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

Keka Technologies Private Limited operates a leading cloud-based HR and Payroll software platform primarily serving businesses in India and the US. Founded in 2014, Keka offers a comprehensive suite of HR management tools including payroll automation, performance management, hiring and onboarding, timesheet and project management, and attendance tracking. The company positions itself as a people-centric SaaS provider enabling organizations to build engaged and high-performance cultures. Technically, the website leverages modern frameworks like Bootstrap and Swiper.js, integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and HubSpot, and uses AWS Cloudfront for content delivery, ensuring fast and mobile-optimized user experience. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and certifications including ISO 27001 and SOC, though the absence of a public vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact is noted. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is typical for commercial SaaS businesses, but limits transparency on domain age and registrant details. Overall, Keka demonstrates a mature digital presence with robust business credibility and security practices.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Potential Subdomain Takeover

      Subdomain api.keka.com points to unregistered service app-kekahr-old-kapi-prod-cin-01.azurewebsites.net

      What to do: Remove or fix CNAME record to prevent subdomain takeover

      • WSTG-CONF-10
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Keka holds a strong market position as a leading HRMS and payroll software provider in India with over 10,000 organizations using its platform. Its SaaS business model targets SMEs to large enterprises, focusing on technology and service sectors. The company benefits from a comprehensive product portfolio addressing critical HR functions, supported by certifications and a strong social media presence. The website content and customer testimonials reinforce trust and brand consistency. Keka's partnerships with event platforms like Airmeet and integrations with popular tools enhance its ecosystem. The company’s growth is supported by a clear focus on employee experience and compliance, positioning it well against competitors in the HR technology space.

Security posture

Keka’s website employs strong security measures including HTTPS, multiple security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR compliance. Certifications such as ISO 27001 and SOC indicate a mature security framework. The use of reputable analytics and marketing scripts is balanced with privacy considerations. However, the lack of a public vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file and absence of explicit incident response contact details represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. Overall, the security posture is robust for a SaaS provider, supporting business continuity and customer trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate supply chain risks.
  4. Enhance data retention policy disclosures related to analytics and user data for improved privacy compliance.
  5. Continue to maintain and update security certifications and compliance frameworks to align with evolving regulations.

It integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, HubSpot, and Factors.ai, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy.

The technical implementation supports a professional and scalable SaaS business presence.
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.
