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

Ekleft is a well-established IT human resources provider headquartered in Canada, with a global footprint spanning over 20 countries. The company specializes in IT staffing, recruitment, outsourcing, and consulting services, serving major clients such as NASA, Accenture, and Bridgestone. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, showcasing their extensive experience and global presence. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including Bootstrap and Google Analytics, and is hosted with a reputable registrar. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain transfer protection, but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is basic with a cookie consent banner and a privacy section, but no detailed GDPR compliance or data protection officer information is provided. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, though improvements in security and compliance documentation are recommended.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 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

Ekleft positions itself as a key player in the IT human resources sector, leveraging long-term partnerships with global enterprises and government agencies. Their business model focuses on providing specialized IT talent and dedicated development centers worldwide. The company targets large enterprises requiring complex IT staffing and consulting solutions. Their global offices and project centers indicate a strong operational infrastructure supporting diverse industries including manufacturing, retail, banking, and government. The absence of explicit financial or parent company data suggests a standalone entity with a large workforce and mature market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection enabled. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate gaps in security best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content analyzed. The company does not provide a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, which could improve transparency and incident handling. Overall, the security posture is functional but could benefit from enhancements to align with industry standards and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish detailed terms of service, security policy, and incident response information to improve transparency and compliance.
  3. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen domain name system security.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular audits to improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring Bootstrap for responsive design, Google Fonts for typography, and Google Analytics for user tracking. The CMS appears to be MODX based on asset paths. Performance is moderate with some optimization opportunities. The site is mobile optimized and has clear navigation. However, the absence of advanced SEO meta tags and limited accessibility features suggest room for technical improvement. Hosting and domain registration are stable and consistent with the company's business history.
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.
