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

Great Place To Work is a well-established Swedish company specializing in workplace culture improvement, employee engagement surveys, and certification services. The company holds a strong market position as a world leader in workplace culture, offering services such as employee surveys, consulting, employer branding, and ranking lists. Their website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and rich in relevant content targeting organizations aiming to enhance their workplace environment and employer brand. Technically, the website leverages modern marketing and analytics technologies including HubSpot CMS, Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise. The hosting provider is Loopia AB, a reputable Swedish registrar and hosting company. The site demonstrates good performance, accessibility, and SEO practices. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS, uses security headers, and implements privacy-compliant cookie consent mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and there is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact information, which could be improved. Overall, the website and business exhibit a high level of professionalism, trustworthiness, and compliance with privacy regulations. The domain age and WHOIS data support the legitimacy of the business. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing a security policy, and adding a vulnerability disclosure mechanism to further enhance security posture and trust.

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

6 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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"

  3. 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

Great Place To Work operates in the niche of workplace culture and employee engagement, providing certification and consulting services primarily in Sweden but with a global brand presence. Their business model focuses on subscription-based employee surveys, certification fees, and consulting engagements. The company targets medium to large organizations seeking to improve employee satisfaction and employer branding. Their competitive advantage lies in their established brand, comprehensive methodology, and strong customer testimonials. The company leverages partnerships and digital marketing tools to maintain market leadership and drive growth.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement, use of security headers, and integration of Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise to protect forms. Privacy compliance is evident through cookie consent banners and a comprehensive privacy policy. However, the absence of DNSSEC and a public security policy or incident response contacts are gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The security score is high but could be improved by addressing these gaps and formalizing incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update as needed.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user privacy controls.

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.
