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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  2. 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

  3. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

BrassRing holds a strong market position as a comprehensive talent acquisition platform, leveraging AI to reduce time-to-hire and improve candidate matching. Its business model is SaaS-based, focusing on enterprise clients with complex hiring workflows. The company benefits from its parent company Infinite Computer Solutions, enhancing credibility and reach. The platform's integration capabilities and global language support position it well for multinational organizations. Marketing efforts utilize advanced tracking and analytics, though transparency around data privacy could be enhanced. The absence of explicit contact emails and phone numbers on the main site suggests a preference for contact forms, typical for enterprise sales models.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and includes a Content-Security-Policy header, indicating attention to security best practices. The domain is protected with clientTransferProhibited status, but DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in security transparency and readiness. The extensive use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risks, especially without visible cookie consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  4. Add a security policy page including incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure information.
  5. Review and minimize third-party tracking scripts to reduce privacy risks and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder, leveraging a variety of JavaScript libraries and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and Hotjar. The hosting environment is likely Microsoft Azure, supporting scalability and reliability. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices via Yoast SEO plugin. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site uses advanced UI components like Swiper.js for carousels and intl-tel-input for phone inputs. Technical debt appears low, but the site could benefit from enhanced security headers and privacy compliance improvements.
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.
