Risk levelLow

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

Sacco Mann is a UK-based specialist legal recruitment agency with over 25 years of experience connecting legal professionals with law firms and organisations. The company offers tailored recruitment services focusing on legal and intellectual property sectors, supported by a professional team and a strong repeat client base. Their website is built on the Firefish recruitment software platform using ASP.NET technology, featuring a modern and responsive design with clear navigation and good content quality. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though there is room for improvement in security headers and explicit security policies. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain introduces some uncertainty about domain registration legitimacy, but the overall business credibility and professionalism are high.

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.

    • 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

      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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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.

    • 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

Sacco Mann operates in the legal recruitment sector, targeting legal professionals and law firms across the UK. Their business model centers on providing recruitment services and career consultancy, leveraging long-standing industry knowledge and relationships. The company maintains active social media channels and uses a specialized recruitment software platform. Their market position is strong with a history of successful placements and repeat clients. The company is medium-sized, with clear contact information and trust signals such as GDPR compliance and client testimonials. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent mechanism, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, and there is no dedicated security or incident response policy page. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain is a concern for domain legitimacy and trust. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing additional security headers and publishing clear security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data to improve domain trustworthiness and legitimacy.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and libraries to prevent vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct usability testing to improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using ASP.NET Web Forms and the Firefish recruitment software platform, indicating a specialized recruitment technology stack. It uses modern web technologies including Google Fonts and FontAwesome icons. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO practices such as meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. The technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from modernization efforts such as adopting newer frameworks or improving accessibility compliance.
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.
