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

Talentech operates a mature and well-established recruitment and HR platform serving over 2500 customers and 600,000 users. The company positions itself as a leading provider of unified HR solutions with a focus on data-driven decision making and ease of use for managers. The website is professionally designed, content-rich, and supports multiple languages, reflecting a medium-sized technology business with over 20 years of experience. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries and performance optimizations, though the absence of a valid SSL certificate is a critical security shortfall. Security posture is weak due to lack of HTTPS and missing security headers, which poses risks to user data confidentiality and trust. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant, supporting regulatory adherence. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, indicating legitimacy. Strategic improvements in security infrastructure are recommended to enhance 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

6 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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: LinkedIn, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Talentech targets growing businesses and HR professionals with a SaaS model offering recruitment, onboarding, HR management, and AI-powered tools. Its competitive advantage lies in an all-in-one platform that simplifies HR processes and leverages secure AI and real-time data. The company has a strong market position supported by a large user base and extensive customer testimonials. Partnerships and integrations extend its ecosystem, enhancing value. The business model focuses on subscription revenue with flexible implementation timelines. The website content and structure reflect a mature digital presence with clear branding and consistent messaging.

Security posture

The current security posture is suboptimal due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support. This exposes users to potential data interception and undermines trust. No security headers such as HSTS or CSP are implemented, and OCSP stapling is disabled, reducing certificate validation efficiency. DNSSEC is not enabled, increasing DNS spoofing risk. Session resumption mechanisms are missing, potentially impacting performance and security. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, indicating limited transparency in security management. Despite these gaps, no known vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. Immediate remediation of SSL and security headers is critical to protect user data and comply with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement security headers including HSTS, Content Security Policy, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Enable DNSSEC to protect DNS integrity and prevent spoofing attacks.
  4. Configure OCSP stapling to improve certificate revocation checking performance.
  5. Develop and publish an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance transparency and trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Slick Slider, and FontAwesome icons. Performance optimizations are applied via WP Rocket lazy loading and minification. Google Tag Manager and Google Optimize are integrated for analytics and marketing. The site supports multiple languages and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. Hosting is provided by GoDaddy.com, LLC. The page load time is moderate (~5.5 seconds) with a page size of ~270 KB and 95 resources loaded. Accessibility and mobile optimization are basic to good but could be improved. The lack of HTTPS is a major technical risk. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but requires security upgrades and some accessibility enhancements.
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.
