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

ACE Thermal Systems is a medium-sized aerospace company specializing in the design, engineering, manufacturing, and support of high-performance environmental control systems and thermal management solutions for aircraft. The company positions itself as a responsive and agile partner to aerospace OEMs, offering a comprehensive range of services from product development to FAA certification support. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content tailored to the aerospace industry. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor and uses modern web technologies, though some improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are recommended. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled and domain registration consistent with the business profile. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies and lack of security headers are areas for improvement. Overall, the website is safe, trustworthy, and well-structured, supporting the company’s market position as a specialized aerospace solutions provider.

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 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 operates in the transportation sector, specifically aerospace thermal management and environmental control systems. It leverages a B2B business model targeting OEMs and aviation industry professionals. The firm benefits from a combination of two established leaders, enhancing its market position and expanding product offerings. The website links to multiple partner domains, indicating a broad ecosystem and collaborative approach. The business emphasizes engineering excellence, certification expertise, and customer responsiveness. Growth indicators include a recent domain registration consistent with the company’s founding year (2022) and active recruitment links. Revenue streams likely include product sales, engineering services, and certification support. The company’s strategic focus on agility and responsiveness is a competitive advantage in the aerospace market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain status set to clientTransferProhibited, preventing unauthorized domain transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. No security headers were detected in the provided data, representing a missed opportunity to enhance protection against common web attacks. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerable libraries. There is no published security policy or incident response information, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could benefit from implementing additional security best practices and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to protect against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies on the website, including GDPR compliance details and user consent mechanisms.
  4. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

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.
