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

Recrur is a recruitment software company offering an applicant tracking system designed to connect HR teams, hiring managers, and candidates to simplify and automate the hiring process. The website positions itself as a SaaS platform focused on enhancing recruitment efficiency and transparency. The company appears to be a small-sized technology business founded in 2016, with hosting on DigitalOcean and a WordPress CMS platform. The technical infrastructure includes modern analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, and MailerLite for email marketing. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and use of reCAPTCHA, but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is professional and functional but could improve transparency and security documentation to enhance trust and compliance.

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

6 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 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"

    • 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

Recrur operates in the recruitment technology sector, targeting HR professionals and hiring managers with applicant tracking and hiring automation solutions. The business model is SaaS-based, focusing on streamlining recruitment workflows. The company has maintained consistent domain registration since 2016, aligning with its founding year. The website content is well-branded and consistent, though it lacks explicit contact details and trust signals such as certifications or testimonials. The marketing ecosystem includes integration with major analytics and email marketing platforms, indicating a focus on digital customer acquisition and engagement. No partner or subsidiary domains were identified, suggesting an independent operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others that help mitigate common web vulnerabilities. There is no published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program, which limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly improved with additional controls and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing attacks.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress and hosted on DigitalOcean, leveraging a modern tech stack including Google Fonts and multiple analytics and marketing scripts. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. The site uses asynchronous loading for analytics and marketing scripts to optimize load times. However, the absence of security headers and DNSSEC indicates some technical debt in security hardening. The site’s design and navigation are clear and professional, supporting a good user experience.
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.
