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.

    • 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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 holds a strong market position as a specialized executive search firm with a focus on legal and compliance sectors in the Netherlands. Their business model revolves around high-touch recruitment services backed by a proprietary assessment methodology (PACT). The firm maintains partnerships with related service domains and offers a broad client base including notable Dutch organizations. The website content and branding reinforce their expertise and reliability, targeting legal professionals and corporate clients. Growth indicators include a rich portfolio of client logos and active job vacancies. Strategic partnerships and a clear service offering support sustainable business operations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent mechanisms implemented via Cookiebot. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks published security policies or incident response contacts, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the business type but could benefit from additional best practices and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen site security.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to demonstrate security maturity.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure minimal privacy impact and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO for optimization and Google Tag Manager for analytics. Cookiebot is used for cookie consent management, reflecting GDPR awareness. The site loads a variety of scripts asynchronously to improve performance. Mobile optimization is good, and navigation is clear and user-friendly. However, no explicit hosting provider information was found. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing image delivery and reducing third-party script load. The site lacks advanced accessibility features but maintains basic compliance. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs effectively with room for modernization.
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.
