Risk levelMedium

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

Rail Recruiter Limited operates a specialized online job board focused on the UK rail industry, providing job listings, career advice, and recruitment services to both job seekers and employers. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and relevant content tailored to its niche audience. The technical infrastructure is based on ASP.NET WebForms with standard tracking tools like Google Analytics and Bing UET, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks some advanced security headers and uses an outdated jQuery version, which should be addressed to improve resilience. The absence of WHOIS data due to domain naming rules error limits full trust verification, but the website content and contact information support legitimacy. Overall, the site presents a trustworthy and functional platform for rail industry recruitment.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 targets a niche market segment within the transportation sector, specifically rail industry recruitment in the UK. Its business model revolves around providing a platform for job postings, CV uploads, and recruiter-candidate matching. The presence of featured recruiters and job alerts indicates active engagement with both employers and candidates. The company appears small in size but well-positioned within its niche, leveraging partnerships with known recruitment software providers. The website's content and social media presence enhance its market credibility. Growth potential exists through expanded services and improved technical and security capabilities.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and standard cookie consent mechanisms, demonstrating baseline security and privacy compliance. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. The use of an outdated jQuery version poses a potential vulnerability risk. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which is a gap in security transparency. No exposed sensitive data or obvious vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved with updated libraries, enhanced headers, and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to proactively identify and remediate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET WebForms technology with integration of jQuery 1.12.5, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Bing UET for analytics and marketing. The use of JobBoard.com software by HotLizard indicates a specialized recruitment platform. The site includes responsive design elements and uses Google Fonts and Font Awesome for styling and icons. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities. Accessibility is basic but present. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph tags, and structured navigation. The site lacks advanced security headers and uses some outdated libraries, which should be updated to reduce technical debt and security 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.
