Risk levelMedium

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

Gerflor Canada operates as a regional branch of the GERFLOR Group, specializing in commercial vinyl flooring and wall covering solutions. The company targets B2B customers such as healthcare, education, sports facilities, industry, retail, and hospitality sectors. Their business model includes manufacturing, product customization, and providing digital tools for project visualization. The website reflects a mature digital presence with a modern Drupal 10 CMS, integrated analytics, and consent management tools, indicating a good level of digital maturity. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and secure forms, though lacking explicit security headers and incident response information. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain introduces some uncertainty about domain registration legitimacy, but the strong brand presence and corporate linkage mitigate concerns. Overall, the website is professional, content-rich, and trustworthy for its intended audience.

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. 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Gerflor holds a strong market position as a leader in commercial flooring solutions with a focus on sustainability and innovation. Their extensive product range and service offerings cater to diverse industry segments, enhancing their competitive advantage. The business model leverages direct sales and digital engagement tools, supporting efficient customer interactions. The presence of multiple product brands and a dedicated professional portal indicates a well-structured partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include sustainability commitments and digital transformation efforts. Strategic observations suggest continued investment in digital tools and sustainability will reinforce market leadership.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and secure form handling. However, the lack of visible security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts highlight areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is supported by the presence of a cookie consent mechanism via Usercentrics. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure processes are not publicly documented, which could impact trust and rapid response capabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Conduct regular security audits and update Drupal core and modules to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance visibility of data protection officer or privacy contact to strengthen GDPR compliance.
  5. Consider obtaining and displaying relevant industry certifications to boost trust and credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery, Slick Carousel, and Usercentrics for consent management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive images and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of CDNs for common libraries. SEO is well addressed with canonical tags, hreflang attributes for multilingual support, and structured navigation. Technical risks include potential outdated modules and missing security headers. Opportunities exist to improve performance and security posture through optimization and enhanced configuration.
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.
