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

Profesia.sk is a leading Slovak online job portal operated by Profesia, spol. s r. o., part of the Alma Career group. The platform offers comprehensive job listings, resume creation tools, email job alerts, and career-related content including blogs and podcasts. It targets job seekers and employers primarily in Slovakia, providing a professional and user-friendly interface with consistent branding and a strong market presence. The website integrates modern frontend technologies such as Vue.js and Bootstrap, and leverages Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate, serving content over HTTP only, which significantly impacts its security posture. Privacy and cookie policies are well maintained on the parent Alma Career domain, indicating good compliance with GDPR requirements. Overall, the site demonstrates good content quality and business credibility but requires urgent improvements in security infrastructure to protect user data and enhance 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

8 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

      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';…

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

Profesia.sk operates as a critical employment platform in Slovakia, offering a broad range of services from job listings to career advice. Its affiliation with Alma Career provides a strong partnership ecosystem and access to regional job portals across Central Europe and the Baltics. The business model focuses on connecting job seekers with employers through digital tools and content, generating revenue likely from employer postings and premium services. The platform's extensive external linking to trusted domains and social media channels supports its market positioning. Growth indicators include a large number of job offers and active employer partnerships. The company maintains a professional online presence but could enhance direct contact availability and transparency around security policies to strengthen customer trust.

Security posture

The current security posture of Profesia.sk is weak due to the absence of HTTPS and a valid SSL certificate, exposing users to potential data interception risks. No modern TLS protocols or HSTS headers are implemented, and OCSP stapling is disabled, further reducing security effectiveness. While cookies are set with secure and HttpOnly flags, these are ineffective without HTTPS. The site lacks explicit security policies, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, indicating limited readiness for security incidents. No vulnerable libraries or known exploits are detected, but the lack of encryption and security headers represents a critical vulnerability. Compliance with GDPR is supported by external policies but internal security controls need significant enhancement to protect user data and maintain regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable and enforce modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and configure HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload options.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling to improve certificate status verification and reduce latency.
  4. Add comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Publish clear security policies and incident response procedures on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  6. Review all forms and input fields for security best practices including input validation and protection against injection attacks.
  7. Enhance accessibility features and provide performance metrics to improve user experience and SEO.
  8. Increase direct contact information availability for support and security reporting.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Google Cloud infrastructure with DNS managed by Cloudflare, indicating reliable hosting and DNS performance. The tech stack includes Apache server, jQuery, Bootstrap, Vue.js, and Google Tag Manager, reflecting a modern and maintainable frontend architecture. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols are critical technical shortcomings. Performance data is missing, suggesting a need for monitoring and optimization. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses Google Fonts for typography. No CMS is explicitly detected, implying a custom or proprietary platform. Technical debt is moderate due to security gaps and lack of performance metrics. Modernization opportunities include SSL implementation, enhanced security headers, and improved accessibility compliance.
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.
