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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • High

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 · found on this site
  • 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 platform operates as a niche job board serving the Swiss media and communication market, providing targeted job listings and employer services. Its business model revolves around paid job postings, job subscription services, and online CV hosting. The site integrates with partner platforms such as ictjobs.ch, indicating a broader network within the Swiss job market ecosystem. The presence of multiple employer logos and detailed job postings suggests active engagement with the industry. The platform's focus on specialized sectors and regional targeting (Switzerland) provides competitive advantages in market positioning. Growth potential lies in expanding digital marketing efforts and enhancing user engagement features. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear policies and contact points, supporting credibility and customer trust.

Security posture

medienjobs.ch demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. The site avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML and uses nonce and CSRF tokens in forms to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. However, there is no explicit security policy or incident response information publicly available, which could be improved. The use of third-party analytics and advertising scripts is standard but requires ongoing monitoring to prevent supply chain risks. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found during analysis. Overall, the site aligns well with best practices for web security in its category but could enhance transparency around security governance and incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities.
  4. Improve accessibility compliance to enhance usability for all users.
  5. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including PHP, jQuery, Owl Carousel, Font Awesome, and Google Fonts. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Matomo for analytics and tracking. The site uses structured data (JSON-LD) extensively for job postings, enhancing SEO and discoverability. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and lazy loading of images. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The site uses standard security headers and HTTPS, indicating a secure hosting environment. Technical debt appears low, but continuous updates and monitoring are recommended to maintain security and performance.
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.
