STORCK CANADA INC. · Retail · Canada

Security score

63/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Storck Canada Inc. operates a professional corporate website presenting its confectionery business, brand portfolio, quality standards, career opportunities, and contact information primarily via a contact form. The website is built on TYPO3 CMS and uses modern JavaScript libraries and Piwik PRO analytics, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Privacy and cookie policies are clearly presented and GDPR compliant, enhancing user trust. However, the absence of WHOIS data for the domain www.storck.ca raises concerns about domain registration transparency and trustworthiness. No direct company contact emails or phone numbers are published, and no explicit security or incident response policies are available, which could be improved to strengthen security posture and user confidence.

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. 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. 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

  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

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

Storck Canada is positioned as a medium-sized confectionery manufacturer and retailer targeting Canadian consumers and job seekers. The business model focuses on manufacturing and marketing confectionery brands such as Werther's Original, merci, Toffifee, RIESEN, and Mamba. The website links to multiple regional Storck sites, indicating a global partnership network. The company emphasizes quality and sustainability, with dedicated sections on product quality and corporate responsibility. The absence of detailed business registration or VAT information on the site limits deeper business intelligence insights.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms, indicating good baseline security practices. However, no security headers were detected in the HTML content, and no published security policy or incident response information is available. The use of Piwik PRO analytics suggests privacy-conscious tracking. The lack of vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing recommended headers and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and enhance domain trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses TYPO3 CMS, a robust open-source content management system, combined with modern JavaScript libraries including RequireJS, Lodash, jQuery, and LazySizes for performance and responsiveness. Piwik PRO is used for analytics, indicating a focus on privacy. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility features and SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and preloading of key resources. No hosting provider information was detected. The technical stack is modern and well-implemented but could benefit from enhanced security headers and explicit performance optimizations.
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.
