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

3 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 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. 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 21 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography

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 website positions Charles Schwab as a leading employer in the financial services sector, emphasizing competitive pay, benefits, and career growth. It serves as a recruitment hub for various career areas including financial services representatives, licensed professionals, and technology roles. The business model focuses on attracting and retaining talent through detailed career information, training programs, and employee stories. The site integrates with partner platforms like iCIMS for application management and references international services for non-U.S. residents, indicating a broad operational footprint. Awards and recognitions showcased enhance employer branding and trust. The site’s marketing and analytics tools support targeted recruitment efforts while maintaining privacy compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide and a cookie consent banner indicating GDPR compliance. However, no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, representing an area for enhancement. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which could improve transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analysis. The use of reputable third-party scripts and analytics tools is noted, with Facebook Pixel used for tracking. Overall, the security measures are adequate for a recruitment site but could be strengthened with additional headers and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance WHOIS data visibility or domain registration transparency to reduce minor trust concerns.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the TalentBrew career platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, FancyBox, and Slick Carousel for interactive UI components. Font Awesome provides iconography. The site loads resources from reputable CDNs ensuring good performance and availability. Meta tags and Open Graph data are well implemented for SEO and social sharing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features like skip navigation links and ARIA labels. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and lazy loading of images. There is no evidence of legacy or vulnerable libraries. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable recruitment portal.
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.
