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

Tellent is a technology company specializing in human resources software solutions, including applicant tracking systems (ATS), human resource information systems (HRIS), and performance management tools. Founded in 2005, the company has established itself as a medium-sized player in the HR technology market, offering integrated platforms that streamline recruitment and employee management processes. Their recent acquisition of FunnelBridge enhances their capabilities in WhatsApp Hiring integration, reflecting a commitment to innovation and market expansion. The website is professionally designed, leveraging HubSpot CMS and modern marketing technologies to deliver a user-friendly experience targeted at HR professionals and businesses seeking efficient people management solutions. Technically, the site is hosted on AWS Cloudfront, uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration, and implements security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, indicating a solid security posture. However, some legacy libraries like jQuery 1.7.1 are in use, suggesting room for modernization. Privacy policies and cookie consent are present and GDPR compliant, but explicit security and incident response policies are not published. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business profile, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

4 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  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

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Tellent operates a SaaS business model focused on HR and recruitment technology, targeting HR departments, recruiters, and enterprises seeking to optimize their people management workflows. Their product suite includes ATS, HRIS, performance management, and employee engagement tools, positioning them competitively in the HR tech sector. The company maintains a partner ecosystem including solution partners, technology partners, and service partners, enhancing their market reach and integration capabilities. Their marketplace hosts over 200 integrations, reflecting a broad ecosystem approach. The presence of a careers subdomain and active blog indicates ongoing growth and engagement with their community. The company’s long domain age and consistent WHOIS data reinforce their established market presence. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for their SaaS offerings and possibly professional services through partners.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy, and implementation of cookie consent via Usercentrics. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable scripts were detected in the analysis. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version (1.7.1) could pose potential security risks if not properly mitigated. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended enhancement for DNS security. Overall, the site is secure for typical business operations but could improve by updating legacy libraries, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing formal security and incident response policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the tellent.com domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Upgrade legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.7.1 to the latest stable versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on HubSpot CMS, leveraging its marketing and analytics tools, including HubSpot Analytics and Usercentrics for consent management. Hosting is via AWS Cloudfront CDN, providing reliable global content delivery. The site uses Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel for tracking and marketing purposes. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The HTML and CSS are valid and well-structured, though the use of an older jQuery version indicates some technical debt. The site includes multiple external integrations and partner links, reflecting a mature digital ecosystem. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence but would benefit from modernization of some components.
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.
