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. 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 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

  3. 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

Randstad operates in the staffing and recruitment sector, focusing on the Dutch market. Its business model revolves around connecting job seekers with employers via an online platform. The company maintains a strong market position as a well-known brand in the Netherlands. The website content and metadata emphasize job vacancies and recruitment services, targeting a general audience. The use of multiple analytics and marketing tools suggests an active approach to user engagement and conversion optimization. No direct contact emails or phone numbers were found, indicating reliance on web forms for communication. No evidence of subsidiaries or parent companies was detected in the provided data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented. Use of reCaptcha helps mitigate automated abuse. However, there is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact information, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The presence of multiple third-party scripts requires ongoing monitoring to prevent supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity is solid but could benefit from more explicit disclosures and dedicated security contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact channels.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  4. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers for support and security incidents.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Hippo CMS, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and reCaptcha. The site loads multiple external scripts for analytics and marketing purposes. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices evident from meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The site uses SVG icons and custom CSS for branding consistency. Hosting provider details were not explicitly found. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and scalable web presence but should maintain vigilance on third-party dependencies.
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.
