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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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 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

Impellam Group operates in the specialist recruitment and workforce solutions sector, targeting businesses requiring STEM and mission-critical skillsets. Their business model integrates multiple recruitment brands and managed services to deliver tailored talent solutions. The company holds a strong market position, evidenced by industry awards and leadership recognitions. Their growth strategy includes innovative talent development programs such as 'Recruit, Train, Deploy' and a commitment to ESG principles. The company maintains active social media engagement and leverages digital marketing tools to enhance brand visibility. Partnerships and subsidiaries like Bartech, Lorien, and SRG expand their global footprint. The website content and structure support a comprehensive customer journey from insights to contact, reflecting a customer-centric approach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a robust security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers (HSTS, CSP, X-Frame-Options), and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing scripts is evident, with no detected vulnerable libraries. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response plan reduces transparency. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present, which could improve trust and readiness. Overall, the security measures align with industry best practices but could be enhanced by formalizing and publishing security governance documents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear contact information for the Data Protection Officer or privacy lead to enhance GDPR compliance.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and reduce risk.

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework, ensuring server-side rendering and good SEO performance. It integrates multiple third-party services including HubSpot for marketing automation, Microsoft Clarity for user behavior analytics, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The site uses a custom CMS (SourceFlow) for content management. Performance is moderate with preloading and deferred scripts to optimize loading times. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented, supporting a broad user base. The technical infrastructure supports scalability and integration with marketing and analytics platforms, though hosting provider details are not explicitly identified.
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.
