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

AKG Canada is a Canadian employment services organization focused on empowering individuals and communities through partnerships with provincial governments, community organizations, employers, and job seekers. The company offers employment services, job search training, employer workforce solutions, and self-employment resources primarily in British Columbia. The website is professionally designed, bilingual, and uses modern WordPress technologies with active SEO and analytics integration. The domain is recently registered with privacy protection, consistent with a legitimate new or rebranded business. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and domain status protections, but lacks DNSSEC and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is partial due to absence of cookie consent mechanisms despite use of tracking scripts. Overall, the website presents a credible and professional business presence with room for improvement in security and privacy transparency.

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

7 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  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

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

AKG Canada positions itself as a trusted partner in employment services within Canada, leveraging government contracts and community partnerships. Its business model centers on delivering employment solutions to job seekers and employers, supported by integrated technology and system management. The company targets government agencies, community organizations, employers, and job seekers, indicating a B2G and B2B2C approach. The website content and social media presence reinforce its market position as a reliable service provider with a focus on community impact and economic development. The recent domain registration aligns with a new or evolving business entity. No direct revenue or financial data is available, but the partnership emphasis suggests stable government funding streams.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and domain status protections that prevent unauthorized domain transfers or deletions. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice for domain security. No security headers were detected in the HTML content, and there is no published security policy or incident response information. The site uses common WordPress plugins and themes, which appear up to date, reducing risk of known vulnerabilities. Tracking scripts from Google Analytics and Tag Manager are present without a cookie consent banner, which may pose privacy compliance risks. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing DNSSEC, security headers, and transparent security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and display a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Salient theme and several popular plugins including Contact Form 7, WPML for multilingual support, and Yoast SEO for search optimization. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS servers, providing CDN and DNS management. The HTML and CSS are valid and the site is mobile responsive with good accessibility basics. Performance is moderate, with some heavy background images and parallax effects that may impact load times. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, but could benefit from additional security hardening and privacy compliance improvements.
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.
