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

    • 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. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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 holds a niche position in the local media delivery recruitment market, focusing on flexible employment opportunities for various demographics including students and retirees. Its competitive advantage lies in personalized onboarding and reliable payment practices. The business model is straightforward, relying on recruitment and management of delivery personnel. The website's partnership with bewerbung.mergelsberg-media.de suggests an integrated application process. Growth indicators are not explicit but the presence of multiple job types indicates operational flexibility. The company maintains a simple but consistent branding approach and provides clear contact channels, supporting customer trust and engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS usage implied but not explicitly confirmed. The presence of a cookie consent banner aligns with privacy best practices. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response policies are published, which could be a gap in security readiness. No tracking or analytics scripts were detected, reducing privacy risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could benefit from enhanced technical controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTPS with strong TLS configuration and certificate validity.
  2. Add essential HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to harden security.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance privacy policy details to cover data retention and user rights comprehensively.
  5. Consider integrating basic analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to monitor site usage and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS (memeSYS) combined with popular frontend frameworks like Bootstrap and jQuery, providing a modern but simple technical foundation. Performance is moderate with some optimization via PageSpeed indicated by resource naming. Mobile responsiveness is good, and accessibility is basic but functional. The hosting appears to be managed via GoDaddy's domain control services. No advanced technical risks or deprecated libraries were detected. Opportunities exist to improve SEO and accessibility further, and to implement stronger security headers and HTTPS verification.
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.
