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 based in the United Kingdom. The company offers a comprehensive suite of solutions focused on intelligent scheduling, rostering, staff retention, temporary staffing, and workforce engagement, targeting healthcare organizations to improve safe staffing and productivity. The website reflects a mature and professional digital presence consistent with a large enterprise in the healthcare technology sector. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS with modern plugins such as WPBakery Page Builder and Yoast SEO, integrated with marketing and analytics tools including HubSpot, Drift, Hotjar, and Osano for cookie consent management. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO practices, and moderate performance, indicating a well-maintained technical infrastructure. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with an excellent SSL configuration and employs a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations. However, explicit security headers are not fully evident, and no public security policy or incident response information is published. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content, suggesting a solid security posture but with room for improvement in transparency and header implementation. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, with no blocking or WAF challenges detected. The absence of WHOIS data for the exact 'www' subdomain is due to domain naming rules, but the main domain and website content align well with the company's identity. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, and adding vulnerability disclosure information 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

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 as a specialized B2B software provider in the healthcare workforce management sector. Their business model focuses on delivering software solutions that address critical operational needs in healthcare staffing and workforce planning. The company targets healthcare organizations, including medical, nursing, allied health professionals, care homes, and private hospitals. The presence of multiple regional and partner domains indicates a broad geographic footprint and partnership ecosystem. The website content and structure support a professional brand image with clear service offerings and resource centers, facilitating customer engagement and lead generation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism via Osano, supporting GDPR compliance. The absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests an opportunity for improvement. No incident response or security policy pages were found, which could enhance transparency and preparedness. The integration of third-party marketing and analytics tools is managed with consent, but continuous monitoring for vulnerabilities in these components is recommended. Overall, the security posture is good but could be elevated by adopting additional best practices and publishing relevant security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and stakeholder trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program 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. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize security risks and maintain 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.
