High risk. 4 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.
Boyden is a globally recognized leadership and talent advisory firm specializing in executive search, interim management, and leadership consulting services. The company operates through a broad international network with over 75 offices in more than 45 countries, serving a diverse range of industries and markets. Their website reflects a professional and comprehensive presentation of their services, targeting corporate clients seeking high-level talent solutions worldwide. Technically, the website employs standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and jQuery. While the site is well-structured with good SEO and mobile optimization basics, performance data is unavailable. The absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocols represent significant technical and security shortcomings. Despite strong security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, the invalid SSL undermines overall security posture. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates awareness of best practices through implemented headers and cookie policies but critically fails in SSL deployment, exposing users to potential risks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, indicating gaps in security transparency and readiness. The WHOIS data supports the legitimacy of the domain and business identity, with no suspicious patterns detected. Overall, Boyden's website is professionally designed and content-rich, supporting its market position as a leading talent advisory firm. However, urgent remediation of SSL/TLS issues is necessary to ensure secure user interactions and maintain trust. Enhancements in security transparency and incident response communication would further strengthen their security posture and compliance.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.
4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.
GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data
What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS
GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage
What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes
GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies
What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit
TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.
Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception
What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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.

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.
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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
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.
