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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

Škoda Auto's career site reflects its position as a major automotive manufacturer focusing on innovation and employee development. The business model centers on manufacturing and talent acquisition to support growth and technological advancement. The site targets diverse audiences from blue-collar workers to specialized professionals and students, indicating a broad recruitment strategy. The presence of multiple social media channels and a newsletter suggests active engagement and marketing efforts. The company maintains consistent branding and provides comprehensive benefits information, enhancing employer attractiveness. No direct revenue streams from the site are evident, as it serves primarily as a recruitment and branding platform.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms. However, there is no visible implementation of advanced security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Vimeo introduces potential risk vectors that require regular auditing. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate career site but could benefit from enhanced security controls and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance data protection officer contact visibility and provide clear data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Vue.js for frontend interactivity, Embla for carousels, and Plyr for video playback. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and includes accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with multiple CSS and JS files loaded asynchronously to improve load times. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and engaging user experience with room for performance optimization.
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.
