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

HireHop Software Ltd offers a cloud-based equipment rental software solution designed to serve rental companies globally. Their platform supports inventory management, job tracking, supplier and client management, and integrates with popular accounting software. The company positions itself as an affordable, powerful, and intuitive SaaS provider with a strong presence across multiple countries and languages. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and rich in content, providing clear pricing and contact options. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with Elementor and uses modern SEO plugins and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity. The site employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and secure form handling. However, explicit security headers are not fully implemented, and there is no published security policy or incident response contact. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates good practices with encrypted connections and no visible vulnerabilities. The absence of WHOIS domain registration data is a notable concern, potentially indicating privacy protection or a recent domain registration. Despite this, the presence of certifications, verified reviews, and partner integrations supports the legitimacy of the business. Overall, HireHop presents a credible and professional online presence with minor security and transparency improvements recommended to enhance trust and compliance.

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

3 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

  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

HireHop operates in the technology sector, specifically targeting the equipment rental industry with a SaaS business model. Their competitive advantage lies in offering a comprehensive, cloud-based rental management solution that is both affordable and feature-rich. The company targets rental businesses of all sizes, from small single users to large enterprises, with a free limited version and paid subscription tiers. Their market position is strengthened by multiple language support, global reach, and integrations with major accounting platforms like Xero, Sage, and QuickBooks. The company maintains active social media channels and has earned certifications and positive user reviews, indicating a mature and trusted product offering. Strategic partnerships with accounting software providers and marketplace listings further enhance their ecosystem and growth potential.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and secure form validation. The use of Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Microsoft Clarity is managed with consent mechanisms, supporting privacy compliance. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. There is no visible security policy or incident response information, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The missing WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration legitimacy, although the overall site content and certifications mitigate some concerns. To improve security maturity, the company should implement recommended HTTP headers, publish security policies, and consider a vulnerability disclosure program.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide dedicated incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance cookie consent mechanisms to allow granular user control over tracking and data collection.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trustworthiness.

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and Yoast SEO for search engine optimization. It leverages jQuery and integrates with multiple third-party services including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, and YouTube API for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search visibility. Performance is moderate, with some room for optimization in loading speed. The absence of explicit hosting provider information limits full infrastructure assessment. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and scalable online presence with opportunities to strengthen security and performance.
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.
