0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Marketing Jobs is a UK-focused online job board specializing in marketing sector roles, powered by CV-Library Ltd. The platform offers job search, alerts, CV registration, and recruiter services, targeting marketing professionals and recruiters. The website is professionally designed with good mobile optimization and accessibility, providing a user-friendly experience. Technically, it employs modern JavaScript libraries, Google Analytics, Bing UET, and clickstream analytics, with cookie consent mechanisms in place. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced, but lacks some security headers and explicit security policies. WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to domain naming rules, indicating the domain is likely a subdomain or alias, which slightly impacts trust but does not detract from the site's legitimacy given its association with CV-Library Ltd.

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

5 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 business operates as a niche job board within the recruitment sector, focusing on marketing roles in the UK. It leverages the established CV-Library platform to provide job seekers and recruiters with specialized services. The business model centers on advertising job vacancies, CV database access for recruiters, and job alert subscriptions. Market positioning is strong within its niche, supported by a reputable parent company. The platform uses multiple analytics and marketing tools to optimize user engagement and advertising effectiveness. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are visible, but a contact form is available. The company maintains privacy and cookie policies compliant with GDPR.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to enhance protection against common web attacks. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no security.txt file is found for vulnerability disclosure. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is noted but is explained by the domain being a subdomain or alias. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be improved with additional headers and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Create and host a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance WHOIS domain registration information if possible or clarify domain ownership to improve trust signals.
  5. Continue maintaining GDPR compliance and cookie consent mechanisms with clear user options.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front end with jQuery and asynchronous loading of scripts. It integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Bing UET, and a proprietary clickstream analytics service via AWS API Gateway. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and preloading of fonts and scripts. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. SEO is supported with meta tags, canonical links, and structured data (JSON-LD) for site search. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing due to domain naming rules, indicating the domain is a subdomain or alias rather than a standalone registered domain.
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.
