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

Profil is a well-established HR consultancy firm founded in 1989, specializing in executive search, selection, and management consulting across South-East Europe. The company operates through a network of regional partner offices, providing tailored HR solutions and leadership advisory services. Their business model focuses on delivering quality, trust, and tradition to companies and candidates alike. Technically, the website uses a custom CMS with legacy JavaScript libraries and standard web technologies, offering moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is average with HTTPS assumed but lacking visible security headers and privacy policies, indicating room for improvement in compliance and protection. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain legitimacy, although the business content and certifications support credibility. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy measures.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      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

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

Profil holds a strong market position as a leading HR consultancy in South-East Europe, leveraging a network of local partners to deliver standardized yet locally informed services. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing history, comprehensive service offerings including executive search and leadership advisory, and regional presence. The business targets corporate clients and candidates seeking career development, with revenue streams likely from consulting fees and recruitment services. Partnerships with regional offices enhance their market reach. Strategic observations include the need to improve digital trust signals such as domain registration transparency and privacy compliance to strengthen market confidence.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The website uses HTTPS but lacks important security headers such as Content Security Policy and HSTS. No forms or input fields were detected, reducing immediate risk of injection attacks, but the use of outdated JavaScript libraries like jQuery 1.7.1 may expose vulnerabilities. There is no visible privacy or cookie policy, indicating potential GDPR compliance gaps. Incident response and security policy information are absent, suggesting limited transparency in security governance. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements in headers, library updates, and privacy compliance to mitigate risks and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Update JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Add and configure security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Publish clear security policies and incident response contacts to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Verify and update domain registration information to ensure consistency and enhance legitimacy perception.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform using legacy JavaScript libraries including jQuery 1.7.1, Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and various popup plugins. The site is moderately performant with good mobile responsiveness but lacks modern frameworks or CMS platforms that could improve maintainability and security. SEO optimization is basic with minimal meta descriptions and keywords. Accessibility features are limited but functional. The hosting provider and SSL configuration details are not discernible from the provided data. Technical debt is indicated by outdated libraries and missing security headers, presenting modernization opportunities to enhance performance and security.
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.
