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"

    • 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';…
  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 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

Workwise GmbH is positioned as a medium-sized technology company in the online employment sector, focusing on simplifying the job application process in Germany. Its business model centers on providing a platform that removes traditional barriers like cover letters, appealing to job seekers seeking efficiency and guaranteed responses. The company benefits from a strong digital marketing ecosystem including social media and targeted advertising. While no parent or subsidiary relationships are evident, the company maintains a clear and consistent brand identity. The platform's growth potential is supported by its user-centric approach and regional focus. Strategic partnerships or certifications are not publicly highlighted, suggesting opportunities for further trust-building measures.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data. Use of reputable third-party libraries and analytics tools is evident, though explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not detected, representing an area for improvement. No public security or incident response policies are found, which could enhance transparency and user trust. The absence of vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files indicates limited public-facing security communication. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the business type but could be strengthened by adopting additional HTTP security headers and publishing incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and user confidence.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate risks from outdated components.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying relevant certifications or trust badges to strengthen market position and credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Autocomplete.js, and Splide.js for UI enhancements. It integrates multiple analytics and advertising services including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Bing Ads, managed via Google Tag Manager. Hosting is provided through AWS Cloudfront CDN, contributing to moderate performance and good global availability. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation and accessibility compliance could be improved to reduce operational risks.
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.
