employers, targeting job seekers and employers in Germany. With over 10,000 customers and more than 11 years in operation, localjob.de has a stable market position. The partnership ecosystem includes numerous regional newspapers, enhancing its credibility and reach.

Security posture

localjob.de demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and privacy compliance measures such as cookie consent and detailed privacy policies. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy, incident response contact, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of Matomo analytics suggests a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and explicitly 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 provide clear incident response contact channels to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.
  5. Enhance contact information availability by providing verified company emails and phone numbers for support and sales.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks, primarily React and Next.js, which support server-side rendering and fast client-side interactions. The use of Azure CDN for media assets ensures low latency and high availability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Analytics are handled via Matomo and Google Tag Manager, balancing tracking needs with privacy compliance. No major technical debts or performance bottlenecks were observed.
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.
