Security score

32/100

Risk levelHigh

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

Fingates is a small business specializing in local and foreign Human Resources Recruitment Services, targeting organizations seeking bespoke HR solutions. The website content is minimal and basic, focusing on describing their service offering and corporate integrity. The market position appears niche with no clear indicators of scale or growth. Technically, the website relies on outdated Flash technology and lacks HTTPS, which significantly impacts security and user trust. The use of Google Analytics indicates some level of digital maturity, but the absence of privacy and cookie policies suggests low compliance with modern data protection standards. Security posture is weak due to missing HTTPS, lack of security headers, and deprecated technologies. Overall, the website presents a low trust profile with limited business credibility and technical sophistication.

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

10 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      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

  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"

    • 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';…

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

Fingates operates in the Education sector with a focus on HR recruitment services. The business model is service-oriented, targeting clients needing recruitment solutions. The website lacks detailed business information such as founding year, physical address, or certifications, limiting transparency. The partnership with Square Concept for website development is noted. The absence of social media or additional digital presence restricts market reach. The company appears to be a small entity with basic online presence and limited digital marketing or trust signals.

Security posture

The security maturity level is low. Critical issues include absence of HTTPS, use of deprecated Flash content, and lack of security headers. No privacy or cookie policies are present, and no incident response or security contact information is provided. Google Analytics is used without visible consent mechanisms, raising privacy compliance concerns. The website does not implement modern security best practices, exposing it to potential risks such as data interception and compatibility issues. No vulnerabilities such as exposed credentials or SQL injection are visible, but the overall security posture is inadequate for professional standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all communications.
  2. Remove or replace Flash content with modern HTML5 or JavaScript alternatives to improve compatibility and security.
  3. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  4. Introduce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  5. Develop secure contact forms with input validation and HTTPS to facilitate safe user interactions.

  3. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies found.
  4. Contact information limited to a meta tag email address; no phone or physical address found.

  6. Minimal content and basic design reduce user trust and engagement.
  7. No security headers or advanced security practices observed.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses basic HTML with some JavaScript libraries such as SWFObject for Flash embedding and Google Analytics for tracking. The absence of modern frameworks or CMS indicates a static or custom-built site. Performance is moderate but likely impacted by Flash content and lack of mobile optimization. SEO is basic with minimal meta tags and no structured data. Accessibility features are minimal. Hosting and platform details are not discernible from the content. The site would benefit from modernization to improve user experience, security, and compliance.
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.
