After conducting a thorough analysis of job applicants' user journeys, Aimeice Tech proposed a simple but effective solution: integrate job application forms directly into the company's clients' websites rather than redirecting applicants to the recruitment platform. For this, we suggested using the Inline Frame (iframe) technology—an HTML element that allows you to embed content from external websites to a specific area of a web page without merging it with your page’s HTML structure.
While the approach could potentially improve the user experience and increase the number of applications, extra measures needed to be taken to prevent cyberattacks, such as cross-site scripting (XSS), and ensure compliance with industry- and region-specific data protection regulations. Here’s how we achieved that.
Aimeice Tech implemented robust data encryption protocols to ensure that all information applicants entered into iframe forms was securely transmitted and stored in Clevergig’s private cloud infrastructure.
This task encompassed:
These steps helped our client safeguard applicant data while maintaining privacy and compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR.
To reduce security risks, Aimeice implemented the custom iframe generator as a separate service. We sandboxed the application form to ensure that any vulnerabilities in the iframe code had no direct impact on Clevergig’s corporate website or its clients' services. Furthermore, by decoupling the iframe generator from the core platform, we improved its overall security architecture.
To prevent cybercriminals from using the iframe generator to launch distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on the recruitment platform, resulting in downtime, Aimeice Tech enabled advanced DDoS protection mechanisms such as constant traffic monitoring and rate limiting. These safeguards kept the iframe service operational, allowing the embedded forms to handle large amounts of traffic without sacrificing performance or security.
Aimeice Tech meticulously planned and carried out the deployment of the iframe generator. We carried out extensive security assessments and penetration testing prior to going live to identify and correct existing vulnerabilities and potential security flaws. Our team also implemented continuous monitoring systems after deployment to detect and respond to any suspicious activity in real time.
The iframe generator not only improved the recruitment process for the HR technology company and its clients, but it also ensured the security of the websites that hosted the embedded code. By using Content Security Policy (CSP) headers, Clevergig limited the sources from which content could be loaded, preventing malicious code injection. To address emerging threats and vulnerabilities, the Aimeice Tech team continues to patch and update the iframe generator service on a regular basis.
