Risk levelLow

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

JazzHR is a medium-sized technology company specializing in AI-powered recruitment software tailored for small to medium sized businesses. Their SaaS platform streamlines hiring processes, offering applicant tracking, candidate sourcing, and collaborative hiring tools. The company is positioned as a recognized leader in the SMB recruitment software market, supported by awards and strong customer testimonials. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern performance optimizations and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Marketo, and Plausible Analytics. Security posture is solid with multiple security headers and HSTS enabled, but the lack of enabled TLS protocols and missing DNSSEC and security.txt indicate areas for improvement. Overall, JazzHR demonstrates a mature digital presence with good privacy and compliance practices, though security transparency and incident response readiness could be enhanced.

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.

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

JazzHR operates in the competitive recruitment technology sector, targeting SMBs and lean recruiting teams. Their business model is subscription-based SaaS, generating revenue through licensing their applicant tracking system and related hiring tools. The company benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem including integrations with Lever and Jobvite, enhancing their market reach. Growth indicators include recent awards and a comprehensive content library. Their marketing strategy leverages multiple tracking and retargeting services, indicating a data-driven approach to customer acquisition. The parent company, Employ Inc., provides additional corporate stability and resources. JazzHR's focus on ease of use and AI-powered features positions them well against competitors in the recruitment software space.

Security posture

JazzHR's website employs several security best practices including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options headers, which help mitigate common web vulnerabilities. The SSL certificate is valid and issued by Amazon RSA, but no TLS protocols are currently enabled, which is a critical security gap. DNSSEC is not enabled, and CAA records appear misconfigured, reducing domain security. There is no publicly visible security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in encryption protocols and security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher protocols to ensure secure encrypted communications.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact details.
  3. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  4. Correct and maintain CAA DNS records to restrict certificate issuance.
  5. Review and tighten Content-Security-Policy to reduce use of 'unsafe-inline' and 'unsafe-eval' directives.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure, leveraging WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Vimeo Player, and multiple marketing and analytics integrations. Performance optimizations such as lazy loading and deferred script loading are implemented, resulting in fast page load times. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. Accessibility and mobile optimization are good, supporting a wide user base. Technical debt appears low, but the disabled TLS protocols represent a significant risk. Opportunities exist to modernize security configurations and improve domain-level protections. The use of multiple third-party marketing tools requires ongoing privacy and compliance monitoring.
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.
