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

Tellent is a technology company specializing in modular HR software solutions including ATS, HRIS, and performance management tools. Positioned as a people decision platform, it serves over 7000 businesses globally with a presence in more than 100 countries. The company emphasizes simplifying HR administrative tasks and enabling smarter, faster decisions for HR teams. Technically, the website is built on HubSpot CMS, leveraging modern web technologies and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Mixpanel, and Usercentrics for consent management. The SSL configuration is good with support for TLS 1.3 and OCSP stapling, and security policies like SPF and DMARC are properly set, though DNSSEC and HSTS are not enabled, indicating room for security enhancements. Overall, the website demonstrates strong branding, comprehensive content, and a mature digital presence but suffers from slow performance due to large page size and numerous third-party scripts. Strategic improvements in security headers and performance optimization are recommended to enhance trust and user experience.

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

    • 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

  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 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 targeting HR teams and people leaders. Its competitive advantage lies in offering a unified platform that covers the entire employee lifecycle from recruitment to performance management, supported by AI-driven automation. The company maintains a robust partner ecosystem including technology, service, and solution partners, enhancing its market reach and integration capabilities. The presence of a vulnerability disclosure program and GDPR-compliant privacy policies reflects a commitment to security and compliance. Growth indicators include a large customer base, extensive global presence, and a wide range of integrations. The company’s strategic focus on AI and automation positions it well for future market demands.

Security posture

Tellent exhibits a moderate to strong security posture with key strengths including valid SPF and DMARC records with a reject policy, use of TLS 1.3 and 1.2 protocols, and OCSP stapling enabled for certificate status checking. However, the absence of DNSSEC and HSTS headers reduces DNS and transport layer security. The SSL certificate is valid but not compliant with certificate transparency requirements. The website includes a vulnerability disclosure program, indicating proactive security management. No critical vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed, FREAK, or Logjam were detected. Incident response contact channels are available via a dedicated security page. Overall, while the security configuration is solid, implementing DNSSEC, HSTS, and CAA records would further strengthen the security posture and compliance with evolving standards like NIS2 and GDPR.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS and protect against downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to secure DNS queries and prevent DNS spoofing or cache poisoning.
  3. Add Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) DNS records to restrict which CAs can issue certificates for the domain.
  4. Achieve certificate transparency compliance to improve trust and detect mis-issuance of certificates.
  5. Optimize website performance by reducing page size and limiting third-party scripts to improve load times and user experience.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure with Cloudflare SSL termination, ensuring reliable and secure hosting. It uses HubSpot CMS as the content management platform, integrating various marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Mixpanel, and Usercentrics for GDPR-compliant consent management. The site supports modern TLS protocols (1.3 and 1.2) with OCSP stapling enabled, but lacks DNSSEC and HSTS headers. Performance metrics indicate a slow load time (~11.6 seconds) and a large page size (~1.28 MB) with over 200 resources loaded, suggesting potential technical debt and optimization opportunities. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and supports multiple languages via hreflang tags. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced security header implementation.
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.
