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

Sue Prince Resourcing Ltd is a specialized recruitment agency focusing on senior and managerial roles within the hospitality sector in the UK and internationally. The company serves a diverse client base ranging from large hotel brands and venues to independent hoteliers, offering recruitment services for roles in revenue management, sales, marketing, e-commerce, events, human resources, and general management. The website reflects a niche market positioning with a clear business model centered on personalized recruitment services. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Bootstrap and jQuery, hosted likely via GoDaddy, and employs standard tracking tools such as Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. While the site enforces HTTPS and includes basic bot protection on forms, it lacks advanced security headers and uses outdated JavaScript libraries, which may expose it to vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no cookie consent mechanism despite active tracking scripts, and no published security or incident response policies. Overall, the website is professional and functional but would benefit from security and privacy enhancements to strengthen 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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

The company operates in the hospitality recruitment niche, targeting hospitality businesses and candidates seeking senior roles. Its competitive advantage lies in specialization and personalized service. Revenue streams are likely commission-based from successful placements. The presence of a LinkedIn profile and professional contact details supports credibility. The business has been established since 2016, consistent with domain age, indicating stability. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the website. The company’s market presence is modest but focused, with clear service offerings and a UK-centric approach with international reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enforced and a simple CAPTCHA on contact forms. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and use of outdated jQuery versions present moderate security risks. No dedicated security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms despite tracking scripts indicates privacy compliance gaps. These factors suggest a need for improved security hygiene and privacy practices to mitigate potential risks and align with GDPR requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Upgrade jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to eliminate known vulnerabilities.
  4. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and privacy best practices.
  5. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on an older version of WordPress (4.5.32) with Bootstrap and jQuery 1.12.4, which is outdated and may pose security risks. The site uses Google Fonts, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager for tracking and styling. HTTPS is enforced via a client-side script redirect. The site is moderately optimized for mobile with responsive design elements. Performance is moderate, with no advanced caching or performance optimization detected. Accessibility features are basic, with some ARIA labels and responsive menu scripts. SEO optimization is basic, with meta tags and canonical links present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. Hosting appears to be via GoDaddy based on registrar and nameservers. Overall, the technical stack is functional but dated, with modernization opportunities to improve security, performance, and 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.
