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. 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

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

Business profile

Profesia.sk operates within the online recruitment and employment services sector, serving a large audience of job seekers and employers. Its business model revolves around providing job listings, recruitment tools, and value-added services such as salary comparisons and career content. The company benefits from being part of the Alma Career group, which enhances its market reach and resource base. The platform's extensive partnerships and subsidiaries across Central Europe and the Baltics indicate a strategic regional expansion and diversification. The website's content and services are tailored to meet the needs of the Slovak labor market, including special sections for foreign workers and various job types. This positions Profesia.sk as a key player in the regional employment ecosystem with competitive advantages in brand recognition, service breadth, and technological adoption.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of multiple security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and may hinder rapid response to security incidents. The use of multiple third-party analytics and tracking scripts necessitates ongoing vigilance to manage potential privacy and security risks. Overall, the security maturity is solid but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security governance documents and providing direct security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and controls.
  2. Implement and publicize an incident response contact channel (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  5. Enhance transparency on data retention and processing practices to strengthen privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern technology stack including Vue.js for UI components, Bootstrap for responsive design, and Google Fonts for typography. It integrates multiple analytics platforms such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Gemius for user behavior tracking and performance monitoring. The site uses Google Tag Manager for flexible tag management and includes a cookie consent manager to comply with privacy regulations. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and preloading of fonts, contributing to good user experience. Mobile optimization is excellent, with responsive layouts and accessible navigation. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not explicit but the presence of multiple CDN and analytics domains indicates a distributed infrastructure. Opportunities exist to improve technical documentation and security transparency to reduce technical debt and operational risks.
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.
