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 technology, serving medium-sized enterprises and HR teams. Their competitive advantage lies in an integrated platform combining recruitment, HR management, and performance tools, enhanced by partnerships and a marketplace ecosystem. The company leverages HubSpot for marketing and customer engagement, indicating a strong inbound strategy. Their multilingual support and comprehensive resource offerings suggest a global or multi-regional target market. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage indicates a preference for controlled lead capture via forms. Strategic partnerships with domains like recruitee.com and marketplace.tellent.com reinforce their ecosystem approach. The company shows signs of steady growth and market adaptation through acquisitions and expanded service offerings.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses domain status protections to prevent unauthorized changes, reflecting a baseline security maturity. However, the use of an outdated jQuery version (1.7.1) introduces known vulnerabilities that could be exploited. The absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No public security policy or incident response contact information is available, which may hinder transparency and responsiveness in case of security incidents. The presence of multiple third-party tracking scripts necessitates regular security audits to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by updating libraries, enhancing HTTP headers, and publishing clear security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all outdated JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. Conduct regular third-party script audits to minimize supply chain vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and mobile optimization to improve user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on AWS Cloudfront and built using HubSpot CMS, leveraging a modern marketing and analytics stack including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Usercentrics for consent management. The site is multilingual and well-structured with clear navigation and professional design. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility compliance. The use of legacy jQuery 1.7.1 is a technical debt and security risk. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical infrastructure supports scalability and integration but requires modernization in security and frontend libraries to reduce risk and improve maintainability.
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.
