With over 20 years of experience, it serves a global clientele by connecting professionals with relevant job opportunities and providing comprehensive recruitment and consultancy services. The company positions itself as a leading player in its niche with a strong emphasis on quality and client satisfaction. Technically, the website is built on WordPress, leveraging modern SEO tools like Yoast SEO and performance optimizations such as WP Rocket. It integrates multiple social media platforms and analytics services, indicating a mature digital presence. The site is mobile-optimized and provides multilingual support, enhancing accessibility for international users. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks some security headers and formal security policies, which could be improved. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. The domain registration details are consistent with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. Overall, PG Global's website reflects a professional and credible business with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security best practices. Strategic enhancements in these areas would strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

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

5 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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

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

PG Global operates in the specialist recruitment sector targeting energy and marine industries. Its competitive advantage lies in its international reach and over two decades of industry experience. The business model centers on recruitment services supplemented by consultancy, logistics, and payroll management. The company targets professionals and clients worldwide, emphasizing quality and timely delivery. Partnerships with recognized certification bodies and active social media presence support its market positioning. Growth indicators include multilingual site support and regular industry news updates. The company maintains a professional brand image and leverages digital marketing tools to enhance visibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of key security headers and lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies indicate gaps in security governance. Privacy compliance is limited, lacking cookie consent and GDPR explicit statements. The use of third-party analytics and social media scripts introduces moderate tracking but is standard for the industry. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found. Enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and implementing cookie consent would improve the security posture and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive cookie consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide terms of service to improve user trust and legal compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Yoast SEO, WP Rocket for caching, and integration with Google Analytics and Tag Manager. The site uses CDN services for media delivery, improving performance. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices are well implemented. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The site performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation is missing, representing a technical risk. Overall, the infrastructure supports business operations effectively but can benefit from modernization in security and accessibility.
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.
