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

Welcome to the Jungle is a well-established global media and recruitment platform that connects job seekers with companies through rich content, job listings, and employer branding. The platform leverages modern web technologies including React, Express, and various analytics and marketing tools to deliver a seamless user experience. Despite strong security header configurations, the absence of a valid SSL/TLS certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent significant security risks that must be addressed promptly. Privacy compliance is robust with clear policies and consent mechanisms in place, supporting GDPR adherence. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front but requires urgent improvements in its SSL/TLS implementation to ensure secure communications and maintain user trust.

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 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

    • 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

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 company operates in the media and recruitment industry, targeting job seekers and employers globally, with a focus on the US and European markets. Its business model centers on providing job search capabilities, company insights, and recruitment solutions. The platform's international presence, including offices in New York, London, and Paris, indicates a medium-sized enterprise with a growing footprint. The use of advanced analytics and marketing tools suggests a data-driven approach to user engagement and monetization. Partnerships with customer support and recruitment solution providers enhance its service offerings. The company maintains a consistent brand image and high-quality content, positioning itself as a trusted resource in the employment sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates good security practices through comprehensive Content Security Policy, strict transport security headers, and cookie security flags. However, the critical lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols severely undermine the security posture, exposing users to potential interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. The absence of OCSP stapling and session resumption further impacts security and performance. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies were found, indicating potential gaps in security governance. Overall, while some best practices are implemented, the missing SSL/TLS infrastructure is a critical vulnerability that must be resolved to protect user data and maintain compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and secure user connections.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated versions to enhance security.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to foster transparency and responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance incident response readiness by providing clear security contact channels and policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including Express.js and React, with extensive use of third-party services such as Algolia for search, Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics, Hotjar and Contentsquare for user behavior tracking, and Sentry for error monitoring. Hosting is provided via AWS CloudFront CDN, ensuring global content delivery. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. However, performance metrics were not available, and SSL/TLS configuration is currently inadequate, representing a technical risk. The site uses a custom CMS or content management approach integrated with Algolia indices for dynamic content delivery.
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.
