RecruitGiant is a Malta-based company specializing in global staffing, recruitment, and human resources outsourcing services. The company targets businesses seeking cost-efficient and tailored HR solutions, including payroll and international recruitment. Their website presents a professional image with clear service offerings and testimonials, positioning them as an experienced player with over a decade of industry presence.

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

10 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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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

RecruitGiant operates in the HR outsourcing and recruitment sector, focusing on international staffing and payroll services. Their business model is B2B, serving companies that require outsourcing of HR functions to improve efficiency and reduce costs. The company leverages over a decade of experience and claims collaboration with Fortune 500 companies, suggesting a competitive market position. Their digital presence includes social media engagement on Facebook and LinkedIn, supporting brand visibility. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps. No evidence of parent or subsidiary companies was found, indicating a standalone small business entity.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, but lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are essential for mitigating common web attacks. No incident response or security policy pages are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. The absence of privacy and cookie policies raises GDPR compliance concerns, especially given the European location. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were explicitly detected, but reliance on common WordPress plugins necessitates regular updates to prevent exploitation. Overall, the security maturity is basic, with room for significant improvements to protect user data and enhance trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and provide dedicated security contact information.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by adding data retention policies and cookie consent mechanisms.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.1.7 with WPBakery Page Builder and Contact Form 7 plugins, using jQuery and Bootstrap for frontend functionality. The site loads CSS and JS assets from its own domain and Google Fonts. Performance is moderate with no explicit performance optimization detected. Mobile responsiveness is good due to Bootstrap usage. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. Accessibility features are minimal. The site uses HTTPS but lacks advanced security headers. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a small business website but could benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
