Priority fixes for xing.com
Ordered by impact and by how common each practice is among peers.
Priority 1 · Harden
Content Security Policy present
Observed: The homepage response did not include a Content-Security-Policy header.
Why it matters: A CSP limits where scripts, styles and frames can load from, which reduces the impact of injected or compromised third-party code.
What to do: Start with Content-Security-Policy-Report-Only to see what would break, tighten the policy over a few weeks, then enforce it.
30% of Job Portals, HR & Recruitment peers do this. Limit: Read from the homepage response only; other pages or regions may send different headers.

Priority 2 · Harden
Certificate lifetime of 100 days or less
Observed: The certificate from Amazon had a 197-day validity period, longer than the 100-day maximum that applies from March 2027.
What to do: Move to automated issuance and renewal now, while you still have time to test it.
56% of Job Portals, HR & Recruitment peers do this.
Priority 3 · Harden
CAA records limit who can issue certificates
Observed: No CAA record was found for xing.com, so any public certificate authority may issue for it.

14% of Job Portals, HR & Recruitment peers do this.
Priority 4 · Enable
