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

WOOW is a Swedish executive search and recruitment firm specializing in marketing, sales, analysis, and martech sectors. The company focuses on recruiting key personnel from specialists to CxO-level executives, leveraging deep industry expertise and a structured recruitment process. The website presents a professional image with client testimonials and a clear value proposition targeting businesses seeking talent in digital marketing and related fields. Technically, the site is built on modern JavaScript frameworks (Nuxt.js) and integrates common analytics and tracking tools such as Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced, but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies. WHOIS data is unavailable, raising questions about domain registration legitimacy, though website content suggests a legitimate business. Overall, the site is professional and functional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security transparency.

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

4 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 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

WOOW operates in a niche recruitment market focusing on marketing, media, and IT sectors in Sweden. Their business model centers on executive search and talent acquisition, supported by a growing talent network called WOOW Talents. The company leverages industry experience from former specialists and recruiting managers, positioning itself as a trusted partner for leadership hiring. The website's client testimonials and service descriptions indicate a strong customer focus and quality service delivery. The absence of WHOIS data suggests the domain may be recently registered or privacy protected, which should be monitored. The company maintains active social media presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram, supporting brand visibility and engagement.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are found. Tracking technologies are present, but privacy compliance is limited due to missing privacy and cookie policies. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended headers, publishing security policies, and enhancing privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to demonstrate security maturity and transparency.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Nuxt.js, a modern Vue.js framework, indicating a contemporary and maintainable tech stack. It uses external resources hosted on cdn.brucy.io and integrates Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight for analytics and marketing. The site loads multiple CSS and JS modules asynchronously, supporting performance optimization. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and preconnect hints to improve resource loading. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless approach. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing third-party scripts and caching strategies. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security configurations.
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.
