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

Wirtschaftsförderung Erzgebirge GmbH operates the Fachkräfteportal Erzgebirge, a regional job recruitment portal focused on the Erzgebirge region in Germany. The platform offers a comprehensive job board with numerous current and qualified job listings, targeting both job seekers and companies within the region. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and clear navigation, supporting multiple languages and providing detailed filters for job searches. Technically, the site leverages modern JavaScript libraries, Matomo and Google Analytics for analytics, and Google Tag Manager for tag management, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and a robust cookie consent mechanism, though some security headers and explicit security policies are absent. The WHOIS data is notably missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration transparency despite the professional appearance and operation of the site. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-positioned as a regional employment platform but would benefit from improved domain registration transparency and enhanced security policies.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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 portal serves as a key regional employment hub, providing a platform for local companies to post job offers and for candidates to find employment opportunities. Its business model is based on facilitating regional workforce recruitment, supported by Wirtschaftsförderung Erzgebirge GmbH, a government-related entity. The site integrates with partner domains for multilingual support and regional promotion, enhancing its reach and service quality. The presence of social media channels and a welcome center link indicates a strong ecosystem supporting regional economic development. The platform's growth potential lies in expanding job listings and enhancing user engagement through improved technical and security features.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS and a comprehensive cookie consent banner that complies with GDPR. Analytics and advertising scripts are managed with user consent, reflecting privacy awareness. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure information are gaps. The missing WHOIS data is a significant anomaly that could impact trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The site would benefit from publishing a security.txt file and enhancing header security to improve its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness for security incidents.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security communication.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain registration transparency and trustworthiness.
  5. Continue maintaining and enhancing privacy compliance mechanisms, including clear data retention policies and user consent management.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including JavaScript, jQuery, Select2 for enhanced form controls, and Bootstrap for responsive design. Analytics are handled via Matomo and Google Analytics 4, integrated through Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features, though some improvements could be made. Performance is moderate, with no critical issues detected. The CMS is JobManager by pitcom GmbH, a specialized job portal solution. External dependencies include multiple third-party domains for analytics and social media integration. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and performance optimizations.
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.
