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

Air-Glaciers SA is a well-established Swiss aerial transport and mountain rescue company operating since 1965. The company offers a broad range of services including mountain rescue, helicopter transport, heliski, pleasure flights, agricultural aerial treatments, and flight training. It holds a strong market position as a leader in alpine aerial services in Switzerland, supported by multiple bases across key Swiss alpine regions. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear service offerings and contact information. Technically, the site is built on Joomla CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and integrates common marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. Security posture is good with HTTPS and CSRF protections, but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies, which are compliance gaps. Overall, the website is trustworthy and serves its target audience effectively, though improvements in privacy compliance and security disclosures are recommended.

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 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

    • 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

Air-Glaciers operates in the transportation sector with a focus on aerial services in mountainous regions. Its business model revolves around service provision including rescue, transport, training, and agricultural applications. The company targets both general public customers for pleasure flights and rescue card subscriptions, as well as professionals requiring training and specialized aerial services. The presence of a dedicated training center and an online shop indicates diversified revenue streams. Partnerships with brands like Hamilton Watch enhance brand prestige. The company’s market position is strong in the Swiss alpine niche, supported by a network of bases and a fleet of helicopters. Growth indicators include active event participation and continuous training offerings. The company maintains a professional digital presence with social media engagement and marketing tools.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, CSRF token usage, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy limits transparency for security researchers. The lack of explicit privacy and cookie policies is a compliance risk under GDPR. Security headers beyond X-UA-Compatible are missing, which could improve protection against common web attacks. Tracking technologies are present, indicating moderate user tracking. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by adding formal policies and additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and inform users about data handling.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  4. Review and minimize tracking scripts to enhance user privacy and reduce compliance risks.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and update CMS/plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS using the Helix3 template framework, leveraging JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Mootools. It uses Smart Slider 3 for dynamic content presentation and integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and includes accessibility features at a basic level. Performance is moderate, with some potential for optimization. The site uses modern SEO meta tags and Open Graph tags for social sharing. Technical debt appears low, but the site could benefit from enhanced security headers and formal privacy compliance mechanisms. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
