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

SmartRecruiters operates in the technology sector, focusing on SaaS-based recruiting and HR solutions. Their business model revolves around providing a comprehensive platform that covers job posting, applicant tracking, AI-powered candidate screening, and onboarding. The company leverages partnerships and integrations to extend its ecosystem, as evidenced by multiple partner portals and developer documentation. The presence of customer testimonials and case studies highlights a strong market reputation and customer satisfaction. The company targets medium to large enterprises seeking efficient and scalable hiring solutions. Their marketing strategy includes extensive use of analytics, AI, and personalized candidate engagement tools, positioning them competitively in the HR tech market.

Security posture

The website employs strong security measures including HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration, security headers, and bot protection via DataDome. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and include consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of publicly available incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure policies suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness communication. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the site content or scripts. The security score is high, reflecting a mature security posture appropriate for an enterprise SaaS provider, but adding explicit security contact points and disclosure policies would enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear incident response and security contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Highlight security certifications and compliance attestations visibly on the site to strengthen trust signals.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.
  5. Enhance WHOIS data transparency or domain registration details to improve domain legitimacy perception.

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap grid, and various marketing and analytics integrations such as Marketo, Crazy Egg, and Google Tag Manager. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features implemented. The site uses Typekit fonts and includes bot protection scripts. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence suitable for enterprise clients. Opportunities exist to optimize performance further and ensure all third-party scripts are up to date and secure.
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.
