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

Global M is a specialized recruitment consultancy focused on scaling innovative technology companies through embedded Talent Partner models and success-based recruitment. The company operates globally with legal entities in the UK, South Africa, and Spain, targeting tech companies and job seekers. Their business model emphasizes seamless in-house hiring support and risk-free success-based recruitment fees. The website reflects a modern, professional brand with strong client testimonials and case studies, reinforcing their market position as a trusted recruitment partner. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and incorporates modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Fonts, and third-party integrations like Fillout forms and CookieYes for consent management. The site is mobile-optimized, SEO-friendly, and uses Google Analytics for visitor tracking. Performance is moderate with good accessibility and user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks explicit security headers and detailed security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The domain registration uses privacy protection, which is justified and consistent with the business profile. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional headers and policies. The overall risk assessment is low with strong business credibility and compliance. Strategic recommendations include implementing comprehensive security headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing accessibility compliance to further strengthen trust and security culture.

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

4 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"

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

Global M positions itself as an innovative recruitment consultancy leveraging embedded talent partners and technology-driven recruitment solutions. Their competitive advantage lies in personalized dashboards, live recruitment tracking, and flexible recruitment models tailored to client needs. Revenue streams likely include monthly fees for RPO services and success fees for recruitment placements. The target customers are tech companies seeking scalable hiring solutions and job seekers in the tech industry. The company demonstrates growth through active client engagement, a global presence, and a robust content marketing strategy including blogs and newsletters. Partnerships with technology providers and consulting firms support their service delivery and market reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and a robust cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No visible vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could limit transparency. The use of privacy protection in domain registration is appropriate and common for this business type. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but would benefit from enhanced documentation and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader compliance.
  5. Maintain transparency by providing data retention policies and detailed privacy compliance documentation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable and widely used CMS platform (WordPress) with the Divi theme, ensuring flexibility and ease of content management. The tech stack includes modern JavaScript libraries and fonts loaded from trusted CDNs. Performance is moderate, with some optimization opportunities in asset loading and caching. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Integration of multilingual support and consent management tools indicates a mature digital infrastructure. Technical risks are minimal but should be monitored through regular updates and security audits.
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.
