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

8 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

Maximus Korea holds a strong market position as a government partner and global HR service provider. Its business model revolves around government-commissioned projects and specialized HR consulting. The company targets a broad audience from youth job seekers to senior employees and military personnel. The website reflects a professional brand with consistent messaging and multiple international partner domains, indicating a well-established partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include active government projects and diversified service offerings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and some security best practices. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version and lack of comprehensive security headers such as CSP and X-Frame-Options present potential vulnerabilities. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are visible, and privacy compliance is minimal. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies indicates compliance gaps that should be addressed to meet GDPR and other regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade jQuery and other legacy JavaScript libraries to latest stable versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy and other security headers (X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy).
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve compliance and user trust.
  4. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Configure Google Analytics properly or remove unused tracking plugins to reduce unnecessary data collection.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and several plugins including MangBoard, PowerPack Elements, and SearchWP. It employs Bootstrap 3 for responsive design and integrates YouTube videos for marketing. Hosting and DNS are managed by Gabia, a reputable Korean provider. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is well addressed with canonical tags, Open Graph metadata, and structured JSON-LD data. Technical debt is indicated by legacy jQuery usage and incomplete security headers.
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.
