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

Pracuj.pl is a leading Polish online job portal operated by Grupa Pracuj S.A., offering a comprehensive platform for job seekers and employers. It provides extensive job listings across multiple sectors including IT, engineering, sales, finance, and more, complemented by career advice, CV creation tools, and salary calculators. The platform targets professionals and managers in Poland and abroad, positioning itself as a market leader in the Polish recruitment industry. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies such as React.js and Next.js, supported by Cloudflare CDN and DNS services, and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Bing UET. Despite a rich feature set and good privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, the site suffers from a critical security issue due to an invalid or missing SSL certificate, impacting secure HTTPS access. Security best practices like HSTS, SPF, and DMARC are implemented, but enhancements such as OCSP stapling, session resumption, DNSSEC, and CAA records are recommended. Overall, the website demonstrates strong digital maturity and market presence but requires urgent remediation of SSL issues to maintain trust and security.

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

6 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

    • 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

      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. 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 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

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

Grupa Pracuj S.A. operates Pracuj.pl as a core recruitment platform in Poland, serving a large user base of job seekers and employers. The business model centers on online job listings, employer branding, and value-added career services. The company maintains a broad partnership ecosystem including recruitment software providers and industry content platforms. Market positioning is strong with a large volume of job offers and diverse sector coverage. The platform supports multiple languages and regions, with a focus on Poland. Revenue streams likely include job posting fees, premium employer services, and advertising. The presence of mobile applications and advanced search and alert features indicate investment in user engagement and retention. Strategic partnerships and a comprehensive content offering enhance competitive advantage. Growth indicators include extensive job offer counts and active user features. The company maintains transparency with detailed privacy and cookie policies and GDPR compliance.

Security posture

The security posture of Pracuj.pl shows a moderate level of maturity. The domain has valid SPF and DMARC records with a quarantine policy, reducing email spoofing risks. HSTS is enabled with includeSubDomains and preload flags, enforcing HTTPS usage. However, the SSL certificate is currently invalid or missing, which is a critical vulnerability that undermines secure communications and user trust. The absence of OCSP stapling and session resumption mechanisms may degrade TLS performance and security. DNSSEC is not enabled, leaving DNS queries vulnerable to spoofing or cache poisoning. No explicit security policy or incident response information is publicly available, which may indicate gaps in transparency and readiness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found. Overall, while some best practices are in place, the invalid SSL certificate and lack of DNSSEC represent significant risks. The site should prioritize certificate renewal and consider implementing additional DNS and TLS security enhancements. Incident response contact channels are not disclosed, limiting external reporting capabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Renew and properly configure the SSL/TLS certificate to ensure secure HTTPS connections and restore user trust.
  2. Enable OCSP stapling and TLS session resumption to improve security and performance of encrypted connections.
  3. Implement DNSSEC to protect DNS integrity and prevent spoofing attacks.
  4. Add CAA DNS records to restrict which certificate authorities can issue certificates for the domain.
  5. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and facilitate vulnerability reporting.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React.js and Next.js framework, leveraging server-side rendering and CDN caching via Cloudflare for performance and scalability. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Bing UET, and Google Tag Manager, indicating extensive user tracking and marketing optimization. The site uses a large number of resources (161) and has a large page size (~1.3MB), resulting in a slow load time (~13.7 seconds), which could impact user experience. Mobile optimization and accessibility are good, with responsive images and ARIA roles. No CMS was explicitly detected. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing DDoS protection and CDN services. Technical debt is indicated by the invalid SSL certificate and lack of DNSSEC. Opportunities exist to optimize resource loading and improve TLS configuration. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a large-scale, feature-rich job portal but requires security and performance improvements.
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.
