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

Hudson Nordic Denmark is a professional services company specializing in recruitment, leadership development, and coaching across Denmark and the Nordic region. The company positions itself as a leading Nordic partner with a proprietary approach to talent management, offering services such as Executive Search, Assessment Solutions, Executive Coaching, and Team Development. The website is well-branded and targets businesses and candidates seeking high-quality leadership and talent solutions. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using Elementor and Yoast SEO, with a moderate performance profile and good mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data, but lacks advanced security headers and visible privacy or cookie policies. WHOIS data for the subdomain is unavailable, which is typical for subdomains, but reduces domain trustworthiness slightly. Overall, the site reflects a professional and credible business presence with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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

Hudson Nordic Denmark operates in the professional services sector focusing on recruitment and leadership development. Its business model revolves around providing tailored talent acquisition and development services to corporate clients and candidates in Denmark and the broader Nordic region. The company leverages proprietary assessment tools developed by in-house psychologists and behavioral experts, differentiating itself from standard recruitment agencies. The presence of sister sites for Sweden and Norway indicates a regional strategy. The company maintains active social media channels and uses modern digital marketing tools like Typeform for client engagement. The lack of explicit company registration or VAT information on the site suggests a focus on client-facing services rather than direct e-commerce or regulated financial transactions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security posture with HTTPS enabled and no visible leakage of sensitive information in the HTML content. However, it lacks implementation of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no visible privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which is a compliance gap under GDPR and related regulations. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. The use of third-party scripts like YouTube iframe API and Typeform should be regularly audited for security risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be enhanced by adopting best practices in headers, privacy, and incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common attacks.
  3. Create and publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  4. Include incident response contact information, such as a dedicated security or abuse email address.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It incorporates Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for scripting. The site uses YouTube's no-cookie embed for privacy-conscious video integration. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities. Mobile responsiveness is good, and accessibility features are basic but present. The site lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance features. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional online presence but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy configurations.
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.
