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 occupies a strong niche in the German regional job market, differentiating itself through deep integration with local media partners and a wide network of newspaper publishers. Its business model centers on monetizing job postings and advertising services, targeting both job seekers and employers with a focus on regional relevance. The platform's partnerships with numerous media outlets enhance its market position and credibility. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for managed contact via forms and regional representatives, aligning with a personalized service approach. The company has sustained over a decade of operation, indicating stable growth and market acceptance. Its marketing strategy includes retargeting and social media advertising, supporting customer acquisition and retention.

Security posture

localjob.de demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and the presence of security headers inferred. The use of a consent management platform aligns with GDPR compliance requirements. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates areas for improvement in transparency and security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The site uses secure form practices and modern frameworks, reducing common web security risks. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced documentation and incident readiness disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  3. Implement and publicly disclose a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, ensuring server-side rendering and good performance. Hosting on Microsoft Azure CDN provides scalability and fast content delivery. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility practices. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Analytics are handled via Matomo, a privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytics, complemented by Google Tag Manager for marketing flexibility. Consent management is implemented to comply with GDPR. The technical infrastructure is robust, with no critical technical debt or performance issues detected. Opportunities exist to further improve accessibility and security documentation.
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.
