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

crooton is a UK-based recruitment advertising company specializing in location-based advertising solutions to connect employers with the right candidates. Their GeoHire™ platform leverages multiple media channels including geofencing, digital billboards, and digital marketing to enhance recruitment campaigns. The company targets employers and jobseekers, offering a comprehensive suite of services designed to improve hiring outcomes. The website demonstrates strong market positioning with notable clients and awards, reflecting a reputable presence in the recruitment and advertising sectors. Technically, the site is built on Webflow with a modern tech stack incorporating various analytics and marketing tools, ensuring good performance, mobile optimization, and SEO. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though lacks explicit security policies and incident response information. WHOIS data is missing, which slightly impacts trustworthiness but the overall digital footprint and branding suggest legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security transparency and verifying domain registration details.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

    • 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';…
  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 operates in the recruitment advertising niche with a focus on innovative location-based targeting. Their business model integrates digital and physical advertising channels to maximize candidate reach, including passive job seekers. The presence of major clients like British Transport Police, NHS, Uber, and Kraft Heinz indicates strong market acceptance and partnership ecosystem. Revenue streams likely include advertising campaign management, media buying, and technology platform services. The company leverages AI combined with human intelligence to optimize campaigns, indicating a hybrid approach to service delivery. Growth indicators include award recognitions and a diverse product portfolio. The website's integration with multiple marketing and analytics platforms reflects a mature digital marketing strategy.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements, demonstrating good privacy compliance. Multiple third-party tracking and marketing scripts are used, which increases the attack surface but are standard in digital marketing. No security headers were detected in the HTML content, suggesting room for improvement in HTTP security configurations. The absence of a published security policy or incident response plan reduces transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing security documentation and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents or abuse reports.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

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.
