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

Garland Canada operates as a distributor and service provider for a portfolio of commercial kitchen equipment brands under the Welbilt umbrella. The company targets commercial kitchen operators and equipment buyers in Canada, offering sales, service, and resource support. The website reflects a medium-sized business with consistent branding and a professional online presence. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, and integrates analytics and consent management tools, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though the absence of a published security policy and incident response details suggests room for improvement. The lack of WHOIS data for the domain raises some concerns about domain legitimacy, but the website content and branding are consistent with a legitimate business. Overall, the site is well-structured, accessible, and trustworthy from a user perspective.

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

4 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 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

The company is positioned as an important player in the commercial kitchen equipment distribution sector in Canada, representing multiple well-known brands. Its business model focuses on equipment sales, service, and support, leveraging partnerships with brands like Beverage-Air and Victory Refrigeration. The website's integration with marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot and Microsoft Application Insights suggests active engagement in digital marketing and customer relationship management. The presence of social media links and resource downloads indicates a customer-centric approach. However, the missing WHOIS data and lack of visible compliance or security certifications could be areas to address for enhanced credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid baseline security posture with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place. The use of Usercentrics CMP and Microsoft Application Insights shows attention to privacy and monitoring. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits transparency and preparedness perception. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which could be improved to harden the site against common web attacks. The domain's WHOIS data absence is a notable risk factor, potentially indicating a new or unregistered domain, which should be monitored. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  3. Add incident response contact information, including security or abuse email addresses.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Monitor domain registration status and ensure WHOIS data is available and accurate to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for scripting, and FontAwesome for icons. It integrates third-party services such as HubSpot for marketing automation, Microsoft Application Insights for telemetry, and Usercentrics for cookie consent management. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD BreadcrumbList). Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and scripts. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The technical implementation is solid but could be improved by adding security headers and ensuring WHOIS data availability.
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.
