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

Cascadia Windows & Doors is a specialized manufacturer of high-performance fiberglass windows, window walls, and doors designed primarily for commercial and residential construction markets. The company positions itself as an innovator in energy-efficient fenestration solutions, leveraging proprietary fiberglass technology to deliver superior thermal performance and durability. Their website reflects a mature digital presence with rich multimedia content, client testimonials, and detailed product information targeting architects, builders, and developers. Technically, the website is built on Smallbox CMS and integrates modern analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized and well-structured, providing a positive user experience. However, some technical improvements are recommended, including the implementation of security headers and enhanced privacy compliance features. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. The absence of visible security headers and privacy/cookie policies indicates room for improvement in security posture and regulatory compliance. The WHOIS data is notably missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain registration transparency and trustworthiness. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy from a content and business perspective but would benefit from enhanced security practices and clearer privacy disclosures to improve compliance and user 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

8 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 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

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

Cascadia Windows & Doors operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on fenestration products with a strong emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability. Their market positioning as a leader in fiberglass window technology is supported by certifications and industry recognition. The business model centers on direct sales to construction professionals and developers, supported by technical resources and tools. The presence of reputable client logos and testimonials indicates a solid partnership ecosystem and a growing customer base. The company leverages digital marketing and multimedia content to engage its target audience effectively. However, the lack of publicly available WHOIS data may impact perceived legitimacy in some markets.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no obvious exposure of sensitive data. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager is standard but requires proper privacy disclosures to ensure compliance. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which limits transparency and readiness perception. The missing WHOIS data is a significant concern for domain legitimacy and trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and vulnerability management.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and build trust with users and partners.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities proactively.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Smallbox CMS 8.0.0, utilizing modern web technologies including asynchronous loading of Google Analytics and Tag Manager scripts, and embedded Vimeo videos for rich media content. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and SEO optimization. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. The absence of visible security headers and privacy-related scripts indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional user experience but requires modernization in security and privacy implementations.
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.
