Risk levelLow

0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Compliance People is a specialized executive search firm focused on recruiting compliance professionals for permanent and interim roles, primarily serving the finance sector in the Netherlands. The company emphasizes a high success rate and deep market knowledge, leveraging a unique PACT Assessment tool developed in collaboration with HartKantoor. The website is professionally designed, multilingual (English and Dutch), and optimized for user experience and SEO. The technical infrastructure is based on WordPress with modern libraries and frameworks, ensuring moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though some security headers and explicit policies are missing. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable anomaly that requires further verification to confirm domain legitimacy.

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

2 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.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  2. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 positions itself as a leader in compliance recruitment with over 30 years of experience in placing tax professionals. Its business model revolves around executive search and interim staffing solutions, targeting compliance professionals and organizations needing specialized talent. The firm maintains a strong network and claims a 100% success rate in certain niches, indicating a competitive advantage. The website references partner domains and related services, suggesting a broader ecosystem. The lack of visible certifications or social media presence may limit external trust signals, but the detailed service descriptions and client logos enhance credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent banner, indicating compliance with basic security and privacy standards. However, no advanced security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) were detected, and there is no published security or incident response policy. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a potential risk factor for trust and legitimacy. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate website but could be improved with additional security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers such as 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 contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider publishing terms of service and a vulnerability disclosure policy to build trust and encourage responsible security reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, and various plugins for sliders, validation, and UI enhancements. The site is multilingual and optimized for SEO using Yoast SEO plugin. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. The site lacks some advanced accessibility features and security headers. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. The technical implementation supports the business goals effectively but has room for improvement in security and accessibility.
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.
