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. 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"

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

RippleMatch operates in the competitive AI recruitment technology market, leveraging partnerships with notable employers such as eBay, Reddit, EY, and MongoDB to enhance its service offering. The business model focuses on providing value to both candidates and employers through AI-powered matching and streamlined hiring processes. The company was founded in 2017, consistent with the domain registration date, and maintains a medium-sized operational scale. The platform's use of advanced marketing and tracking tools indicates a data-driven approach to customer acquisition and engagement. However, the absence of explicit contact information and detailed privacy policies may limit transparency for some users. The company’s testimonials and featured employer logos serve as strong trust indicators, supporting its market credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses domain transfer lock status, which are positive security indicators. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options were not explicitly detected in the provided content. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, supporting privacy compliance efforts. The lack of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program suggests room for improvement in security transparency and incident readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing additional security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  4. Add a security policy page including incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure information.
  5. Provide clear company contact information including support emails and phone numbers to enhance transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on HubSpot CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and marketing integrations such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag. It uses Slick Carousel for UI components and embeds videos via Vimeo. The domain is managed with DNSimple and registered through 1API GmbH. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack reflects a mature marketing-focused platform with room for improvement in security header implementation and DNS security.
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.
