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

CCA Global Partners is a cooperative organization dedicated to empowering independent, family-owned businesses primarily in the retail and home improvement sectors. Their business model focuses on providing scale, resources, and innovation to help these businesses compete effectively against large corporate entities. The website presents a professional and comprehensive overview of their brands, services, and mission, targeting entrepreneurs and family business owners. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and technologies, offering good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, though some security headers and policies could be improved. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but lacking cookie consent mechanisms. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable concern for domain transparency but does not detract significantly from the overall trustworthiness given the professional content and branding.

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

5 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';…

  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

    • 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

CCA Global Partners holds a strong market position as a large cooperative network supporting family-owned businesses across multiple sectors including flooring, lighting, contractors, and recreation. Their competitive advantage lies in their scale and resource sharing, enabling small businesses to thrive. The company operates multiple subsidiary brands and maintains a presence in the US, Canada, and Australia. Their partnership ecosystem includes job application services and social media engagement. Growth indicators include active recruitment and community involvement. The business model is focused on sustainability and competitive advantage for independent entrepreneurs.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate room for improvement. The use of third-party scripts and tracking pixels necessitates ongoing vulnerability management. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via a privacy policy but lacks explicit cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security culture appears positive but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Increase WHOIS transparency or provide domain registration information to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using a modern tech stack including jQuery, Slick Carousel, FontAwesome, and Yoast SEO plugin. It integrates Google Analytics and LinkedIn Insight Tag for analytics and marketing. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site uses several plugins for enhanced functionality such as search filtering and image optimization. There is no indication of hosting provider from the data. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require regular security reviews. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags and SEO optimization, supporting good discoverability and user experience.
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.
