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

Lever Partner Ecosystem, operated by Employ Inc., is a specialized marketplace platform that connects HR professionals and recruiters with a curated ecosystem of HR technology and service providers. The platform emphasizes seamless integrations with leading recruiting tools and offers a centralized hub for discovering and connecting with preferred partners. The business targets HR and recruiting professionals seeking to optimize their hiring workflows through technology integrations. The company positions itself as an industry leader with preferred partnerships and a growing partner ecosystem. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS and leverages a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Owl Carousel, and other UI libraries. Hosting is provided via Amazon AWS infrastructure. The site demonstrates good performance and mobile optimization, with basic accessibility and SEO optimizations in place. Analytics are implemented using Google Analytics and Plausible Analytics, with marketing tools such as Marketo for lead management. From a security perspective, the site employs several important HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection. However, the SSL/TLS configuration is outdated, lacking support for TLS 1.2 or higher, and HSTS is not fully enabled. No cookie consent mechanism or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, indicating areas for compliance and security improvement. Privacy and terms of service policies are linked to parent or partner company domains, reflecting a shared governance model. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy front for a mid-sized technology marketplace business. Key risks include outdated TLS protocols and lack of explicit cookie consent, which should be addressed to enhance security posture and regulatory compliance. Strategic improvements in incident response transparency and accessibility would further strengthen the platform's trustworthiness and user experience.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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

Lever Partner Ecosystem operates as a marketplace platform within the HR technology sector, focusing on integrating various recruiting and HR service providers. The business model centers on facilitating connections between HR professionals and technology vendors, generating value through preferred partnerships and a curated ecosystem. The company benefits from strategic alliances with notable partners such as JazzHR, Lever, Jobvite, and NXTThing RPO, enhancing its market position and reach. Revenue streams likely include partner listings, integrations, and possibly referral or subscription fees. The target customer segments are HR departments, recruiters, and enterprises seeking streamlined hiring workflows. Growth indicators include a well-maintained partner directory and active marketing via social media and analytics-driven campaigns. The partnership ecosystem is a critical asset, supporting competitive advantages through integration breadth and preferred status. Operationally, the company leverages WordPress for content management and AWS for hosting, balancing cost and scalability.

Security posture

The current security posture of the Lever Partner Ecosystem website is moderate with several strengths and notable gaps. The implementation of multiple security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection demonstrates awareness of web security best practices. The SSL certificate is valid and issued by a reputable authority (Amazon RSA 2048 M02). However, the absence of TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3 support is a significant vulnerability, exposing the site to potential downgrade attacks and weaker encryption. HSTS is configured but not enabled, missing an opportunity to enforce HTTPS strictly. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism and no visible vulnerability disclosure or incident response information indicate compliance and transparency deficiencies. Privacy and terms policies are hosted on related company domains, suggesting shared responsibility but also potential gaps in direct governance. Overall, the site would benefit from upgrading TLS protocols, enabling full HSTS, implementing cookie consent, and publishing clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve security maturity and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade SSL/TLS configuration to support TLS 1.2 or higher to ensure strong encryption and protect against downgrade attacks.
  2. Enable and enforce HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload directives to prevent protocol downgrade and cookie hijacking.
  3. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and enhance user trust.
  4. Publish a clear vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and security posture.
  5. Enhance website accessibility compliance and provide direct contact information to improve user experience and trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform, utilizing a combination of JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Bootstrap, Owl Carousel, Popper.js, Tippy.js, Wow.js, and Mmenu.js to deliver a responsive and interactive user experience. Hosting is provided by Amazon AWS, ensuring scalable and reliable infrastructure. Performance metrics indicate fast load times, although no explicit resource counts or page size data were available. Mobile optimization is good, supported by responsive design and Google Fonts integration. SEO is enhanced through Yoast SEO plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format, improving search engine visibility. However, technical debt is evident in outdated TLS protocols and lack of cookie consent implementation. Modernization opportunities include upgrading security protocols, enhancing accessibility features, and streamlining analytics and marketing scripts to reduce tracking footprint and improve privacy compliance.
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.
