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

Aluminerie Alouette Inc. is a well-established Canadian company specializing in the production of primary aluminum with a strong emphasis on efficiency, innovation, and sustainable development. The company positions itself as one of the most efficient primary aluminum producers globally, targeting industry professionals, partners, and community stakeholders. Their business model focuses on manufacturing with a commitment to environmental and social governance principles. Technically, the website employs common web technologies such as jQuery, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is accessible, with basic mobile optimization and SEO practices, though there is room for improvement in accessibility and performance optimization. From a security perspective, the website uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhanced security. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms exist but are basic and could be improved to better align with GDPR requirements. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy image with clear contact information and corporate branding. The domain registration data supports the legitimacy and long-standing presence of the business. Strategic improvements in security headers, DNSSEC, and privacy compliance would enhance the security posture and trustworthiness further.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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';…

  3. 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

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

Aluminerie Alouette operates in the energy sector, specifically in aluminum production, with a focus on sustainability and innovation. The company has a large operational scale and a long history dating back to 1997. Their market position as a leading efficient aluminum producer is supported by their commitment to environmental standards and community engagement. The business model is manufacturing-centric with key services including primary aluminum production and sustainable development initiatives. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear communication channels and certifications that reinforce trust. Partnerships appear limited in the public domain, with no subsidiaries or parent companies indicated. Growth indicators include ongoing innovation and sustainability reporting.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections active. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth strategies. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. The use of common analytics and marketing tools introduces moderate user tracking, with basic cookie consent mechanisms in place. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but would benefit from enhancements in DNS security, HTTP headers, and transparency around security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Enhance the privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR compliance and data retention policies.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Review and improve cookie consent mechanisms to ensure full compliance with privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional web technology stack including jQuery and jQuery UI, with integration of Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site loads multiple CSS and JS resources, some with versioning query parameters indicating active maintenance. Hosting details are limited but the registrar is Tucows Domains Inc. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta tags present but minimal keyword and description content. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected. There is an opportunity to modernize the tech stack and improve performance and accessibility standards.
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.
