Risk levelHigh

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

AirWork & Heliseilerei GmbH is a Swiss-based company specializing in engineering, equipment, and services for the helicopter industry. Established in 1999, the company offers a range of solutions including load lifting devices, maintenance, expert training, and documentation tailored to helicopter operations. Their market position is that of a specialized niche provider with recognized certifications such as EASA Part 21 G and ISO 9001:2015, supporting their credibility in the aerospace sector. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies like Swiper.js for interactive sliders and Google Fonts for typography, likely running on a CMS such as OctoberCMS or a custom PHP framework. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and professional design. Hosting and domain registration are consistent with the business profile, with DNS hosted on webland.ch and domain registered through COREhub, S.R.L. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but lacks important security headers and does not implement DNSSEC, which are areas for improvement. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could be a risk factor. The absence of tracking and analytics scripts suggests minimal user tracking, which is positive for privacy. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with strong business credibility but requires enhancements in privacy compliance and security best practices to reduce risk and improve user trust. Strategic recommendations include adding privacy and cookie policies, implementing security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing incident response contacts.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  2. 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

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 · found on this site
  • 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

AirWork & Heliseilerei GmbH operates in the helicopter industry sector, providing specialized engineering and equipment services. Their competitive advantage lies in their certifications and niche expertise. The business model is B2B, targeting helicopter operators and related clients. Revenue streams likely include equipment sales, maintenance services, and expert consulting. The company maintains an active social media presence to engage with customers and promote projects. Growth indicators include ongoing certifications and participation in industry events. The partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms but no explicit business partners or subsidiaries were identified. The company appears stable with a long domain history and consistent branding.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and domain transfer is protected, but the absence of DNSSEC and security headers reduces the overall security posture. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR. Incident response readiness is not evident, and no security contact channels are provided. The security culture could be improved by adopting best practices such as CSP headers and publishing vulnerability disclosure policies. Overall, the security posture is functional but could be significantly enhanced to meet modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information including security contact emails.
  5. Regularly audit and update website technologies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used and maintain secure coding practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack including Swiper.js for sliders and Google Fonts for typography. The CMS appears to be OctoberCMS or a similar PHP-based system, indicated by the presence of /modules/system/ assets. Hosting is stable with domain registration dating back to 1999, indicating low technical debt. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and responsive design. Accessibility is basic with skip links and ARIA roles but could be improved. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph tags but lacks structured data like JSON-LD. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, reducing privacy concerns but also limiting marketing insights. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but has room for modernization and enhanced security.
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.
