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

Compdata Surveys & Consulting operates as a specialized provider of compensation data surveys and consulting services, targeting HR professionals and business managers seeking salary and compensation insights. The company appears to be a division or brand under Dolan Technologies Corporation, with a well-established domain since 2008. The website is professionally designed with a focus on usability and business-oriented content, though it lacks some modern privacy and security features such as cookie consent mechanisms and explicit security headers. Technically, the site leverages AngularJS and several modern JavaScript libraries including D3.js and Quill for rich UI and data visualization. The presence of Intercom indicates active user engagement and support capabilities. However, the site could improve in mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience further. From a security perspective, the website uses HTTPS and has domain registration protections in place, but lacks DNSSEC and visible security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are provided, limiting transparency. The privacy policy is present but basic, and no cookie policy or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are evident. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile with good business credibility but room for improvement in security and privacy compliance. Strategic enhancements in these areas would strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

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

4 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. 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

  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

The company positions itself in a niche market providing compensation data and consulting services, likely generating revenue through subscription or consulting fees. Its affiliation with Salary.com and Dolan Technologies suggests a strong partnership ecosystem and market credibility. The business model is B2B focused, targeting HR and compensation professionals. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized operation with consistent branding and a professional online presence. Growth indicators include integration of modern web technologies and user engagement tools like Intercom. However, the lack of direct contact details and limited privacy features may impact customer trust and conversion rates.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate. The use of HTTPS and domain registration locks are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options exposes the site to potential risks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is provided, which limits transparency and preparedness. Data collection is primarily through forms and Intercom chat, but no explicit cookie consent or GDPR compliance mechanisms are evident. The site should prioritize implementing security best practices and compliance frameworks to reduce risk and enhance user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with privacy regulations.
  4. Provide direct contact information such as company emails and phone numbers to improve transparency.
  5. Develop and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact details.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on AngularJS with supporting libraries like D3.js for data visualization and Quill for rich text editing. Bootstrap and FontAwesome provide styling and icons. The site uses Intercom for live chat support. Hosting details are not explicit but domain registrar is GoDaddy. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in mobile responsiveness and accessibility. SEO is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The site lacks a CMS and appears custom-built. Technical debt may exist due to AngularJS usage, which is an older framework. Modernization opportunities include upgrading to newer frameworks and enhancing accessibility and SEO features.
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.
