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

KellyConnect is a business-to-business service provider specializing in contact center workforce and outsourcing solutions. The company operates as a subsidiary of Kelly Services Inc., a well-established enterprise founded in 1946 in the United States. KellyConnect offers tailored contact center optimization, managed services, and outsourcing solutions to enhance customer experience and operational efficiency for its clients. The website is professionally designed, targeting businesses seeking contact center services, and demonstrates consistent branding and good content quality. Technically, the site is built on the HubSpot CMS platform and integrates various marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Cookiebot, and Cheq for bot protection. However, the website suffers from a critical security issue: it lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not serve content over HTTPS, which significantly undermines its security posture. Other security best practices such as HTTP security headers and modern TLS protocols are also absent. Privacy compliance is well addressed with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, including GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms. Contact information is primarily available through contact forms, with no explicit emails or phone numbers found in the HTML content. Overall, while the business and content aspects are strong, the lack of HTTPS is a major risk that should be urgently addressed to protect user data and maintain trust.

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.

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

KellyConnect holds a strong market position as a specialized contact center outsourcing provider within the telecommunications sector. Its competitive advantages include decades of industry experience, a broad portfolio of managed services, and a robust partnership ecosystem with multiple subsidiary domains. The business model focuses on delivering customized workforce and outsourcing solutions to enterprise clients, leveraging technology platforms like HubSpot for marketing and customer engagement. Revenue streams likely derive from service contracts and managed solutions. The company targets mid to large enterprises requiring scalable contact center operations. Growth indicators include active content marketing, case studies, and a clear call to action for consultations and job applications. The partnership ecosystem includes related Kelly Services domains, enhancing cross-domain consent and unified branding. Strategic observations highlight the need for improved security infrastructure to align with the company's professional market presence.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of KellyConnect's website is low due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS enforcement, exposing users to potential data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. No HTTP security headers were detected, and the site does not support modern TLS protocols or session resumption, further weakening its security posture. While no malware or phishing indicators were found, the lack of secure transport is a critical vulnerability. The site employs Cookiebot for cookie consent management and Cheq for bot protection, indicating some awareness of security and privacy best practices. However, there is no evidence of published security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Compliance with GDPR is supported through privacy and cookie policies, but the technical security gaps pose significant risks. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the website content.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated protocols.
  4. Establish and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure they are up to date and free from vulnerabilities.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted with DNS managed by MarkMonitor and uses HubSpot CMS as its platform, integrating multiple JavaScript libraries including jQuery, AOS, Slick Carousel, and Cookiebot for consent management. Performance is moderate to slow with a load time of approximately 7.5 seconds and a page size of 584 KB. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility features and SEO meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. However, the lack of HTTPS and security headers represents a significant technical debt and risk. The extensive use of third-party advertising and tracking services increases complexity and potential privacy concerns. Modernization opportunities include upgrading security infrastructure, optimizing performance, and enhancing security best practices to align with enterprise standards.
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.
