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

PERBILITY GmbH is a German technology company specializing in innovative personnel management software, notably their HELIX platform. The company positions itself as a hub for coders and problem solvers, targeting HR professionals and organizations seeking to unlock hidden potential within their workforce. Their market position is that of an innovative HR solution provider with a medium-sized operation based in Germany. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides clear contact information, enhancing trust and credibility. Technically, the website is built using the Hugo static site generator, leveraging modern CSS and JavaScript assets, and integrates Matomo analytics for user tracking. Hosting is managed via reputable German nameservers (noris.ch, noris.de, noris.net), indicating a stable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks visible security headers and does not provide explicit security or incident response policies. Privacy compliance is limited due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies, which is a notable gap given GDPR requirements. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security transparency to improve its risk posture 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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  2. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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

PERBILITY operates in the HR technology sector, offering SaaS solutions focused on personnel potential discovery and management. Their key competitive advantage lies in their innovative HELIX software, which is actively promoted on their site and linked domains. The business model revolves around software licensing and consulting services, targeting HR departments and organizations in Germany. The company maintains a medium size with over 190 employees, indicating a stable growth trajectory. Partnerships, such as with mein-helix.de, support their product ecosystem. The website content and branding consistently reflect their market positioning and target audience, emphasizing recruitment and team culture.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The site enforces HTTPS and avoids common pitfalls like exposed credentials or vulnerable libraries. However, the lack of security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and absence of published security policies or incident response plans indicate room for improvement. GDPR compliance is incomplete due to missing privacy and cookie policies. No explicit channels for security incident reporting or vulnerability disclosure are provided, which could hinder timely response to threats. The use of Matomo analytics suggests some privacy-conscious tracking, but overall data protection practices need strengthening to meet regulatory standards fully.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Establish and publicize an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure process, including security contact emails.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern static site generator (Hugo), which supports fast and secure content delivery. The tech stack includes CSS frameworks and JavaScript libraries for UI components and analytics integration via Matomo. Hosting is managed through reputable German providers, ensuring reliable uptime and performance. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the absence of advanced accessibility features and security headers suggests technical debt in these areas. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times and resource management.
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.
