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

5 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

    • 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. 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';…

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

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

YoungCapital operates in the recruitment and employment sector, targeting primarily young job seekers and employers in the Netherlands. Its business model revolves around online job listings, candidate registration, and employer recruitment services. The company leverages partnerships and sub-brands like YoungCapital NEXT for specialized career development. The platform integrates social media and marketing tools to engage users and drive traffic. The company is large in size, with a long operational history and clear legal and tax registrations. Its competitive advantage lies in its focused youth market niche and comprehensive digital infrastructure.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and includes CSRF tokens indicating secure form handling. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting GDPR compliance. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options are not detected, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve security transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers (CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options) to harden security posture.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact details to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Introduce a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user privacy controls and data retention disclosures to align with evolving GDPR requirements.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom Ruby on Rails platform with modern front-end technologies including jQuery and Bootstrap. Assets are hosted on Amazon AWS S3, ensuring scalability and performance. The site is optimized for mobile devices with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO best practices are followed with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is fast with preconnect and preload hints for critical resources. The technical infrastructure is robust, though some legacy libraries like jQuery remain in use, which should be monitored for security updates.
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.
