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

PeopleGoal is a well-established HR software platform founded in 2014, offering customizable solutions for employee performance management, engagement, and talent development. Positioned as a SaaS provider, it serves businesses seeking to improve productivity and culture through flexible goal setting, feedback, and survey tools. The company is a subsidiary of ProProfs, a recognized software provider with multiple related product offerings. The website demonstrates strong branding, professional design, and comprehensive content targeting HR professionals and business decision-makers. Technically, the website uses modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager for analytics, Cloudflare for DNS and likely CDN services, and optimized web fonts. The site is mobile responsive, accessible, and performs well with fast loading times. SEO best practices are evident through structured data and meta tags. However, no explicit CMS was detected. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced, domain locking via registrar status codes, and no visible sensitive data exposure. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap. The site lacks visible security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are recommended for enhanced trust and compliance. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and business credible. Privacy and cookie policies are not explicitly found, which impacts privacy compliance scoring. The site is safe for general audiences with no adult or questionable content. Strategic recommendations include publishing clear privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, enabling DNSSEC, and adding security and incident response disclosures to improve compliance and user 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.

Priority findings

5 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
    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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

PeopleGoal operates in the HR technology sector, focusing on performance management and employee engagement software. Its SaaS business model targets medium to large enterprises seeking customizable HR solutions. The company leverages its parent company ProProfs' ecosystem, linking to related training, knowledge base, quiz maker, and help desk products, indicating a diversified product portfolio. The presence of customer logos and case studies suggests a strong market presence and customer trust. The pricing model is transparent with per-user monthly fees and minimum charges, supporting predictable revenue streams. The website's content and navigation are designed to attract HR professionals and business leaders, emphasizing productivity gains and culture building. Partnerships with ProProfs and related domains strengthen its market positioning and cross-selling opportunities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain registration locked against unauthorized changes. Use of Cloudflare DNS provides additional resilience, though DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a potential area for improvement. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure pages were found, limiting transparency for security researchers. The absence of explicit security policies and incident response contacts reduces clarity on how security incidents are handled. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics, which requires careful configuration to avoid privacy leaks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing security policies, enabling DNSSEC, and providing incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements and consent mechanisms.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add a security policy page and incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  4. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and Google Tag Manager configurations to ensure no privacy or security risks.

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.
