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.

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.

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

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.

Business context
Business profile
WiWi Career operates as an important entity within the education sector, focusing on career services for economics students and young professionals in Germany. Its business model centers on providing a niche job platform with detailed job categories and filters, enhancing user experience for targeted job searches. The platform leverages partnerships with VAHLEN and uses Usercentrics for GDPR compliance. The absence of explicit contact details and privacy policies suggests room for improvement in transparency. The platform's use of Google Tag Manager indicates integration with marketing and analytics ecosystems. Growth potential lies in expanding service offerings and improving compliance and trust signals.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent managed via Usercentrics. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces its defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness. Compliance with GDPR is partially indicated by the consent mechanism but lacks full documentation. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a career platform but would benefit from enhanced security controls and policy disclosures.
Recommendations
Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
Add clear contact information including support and incident response channels.
Regularly update third-party libraries and frameworks to mitigate vulnerabilities.
Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a proprietary or custom CMS (em-cms) and uses a combination of jQuery 3.7.1, Bootstrap 3.4.4, FontAwesome 4.7.0, and various JavaScript libraries such as SweetAlert and Handlebars. It integrates Usercentrics for cookie consent and Google Tag Manager for analytics. Hosting appears to be provided by evolver.center, consistent with DNS and prefetch domains. Performance is moderate with preloading of key assets and responsive design for mobile devices. The site uses canonical URLs and structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO. Technical debt is indicated by use of older Bootstrap and FontAwesome versions. No critical technical risks were identified, but modernization of frameworks and enhanced security configurations are recommended.
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.
