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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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"

    • 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';…

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

Workable operates in the HR technology sector, targeting medium to large enterprises seeking efficient recruitment and employee management solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in AI-driven sourcing, screening, and workflow automation, supported by extensive integrations and global reach. Revenue is likely subscription-based SaaS with tiered plans. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem and invests in customer support and training. Growth indicators include awards, high customer satisfaction, and a broad user base. The website content and structure support a clear, professional brand image focused on solving real HR challenges with innovative technology.

Security posture

The security posture of Workable is robust, with adherence to industry standards and certifications such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. The website uses HTTPS exclusively and implements key security headers to protect users. Error monitoring and analytics are handled securely without exposing sensitive data. Privacy compliance is evident with GDPR and CCPA policies and consent mechanisms. However, the absence of a public incident response contact or vulnerability disclosure page is a minor gap. Overall, the security culture appears mature and business-focused, minimizing risk exposure.

Recommendations

  1. Publish clear incident response and security contact information on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user data handling.
  5. Continue investing in AI and automation while maintaining strong privacy and security controls.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, ensuring fast performance and SEO optimization. It uses Typekit for fonts and integrates with multiple analytics and monitoring services. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with a clean, professional design. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS approach. Hosting details are not explicit but likely cloud-based given the performance and global reach. The technical implementation supports scalability and reliability, suitable for enterprise clients.
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.
