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

UKG is a leading enterprise technology company specializing in human capital management (HCM), payroll, and workforce management solutions. The company serves a broad range of industries including retail, healthcare, manufacturing, and public sector, positioning itself as a market leader with recognized industry awards such as Gartner Magic Quadrant and Nucleus Research Leader. UKG's business model focuses on providing AI-powered, culture-driven HR technology to enterprises and growing businesses worldwide. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, multi-regional support, and strong branding consistency. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10 and leverages Cloudflare for hosting and CDN services, with modern JavaScript modules and consent management tools integrated. However, the SSL certificate is invalid or missing, and no modern TLS protocols are enabled, representing a critical security vulnerability. Security headers are present but insufficient to compensate for the lack of proper SSL/TLS configuration. Privacy and cookie policies are well implemented with GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms in place. Overall, UKG's website demonstrates strong business credibility and user experience but requires urgent remediation of SSL and TLS issues to ensure secure communications and maintain trust.

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 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 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: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      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

UKG operates in the enterprise HR technology sector with a focus on delivering integrated HCM, payroll, and workforce management solutions. Its competitive advantages include AI-driven features, a culture-first approach, and a broad industry footprint. The company targets enterprises and midsize businesses globally, supported by localized websites and language options. UKG's revenue streams likely include SaaS subscriptions, professional services, and support contracts. The acquisition of Shiftboard expands its capabilities in employee scheduling for critical industries. The partnership ecosystem includes Mimecast for email security and Eloqua for marketing automation. UKG's strategic positioning as a leader in cloud HCM suites is reinforced by analyst recognitions and a strong customer base of over 80,000 organizations. The website content and resources support thought leadership and customer engagement, indicating a mature marketing and sales operation.

Security posture

The website implements several security best practices such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers, and uses secure cookies with HttpOnly and SameSite attributes. However, the SSL certificate is invalid or missing, and no TLS protocols are enabled, which is a critical security flaw that undermines HTTPS protection. There is no OCSP stapling or session resumption configured, and certificate transparency compliance is absent. No explicit security or incident response policies are published on the site, and no security.txt file is found. The site uses Cloudflare as a hosting and CDN provider but does not appear to leverage its full security capabilities. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires immediate attention to SSL/TLS configuration to protect data in transit and maintain compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately fix the SSL certificate to ensure it is valid, trusted, and properly configured.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) to secure communications.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve SSL performance and security.
  4. Publish explicit security policies and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Regularly audit and update security headers and cookie settings to maintain best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, indicating a modern and maintainable platform. It uses Cloudflare for hosting and CDN, which provides performance and security benefits. The site includes Google Tag Manager and Didomi Consent Manager for analytics and privacy compliance. The presence of multiple language versions and regional sites shows a global digital strategy. Performance data is missing, but the site uses preloaded fonts and responsive images, suggesting optimization efforts. Accessibility and SEO optimizations are evident through meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema. However, the invalid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent significant technical risks that could impact user trust and search engine rankings. The site uses modern JavaScript modules and has a well-structured navigation and content layout, supporting a good user experience.
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.
