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

Jove International is a specialist recruitment firm focusing on delivering exceptional talent in quantitative and technology-driven finance markets globally. The company targets major financial centers including London, Hong Kong, Tokyo, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Paris. Their key services include contingent and retained search, market mapping, competitor analysis, and compensation analysis. The website presents a professional image with clear business focus and global market coverage. Technically, the site is built on the Readymag platform, utilizing modern fonts and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and TikTok Pixel. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO practices but lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which impacts compliance. Security posture is moderate with no detected security headers and unclear SSL configuration. WHOIS data is unavailable, raising concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from improved compliance and security transparency.

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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  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"

    • 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';…

  3. 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

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

Jove International operates in a niche market of finance and technology recruitment, leveraging deep industry experience since 2009. Their competitive advantage lies in qualitative approaches to quantitative markets and global reach. The business model is service-based, focusing on high-value talent placement. The website content and contact details support credibility, though the lack of WHOIS data and privacy policies suggest areas for improvement. The firm appears small but specialized, targeting finance professionals and companies worldwide. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data. Marketing relies on professional presentation and digital analytics tracking.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS implied but no explicit security headers detected in the provided data. There is no evidence of a published security policy or incident response contacts. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps, particularly with GDPR. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts like Google Analytics and TikTok Pixel introduces moderate tracking but no apparent security risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but could be enhanced by adding security headers, privacy compliance documentation, and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance security posture.
  3. Clarify domain registration status and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and publicly available to improve trust.
  4. Include a security or incident response contact email to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident management.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and libraries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Readymag platform, leveraging modern web fonts from Google Fonts and Adobe Typekit. It integrates Google Analytics and TikTok Pixel for user tracking and marketing analytics. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags. Hosting is via Readymag's CDN and Cloudfront, ensuring reasonable performance. No CMS vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected. However, the absence of security headers and privacy compliance documentation indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Performance is moderate with potential for improvement through optimization of third-party scripts and enhanced caching strategies.
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.
