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

AGT Food and Ingredients Inc. is a large, Saskatchewan-based diversified food company specializing in plant-based proteins, pulses, grains, and value-added food ingredients. Majority owned by Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited, AGT Foods operates globally with a strong market position as a leader in pulse processing and food ingredient supply. Their business model encompasses packaged foods, food ingredients, co-manufacturing, bulk handling, and trading platforms serving producers, traders, and retail consumers worldwide. The website reflects a professional corporate presence with detailed business descriptions, subsidiary links, and active social media channels. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies such as Vue.js and Swiper.js, integrates Google reCAPTCHA for form security, and uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration. The site is mobile-optimized and has good SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. No content blocking or WAF challenges were detected, allowing full content access and analysis. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and reCAPTCHA but lacks explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for GDPR compliance and enhanced security posture. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response information are published, and no data protection officer contact is provided. The WHOIS data is missing or not found for the domain, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, though the website content and business information appear legitimate and consistent with a large enterprise. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with a solid business foundation but would benefit from improved privacy compliance, security headers, and transparency in domain registration details to enhance trust and security posture.

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

8 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.

    • 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

  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 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, LinkedIn, Google APIs

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

AGT Foods holds a strong global market position in the plant-based protein and pulse processing sector, leveraging its diversified business model that includes packaged foods, ingredients, and trading platforms. The company targets producers, traders, retail consumers, and investors, supported by a network of subsidiaries and partner companies across multiple countries. Their parent company, Fairfax Financial Holdings Limited, adds financial strength and credibility. The website's detailed subsidiary links and corporate resources indicate a mature partnership ecosystem and strategic global operations. Growth indicators include active participation in industry events (e.g., IFT 2026) and product innovation such as organic pulse-based pasta. The business model emphasizes vertical integration from producer to consumer, enhancing supply chain control and market responsiveness.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA implemented to protect forms. However, the absence of key security headers (Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) reduces defense-in-depth. Lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies limits transparency and readiness perception. No data protection officer contact or cookie consent mechanism is present, indicating gaps in privacy compliance, especially under GDPR. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate site but requires enhancements in headers, privacy compliance, and incident response transparency to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Add a cookie policy and explicit consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and security culture.
  4. Provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to enhance compliance and trust.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and legitimacy.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern frontend technologies such as Vue.js and Swiper.js, ensuring a responsive and interactive user experience. Google Fonts and Google reCAPTCHA are integrated for typography and security respectively. The site loads multiple CSS and JS assets asynchronously and uses modulepreload for performance optimization. The design is mobile-optimized with a clear navigation structure and good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags. However, no CMS or hosting provider information is evident from the source. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility features. The absence of security headers is a technical risk that should be addressed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional corporate website but can be enhanced for security and compliance.
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.
