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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

Skills.hr operates as a specialized marketplace in the education sector, focusing on professional training in France. Its competitive advantage lies in the breadth of training offers and the transparency of quality data provided to users. The business model is based on aggregating and facilitating access to training programs, likely monetized through partnerships or lead generation. The target customers are professionals and companies seeking training solutions. The presence of related projects indicates a strategic ecosystem approach, enhancing brand recognition and market reach. Growth indicators include a large catalog and integration with financing options. Partnerships with software providers like Digiforma suggest a collaborative approach to service delivery.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and bot protection via hCaptcha. Use of Google Tag Manager allows controlled script management. However, the absence of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency. No security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML content, which could be improved to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is addressed, but incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are missing. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from enhanced documentation and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response contacts to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve inclusivity.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Phoenix LiveView, JavaScript, and integrates third-party services like hCaptcha and Google Tag Manager. Hosting is on Amazon AWS, providing scalable and reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO metadata and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading and asynchronous analytics integration. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or framework-based solution. Technical debt appears low, but accessibility could be improved. The technical stack supports a professional and scalable platform suitable for the business model.
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.
