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

OnApply is a German-based SaaS company specializing in recruiting and applicant management software designed to streamline the hiring process for businesses. Founded in 2012, it offers a comprehensive platform that includes job posting management, applicant tracking, interview scheduling, analytics, and team collaboration tools. The company positions itself as an easy-to-use solution for HR professionals and recruiters, with a strong emphasis on GDPR compliance and data security. The website reflects a mature digital presence with positive user ratings and clear business information. Technically, OnApply leverages modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, Amazon AWS hosting, Google Tag Manager, and Cloudflare Turnstile captcha for security. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, indicating a high level of digital maturity. The use of structured data and comprehensive metadata supports SEO and user experience. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS, employs bot protection, and provides cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. While explicit security headers are not fully confirmed, the overall posture is strong with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of a public vulnerability disclosure or incident response contact is noted. Overall, OnApply presents a low-risk profile with a professional and trustworthy online presence. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security header implementation, publishing vulnerability disclosure policies, and improving transparency on data retention and incident response to further strengthen 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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      • 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

OnApply operates in the competitive HR technology sector, targeting small to medium-sized enterprises seeking efficient recruiting solutions. Its SaaS model generates revenue through subscription plans, offering free trials and personalized consultations. The company differentiates itself with a broad job portal network (300+ portals) and integrated interview scheduling, addressing common pain points in recruitment. Positive customer reviews and a consistent brand image support market credibility. The presence on multiple social media platforms and a regularly updated blog indicate active engagement and content marketing strategies. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, suggesting an independent operation focused on organic growth and customer-centric innovation.

Security posture

The security maturity of OnApply is solid, with HTTPS enforced and modern bot protection via Cloudflare Turnstile. Cookie consent is implemented with an opt-in mechanism, supporting GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the website content. However, the lack of explicit security headers like X-Frame-Options and a public vulnerability disclosure policy represents areas for improvement. Incident response readiness is not publicly documented, which could delay mitigation in case of security incidents. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve readiness and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Enhance transparency on data retention policies and user privacy practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS, hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure, and uses modern front-end technologies including Typekit fonts and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tag management. Performance optimizations such as font-display swap and DNS prefetch/preconnect are implemented. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features like focus outlines and ARIA roles. The use of A/B testing tools (Optibase) and form management (StudioForm) indicates a data-driven approach to UX. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. The infrastructure and technology choices support scalability and maintainability.
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.
