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

sprungbrett.at is an Austrian job platform focused on connecting job seekers with employment opportunities primarily in commercial and technical sectors. The website offers job listings, initiative application options, and personnel search services for companies. It targets job seekers in Austria and positions itself as a regional recruitment service with a professional and user-friendly interface. Technically, the site uses a Contao CMS backend with PHP 7.4 and nginx server, integrating common web technologies such as jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Maps API, and ShareThis for social sharing. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate, serving content over HTTP only, which significantly impacts its security posture. Security headers are present but undermined by the absence of HTTPS. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible privacy or cookie policies. Contact information is clearly provided, including email, phone, and physical address, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the site is functional and professional but requires urgent security and compliance improvements.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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

  3. 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';…

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 platform operates as a small-sized, important entity in the recruitment sector, focusing on the Austrian market. It leverages a straightforward business model of job listings and recruitment services, targeting job seekers and employers. The presence of customer testimonials and clear contact details supports trustworthiness. The company appears independent with no parent or subsidiary companies identified. The website's marketing ecosystem includes Google Analytics and ShareThis, indicating moderate user tracking and engagement strategies. The lack of privacy and cookie policies suggests room for compliance improvement. The technical stack is somewhat dated, with older jQuery versions and no modern TLS support, which could affect user trust and security.

Security posture

The security posture is currently poor due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS, exposing users to potential interception risks. While several security headers are implemented (X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, HSTS), the HSTS header is ineffective without HTTPS. No advanced security frameworks or incident response contacts are found. The site does not provide a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file. The use of an outdated jQuery version may introduce vulnerabilities. Overall, the site requires immediate SSL deployment and security hardening to protect user data and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to enhance transparency.
  5. Restrict CORS policy from wildcard '*' to trusted domains only and review access-control headers.

Notes

The website is hosted on an nginx server with PHP 7.4 and uses the Contao CMS platform. It integrates several external scripts including jQuery 1.12.4, Google Analytics, Google Maps API, and ShareThis for social sharing. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses DNS prefetching for performance. However, the SSL/TLS configuration is missing, resulting in no HTTPS support and no modern TLS protocols enabled. Performance data is missing but inferred as slow due to lack of caching and no session resumption. Accessibility is basic with some semantic HTML5 usage. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured navigation but lacks Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but outdated and insecure.
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.
