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

Tellent is a mature technology company founded in 2005, specializing in HR software solutions including applicant tracking systems (ATS), human resource information systems (HRIS), and performance management tools. Their platform targets HR professionals and businesses seeking to streamline recruitment and employee management processes. The company positions itself as a comprehensive people decision platform with a strong focus on compliance and integration capabilities. Technically, the website is built on HubSpot CMS, leveraging modern marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight, and Usercentrics for cookie consent. Hosting is provided via AWS with Cloudfront CDN, ensuring reliable performance and scalability. Security posture is solid with HTTPS, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms, though DNSSEC is not enabled, representing an area for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The website demonstrates excellent design quality, user experience, and content relevance, supporting high trustworthiness. However, direct company contact emails and phone numbers are not prominently displayed, relying mainly on contact forms. Overall, Tellent presents a professional and credible online presence with room to enhance transparency around security policies and incident response.

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 in the HR technology sector with a SaaS business model, offering integrated solutions for recruitment, HR management, and employee performance. Their market positioning leverages comprehensive product suites and strategic partnerships, notably with Recruitee and a dedicated marketplace for integrations. The company targets medium-sized businesses and HR teams, emphasizing compliance and automation. Their digital maturity is evidenced by the use of HubSpot for CMS and marketing automation, alongside extensive analytics and tracking implementations. The partnership ecosystem includes solution, technology, and service partners, enhancing their market reach and product capabilities. Growth indicators include acquisitions (e.g., FunnelBridge) and a broad product portfolio. The business model focuses on subscription revenue streams with value-added services and integrations. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in platform expansion and partner collaboration to maintain competitive advantage.

Security posture

Tellent's security maturity is good, with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented to protect against common web vulnerabilities. The presence of cookie consent mechanisms indicates awareness of privacy regulations such as GDPR. No direct evidence of security policies or incident response procedures is published on the website, which is a gap in transparency and readiness communication. The absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security robustness. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected in the scripts analyzed. The website does not expose sensitive data or credentials. However, the lack of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file limits external reporting channels for security issues. Overall, the security posture supports business continuity and data protection but would benefit from enhanced policy publication and DNS security improvements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and trust.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance visibility of direct company contact information for security and compliance inquiries.

The website is built on the HubSpot CMS platform, utilizing jQuery and various marketing and analytics scripts including Google Tag Manager and LinkedIn Insight. Hosting is via AWS with Cloudfront CDN, providing a scalable and reliable infrastructure. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features, with valid meta tags and SEO best practices implemented. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the number of external scripts and integrations. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, supporting the business's digital marketing and operational needs. Opportunities exist to optimize performance further by reducing script load and enabling DNSSEC for enhanced security. The technical implementation aligns well with the company's business objectives and market positioning.
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.
