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

The website prescreen.io redirects or is represented by recruiting.xing.com, a platform operated by XING, a subsidiary of NEW WORK SE. The site offers the onlyfy Bewerbungsmanager, a comprehensive talent acquisition and applicant tracking solution designed for companies seeking to modernize and streamline their recruiting processes. The platform integrates active and passive sourcing, multiposting, social media campaigns, and detailed reporting to support holistic recruiting workflows. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern front-end frameworks like Bootstrap and jQuery, hosted on AWS infrastructure. While the site demonstrates good SEO, structured data usage, and user experience, it suffers from critical security shortcomings, notably the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, which severely impact its security posture. Privacy compliance is well addressed with visible privacy and cookie policies and consent management via Usercentrics. Overall, the site is content-rich and professionally presented but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and maintain trust.

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

4 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 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 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

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

XING, under NEW WORK SE, positions the onlyfy Bewerbungsmanager as a leading recruiting solution in the German-speaking market, targeting businesses aiming to upgrade from traditional or fragmented recruiting tools to an integrated SaaS platform. The business model revolves around subscription-based access to tiered packages (Go, Core, Pro, Ultimate) catering to different recruiting needs. The platform leverages XING's extensive professional network and talent pools, enhancing sourcing capabilities. The company maintains a strong ecosystem with complementary products like XING Stellenanzeigen and TalentManager, supported by a comprehensive knowledge base and training academy. The presence of multiple social media channels and marketing tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. However, the lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests a preference for contact via forms or partner channels.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is currently weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, exposing users to potential data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. Although security headers like HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-XSS-Protection are present, their effectiveness is undermined without proper HTTPS enforcement. The lack of DNSSEC and CAA records further exposes the domain to DNS spoofing risks. Cookie security is enhanced with HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite flags, and the use of Usercentrics indicates compliance with consent management best practices. No known vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the content. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which may impact transparency and trust. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues is critical to elevate the security baseline.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and configure strong cipher suites to secure communications.
  3. Activate and properly configure HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload directives to enforce HTTPS.
  4. Implement DNSSEC and CAA DNS records to protect against DNS spoofing and unauthorized certificate issuance.
  5. Publish clear security policies and incident response procedures to enhance transparency and trust.
  6. Continue leveraging Usercentrics CMP for cookie consent and ensure all tracking complies with GDPR.
  7. Add direct company contact information (email, phone) on the site to improve business credibility and user trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform, utilizing Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. Hosting is provided via AWS, as indicated by DNS nameservers. SEO is enhanced through Rank Math plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) for breadcrumbs and FAQ schema. The site uses Usercentrics for cookie consent management and Matomo for analytics tracking, reflecting a privacy-conscious approach. Performance metrics are not available, but the presence of multiple scripts and large images suggests moderate loading times. Accessibility features are basic but present. The lack of SSL/TLS and disabled modern protocols represent significant technical debt and risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional web presence but requires urgent security upgrades and performance optimization.
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.
