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

Sea-Jobs.org is a specialized online platform dedicated to connecting seafarers with maritime job opportunities and marine crewing companies. The website aggregates maritime vacancies and offers services such as job browsing by position, company, and vessel type, as well as subscription options for receiving job alerts. The platform targets maritime professionals and companies seeking crew members, positioning itself as a niche job board within the transportation sector. Technically, the website employs common web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome, hosted via NameCheap. It integrates Google Adsense for monetization and uses HTTPS for secure communication. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, indicating room for security enhancements. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which could impact user trust and regulatory adherence. Overall, the website presents a professional and relevant user experience but would benefit from improved security and privacy practices.

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. 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';…

  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

The business operates as a small-sized maritime job board founded in 2022, focusing on the transportation sector. Its business model revolves around providing a centralized platform for maritime job listings and facilitating applications to marine crewing companies. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its specialized focus on maritime employment, serving a targeted audience of seafarers and maritime companies. Revenue streams likely include advertising via Google Adsense and possibly premium services or subscriptions. The lack of explicit contact information and privacy policies suggests an opportunity to enhance credibility and user engagement. The company does not appear to have publicly listed parent or subsidiary companies. The website's partnership ecosystem is not evident from the provided data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted data transmission. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces its defense against certain attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  4. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Establish and publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to demonstrate security readiness and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard technology stack with jQuery, Bootstrap, and Font Awesome for UI and styling, hosted on infrastructure provided by NameCheap. Google Fonts and Google Adsense are integrated for typography and monetization respectively. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes basic accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading but also no advanced optimization detected. SEO is basic, with meta tags and Open Graph tags present but no structured data like JSON-LD found. The absence of a CMS or advanced frameworks suggests a custom or lightweight platform. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist in security and privacy implementations.
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.
