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

Bullhorn is a leading enterprise software provider specializing in staffing and recruiting solutions. Their platform offers a comprehensive applicant tracking system (ATS), customer relationship management (CRM), recruitment automation, onboarding, and analytics services tailored for recruiting agencies and staffing firms. The company positions itself as a market leader with a strong focus on automating the recruiting lifecycle to increase placements. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional branding and extensive use of structured data for SEO. Technically, Bullhorn's website is built on WordPress and leverages modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Marketo marketing automation, and a performance CDN. The site is well-optimized for SEO, mobile responsive, and includes accessibility features. Privacy compliance is robust with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent managed by OneTrust. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and integrates security best practices such as asynchronous loading of third-party scripts and cookie consent mechanisms. However, explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not clearly present in the HTML source, and no public security or incident response policies were found. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces trust but the professional site and strong branding mitigate concerns. Overall, Bullhorn's website demonstrates a high level of professionalism, technical maturity, and privacy compliance. The main risk area is the lack of publicly available WHOIS data and explicit security policies, which should be addressed to enhance trust and transparency.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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

Bullhorn operates in the technology sector, focusing on SaaS solutions for staffing and recruiting agencies. Their business model centers on subscription-based software services that streamline recruitment processes. The company targets medium to large staffing firms seeking to improve efficiency and placement rates. Bullhorn's market position is strong, supported by a comprehensive product suite and a global presence indicated by multiple localized website versions. The company leverages partnerships and integrations with marketing and analytics platforms to enhance customer acquisition and retention. Growth indicators include active marketing automation, extensive social media engagement, and continuous product innovation. No direct parent or subsidiary companies were identified from the website content.

Security posture

Bullhorn's website security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and use of reputable third-party services for analytics and marketing. The presence of a cookie consent banner indicates awareness of privacy regulations such as GDPR. However, the absence of explicit security headers in the HTML source and lack of a published security policy or incident response contact are gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The WHOIS data unavailability is a minor concern but does not directly impact site security. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing security policies and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance WHOIS transparency if possible to improve domain trustworthiness.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Marketo, and a performance CDN. It uses asynchronous script loading to optimize performance and includes SEO best practices such as structured data (JSON-LD) and meta tags. The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with a clean and professional design. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple third-party scripts. Hosting details are not explicit but the use of CDN and cloud services suggests a scalable infrastructure. Technical risks include dependency on third-party marketing and analytics tools which require regular security reviews.
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.
