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

Legal People is a specialized executive search consultancy focused on legal, tax, and compliance professionals in the Netherlands. The company positions itself as a market leader with over 30 years of experience and a unique approach that guarantees successful placements. Their services include permanent and interim recruitment, partner search, evaluation, and training programs. The website is built on WordPress with multilingual support and SEO optimization, presenting a professional and user-friendly experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled, though improvements in security headers and privacy compliance documentation are recommended.

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

3 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.

    • 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

  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.

    • 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

The company targets legal professionals and corporate clients in the Netherlands, leveraging a strong network and proprietary assessment tools like the PACT measurement. Their business model is consultancy and recruitment-focused, with additional educational offerings. The website links to partner domains that extend their service ecosystem. Market positioning is strong with claims of a 100% success rate and decades of experience. The company appears medium-sized with consistent branding and trust signals such as client testimonials and unique service offerings. Growth potential is supported by diversified services and a clear focus on the legal sector.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses common WordPress security plugins, but lacks visible security headers which are important for defense in depth. No forms or sensitive data exposure were detected in the provided content, reducing immediate risk. There is no public security or incident response policy, nor a vulnerability disclosure mechanism, which are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data absence is a concern for domain trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure process.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  4. Create a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO and WPML for multilingual support, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. jQuery and Slick Slider are used for UI components. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate with room for optimization. No advanced frameworks or hosting provider details were identified. The technical setup is standard for a professional consultancy website but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
