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

SEEK Pass is a digital credential verification platform operated by SEEK Limited, a major Australian company. The service enables job seekers to securely verify and share their work credentials and identity documents to enhance their job applications on SEEK. The platform is integrated with SEEK's ecosystem and offers mobile apps for iOS and Android, providing a seamless user experience for credential management. The website demonstrates a strong market position by leveraging SEEK's brand and user base, targeting job seekers and employers primarily in Australia. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies including React and Gatsby, hosted on AWS infrastructure. It employs a strict Content-Security-Policy and HTTPS to ensure secure communications. The site is well optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Analytics and error tracking are implemented via Rollbar and Datadog, indicating active monitoring and performance management. From a security perspective, the site shows good practices such as HTTPS enforcement and CSP headers, though DNSSEC is not enabled and no security.txt or explicit vulnerability disclosure policy is found. Privacy compliance is strong with a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service, but no cookie consent mechanism was detected. Contact information is provided via a support portal rather than direct emails or phone numbers. Overall, SEEK Pass presents a professional, trustworthy, and secure platform aligned with SEEK Limited's business objectives. The risk profile is low with no critical vulnerabilities or suspicious indicators detected. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding a cookie consent mechanism, and publishing a security.txt file to enhance transparency and security posture.

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

4 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. 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

  3. 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

SEEK Pass operates within the technology sector focusing on digital identity and credential verification services integrated with SEEK's job marketplace. Its competitive advantage lies in leveraging SEEK's brand and user base, offering verified credentials to improve job application trustworthiness. The business model centers on providing a secure digital passport for credentials, enhancing user profiles and employer trust. Revenue streams likely include partnerships with employers and SEEK's platform integration. The target customers are job seekers and employers in Australia, with over 3.5 million users and 8.5 million credentials verified, indicating strong growth and market adoption. The partnership ecosystem includes SEEK Limited and app distribution via major app stores. Operationally, the company emphasizes security, privacy, and user control over data sharing.

Security posture

The security maturity of SEEK Pass is good, with HTTPS enforced and a strict Content-Security-Policy implemented to mitigate common web attacks. The domain is protected with clientTransferProhibited status, reducing risk of unauthorized transfers. No DNSSEC is enabled, which is a minor gap in DNS security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks a security.txt file and explicit incident response contact channels, which could improve vulnerability management and reporting. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, supporting data protection requirements. Overall, the platform demonstrates a strong security culture but could enhance transparency and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Implement a visible cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and inform users.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  4. Add additional security headers such as HSTS and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security posture.
  5. Provide explicit incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails) to improve incident handling.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based framework (Gatsby) optimized for performance and SEO. Hosting is on AWS, indicated by DNS nameservers. The site loads quickly and is mobile optimized with responsive design. Analytics and error tracking are implemented via Rollbar and Datadog RUM, supporting proactive monitoring. The HTML and CSS are valid and well structured. No CMS detected, indicating a custom or static site generation approach. Technical debt appears low with modern best practices applied.

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.
