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. 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.pageuppeople.com points to unregistered service shared-25337017.ap-southeast-2.elb.amazonaws.com

      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
      • NIST CM-8: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-8: System Component Inventory

  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. 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

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

PageUp operates in the technology sector, specializing in SaaS talent acquisition and HR management solutions. Its market position is strong, supported by a broad portfolio of integrated products and services designed to streamline recruitment and employee management processes. The company leverages partnerships and integrations, as evidenced by the marketplace offerings and customer logos from reputable organizations. Revenue streams likely include subscription-based SaaS licenses and professional services. The target customer segments are mid-market to enterprise organizations across various industries, with a focus on sectors requiring scalable and configurable recruitment solutions. The company demonstrates growth orientation through AI enhancements and continuous product innovation. Strategic observations include a well-developed marketing ecosystem and a focus on data-driven decision-making via analytics products.

Security posture

PageUp exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a dedicated security information page. The presence of cookie consent mechanisms indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file suggest areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Incident response contact information is not explicitly provided, which could hinder rapid response to security events. Compliance with GDPR is implied but not explicitly documented via a privacy policy. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing GDPR compliance and data handling practices.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Bootstrap 4.6 and jQuery 3.7.1, indicating a modern and widely supported technology stack. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Visual Website Optimizer, Pardot, Demandbase, LinkedIn Insight, Facebook Pixel, ZoomInfo WebSights, and Leadlander, reflecting a sophisticated digital marketing infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The site uses CDN resources for fonts and scripts, enhancing load times. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring. The absence of WHOIS data and domain registration details is a technical anomaly that should be investigated further.
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.
