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

Church & Dwight Canada Corp. operates as a manufacturer and distributor of well-known consumer household brands trusted by Canadian consumers. The website presents a professional corporate image with clear branding and a focus on product families such as ARM & HAMMER™, GRAVOL™, and others. The company targets Canadian households and emphasizes reliability and effectiveness in its product offerings. The business is a subsidiary of Church & Dwight Co., Inc., with a domain age consistent with its market presence since 2000. Technically, the website employs modern tracking and consent management technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and OneTrust for cookie consent. The hosting is managed via MarkMonitor, a reputable provider. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices and clear navigation. However, no CMS or specific frameworks were detected. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain status flags that prevent unauthorized transfers or updates. DNSSEC is not enabled, and no advanced security headers were detected. There is no published security policy or incident response information, which could be improved. The cookie consent mechanism is robust and GDPR compliant, reflecting good privacy practices. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and compliant with privacy regulations. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers is mitigated by a contact form hosted on a related domain. Recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and publishing security and incident response policies 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

10 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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';…

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

Church & Dwight Canada Corp. holds a strong market position in the Canadian retail sector for consumer household products. The company leverages a portfolio of established brands with broad recognition. Its business model centers on manufacturing and distributing trusted consumer goods. The website reflects a mature digital presence with integrated marketing and privacy compliance tools. The company appears to maintain a focused partnership ecosystem, including investor relations and external contact management. Growth indicators are implied by the longevity and brand portfolio. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance transparency in security and incident response to align with best practices.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration settings prevent unauthorized changes. The use of OneTrust for cookie consent indicates compliance with privacy regulations. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP) or HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) suggests room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate informational site but could be strengthened to mitigate emerging threats and improve user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and enhance domain security.
  2. Implement security headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance direct contact options for security and privacy inquiries to improve transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a clean and modern technical infrastructure with Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and OneTrust for cookie consent management. Hosting is via MarkMonitor, a reputable provider specializing in brand protection and domain management. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata and structured navigation. No CMS or major frameworks were detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to optimize speed. The technical setup is stable but could benefit from additional security hardening and performance monitoring.
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.
