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

Allocate Software, operating under the RLDatix brand, is a leading provider of healthcare workforce management software focused on delivering safe staffing and productivity savings to healthcare organizations. The company targets healthcare workforce managers and organizations, offering a comprehensive suite of solutions including intelligent scheduling, rostering, staff retention, temporary staffing, and communication tools. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, structured data for SEO, and integration of marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot, Drift, and Hotjar. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though explicit security headers are not detected, and no published security or incident response policies are found. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable due to an invalid domain name format, which slightly impacts trustworthiness of domain registration information. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy from a business and user perspective but could improve in security transparency and direct contact information availability.

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

2 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Allocate Software holds a strong market position in the healthcare technology sector, focusing on workforce management solutions. Their business model is B2B SaaS, serving healthcare providers primarily in the UK and internationally under the RLDatix umbrella. The company leverages partnerships and related domains for support and regional presence. The website content and navigation are well-structured, targeting healthcare professionals and decision-makers. Marketing efforts are supported by advanced tools and analytics, indicating a data-driven approach to customer engagement. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a controlled lead generation strategy via contact forms. The company appears to be large and established, with consistent branding and comprehensive service offerings.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR, indicating attention to privacy and security regulations. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party marketing and analytics scripts introduces a moderate tracking footprint, balanced by user consent mechanisms. The absence of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness perception. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in headers, policy publication, and vulnerability disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers for sales and support to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using WPBakery Page Builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a mature and widely supported platform. Integration with HubSpot, Drift, Hotjar, and Google Tag Manager shows a sophisticated marketing and analytics infrastructure. The site uses Osano for cookie consent management, ensuring GDPR compliance. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization but could benefit from further speed enhancements. Accessibility is basic, suggesting potential for improvement. The technical stack is modern but lacks explicit security headers and some advanced accessibility features. Hosting provider details are not evident from the data. Overall, the technical implementation supports business goals effectively but has opportunities for security and performance optimization.
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.
