Security score

69/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website pcexpress.ca is currently inaccessible due to a Web Application Firewall or security mechanism blocking access, as evidenced by the 'Access Denied' page and references to Akamai's error domain. This prevents any direct analysis of the site's content, policies, or services. The domain is registered to an entity located in Canada with a registration date in 2016, suggesting an established business presence. However, the lack of accessible content limits the ability to verify business claims or assess digital maturity. Technically, the site uses Akamai nameservers, indicating reliance on a major CDN and security provider, but DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a potential security enhancement area. Security posture cannot be fully evaluated due to blocked content, but no immediate vulnerabilities or exposed data are visible. Overall, the site scores low on content quality and security posture due to inaccessibility, with moderate business credibility based on WHOIS data. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing clear privacy and security policies, and ensuring the site is accessible for proper evaluation.

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

7 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

Based on WHOIS data, the domain is registered to a Canadian entity located at 22 St. Clair Ave East, Suite 701, with a registration date in 2016. The domain status is clientTransferProhibited, indicating some protection against unauthorized transfers. The use of Akamai nameservers suggests the business invests in CDN and security infrastructure. However, the absence of accessible website content limits insights into market positioning, business model, or partnerships. No contact emails, phone numbers, or social media links are available from the site. The business likely operates in the retail sector, possibly related to computer or technology products given the domain name, but this cannot be confirmed. No certifications or trust indicators are visible. The domain's legitimacy appears reasonable but unverified due to lack of content.

Security posture

The security posture assessment is limited by the blocked content. The domain uses HTTPS as implied by the URL, but SSL configuration details are unavailable. No security headers or best practices can be confirmed. DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a security gap. The domain status clientTransferProhibited is a positive indicator. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published. The site is protected by a WAF or similar security mechanism, which may reduce exposure to attacks but also blocks analysis. Overall, the security maturity appears basic with room for improvement in transparency and policy publication.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain security and trust.
  2. Publish accessible privacy, cookie, and security policies on the website.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security incident response.
  4. Review WAF settings to allow legitimate access for analysis and user experience.
  5. Implement and document a vulnerability disclosure program and incident response contacts.

Key observations

  1. Website content is blocked by a WAF or security mechanism.
  2. No accessible content to analyze for privacy, cookie, or terms policies.
  3. No contact information or business details available on the site.
  4. Domain registration data is consistent with a Canadian retail business.
  5. Site uses Akamai nameservers indicating enterprise-level CDN or security services.
  6. DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a security improvement opportunity.
  7. No security headers or SSL configuration details available due to blocked content.
  8. No analytics, advertising, or tracking scripts detected due to lack of content.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted behind Akamai CDN infrastructure as indicated by the nameservers. The domain is registered with Webnames.ca Inc. The site currently returns an Access Denied error page with minimal HTML content, preventing analysis of CMS, frameworks, or scripts. No metadata, Open Graph tags, or structured data are present. No forms or external links besides the error reference domain are found. The lack of DNSSEC and security headers are notable technical gaps. Performance, mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO cannot be assessed due to blocked content. The technical infrastructure appears to rely on enterprise CDN and security services but lacks transparency and accessibility.
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.
