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

The website www.monsterboard.nl serves as a landing page promoting a partnership between Monsterboard.nl and LiveCareer.nl to offer a CV-making tool for job seekers in the Netherlands. The site provides clear calls to action directing users to LiveCareer.nl for creating or improving CVs, targeting individuals seeking employment or career changes. The business model is focused on providing online CV-building services through this partnership, positioning itself as a helpful resource in the job search market. The content is professionally presented in Dutch, with consistent branding and good user experience, though it lacks direct contact or policy information on this page. Technically, the site uses modern HTML5 and CSS3 standards, SVG graphics, and Google Fonts for styling. The page is mobile-optimized with good navigation clarity but lacks advanced frameworks or CMS indications. Performance is moderate, with no detected analytics or tracking scripts, indicating minimal user tracking. However, there is no evidence of security headers or SSL configuration details in the provided data, which is a concern. From a security perspective, the site currently lacks visible security best practices such as HTTPS enforcement, security headers, privacy policies, or incident response contacts. No forms are present, reducing immediate input risks, but the absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR requirements. No vulnerabilities or suspicious domains were detected, but the security posture is weak due to missing fundamental protections. Overall, the website is functional and professional for its purpose but requires significant improvements in security and privacy compliance to enhance trustworthiness and protect user data. Strategic recommendations include implementing HTTPS, adding privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, publishing security and incident response information, and conducting regular security audits to ensure compliance and resilience.

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

10 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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 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

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

Monsterboard.nl operates in the online job search and career services sector, leveraging a partnership with LiveCareer.nl to provide CV creation tools. This partnership model allows Monsterboard to focus on job listings while outsourcing CV-building to a specialized service. The target market is Dutch-speaking job seekers, including first-time applicants, career changers, and those re-entering the workforce. The business benefits from brand recognition of Monsterboard and the specialized CV expertise of LiveCareer. Revenue streams likely include job listing fees and possibly affiliate or referral arrangements with LiveCareer. The partnership ecosystem is clear and focused, but the site lacks direct contact or detailed company information, which could be improved to strengthen business credibility and customer trust.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is minimal. There is no evidence of HTTPS enforcement or security headers in the provided data, which are critical for protecting user data and preventing common web attacks. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates a compliance gap with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting the ability to report or respond to security incidents. While no forms or user input fields reduce immediate attack surfaces, the lack of security best practices and transparency poses risks to user trust and regulatory compliance. The site should prioritize implementing HTTPS, security headers, and clear privacy and security policies to improve its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a strong SSL/TLS configuration to secure all communications.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with a user consent mechanism to comply with GDPR.
  3. Publish a security policy and provide incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. Incorporate security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses standard HTML5 and CSS3 with SVG graphics and Google Fonts for typography, indicating a modern but basic front-end technology stack. There is no evidence of JavaScript frameworks, CMS platforms, or analytics tools in the provided HTML content. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and design quality but lacks advanced technical features or performance optimizations. Hosting provider and backend technologies are not identifiable from the data. The absence of security headers and SSL details suggests technical debt in security implementation. Opportunities exist to modernize the stack with enhanced security, analytics, and performance monitoring tools to improve operational resilience and user experience.
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.
