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

50skills operates a modern SaaS platform focused on streamlining recruitment and hiring processes for HR managers. Their product, 50hire, offers applicant tracking, sourcing, customizable pipelines, and integrations with popular collaboration tools like Slack and Workplace. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides comprehensive resources including help centers, video tutorials, and security documentation. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain www.50hire.com raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, although the website content and branding are consistent and trustworthy. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, GDPR compliance, and security features like SSO and 2FA, but the lack of a cookie consent mechanism is a minor compliance gap.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  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
  • 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

50skills positions itself as a key player in the HR technology sector, targeting modern HR managers seeking efficient hiring solutions. Their business model is SaaS-based with a focus on applicant tracking and recruitment automation. The company has established trust through partnerships and testimonials from notable clients such as Dominos, IKEA, and CCP Games. Their ecosystem includes multiple related domains for support, administration, and marketplace integrations, indicating a mature product suite. The lack of explicit contact information on the main site suggests a focus on self-service and digital engagement. The company appears medium-sized with a strong digital presence and a clear growth trajectory in the HR tech market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, detailed security policies, and support for advanced authentication methods like Single Sign-On and two-factor authentication. GDPR compliance is addressed with a dedicated privacy policy and data processing agreements. However, the absence of a cookie consent banner and no publicly available incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policy indicate areas for improvement. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a notable risk factor, potentially impacting trust and domain ownership verification. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with transparency around incident response and cookie management.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent mechanism to ensure full compliance with privacy regulations.
  2. Publish a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information on the website for transparency and trust.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration details to improve legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Continue enhancing security features and maintain regular audits to uphold GDPR and data protection standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Fonts, jQuery, and Google Tag Manager for analytics. Hosting is via Webflow's CDN, ensuring fast load times and global availability. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with clean semantic HTML and structured navigation. Integration with video hosting (Wistia) and external help resources enhances user experience. No major technical debts or outdated libraries were detected. The technical infrastructure supports scalability and ease of maintenance, positioning the company well for future growth.
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.
