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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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 business operates in the transportation sector with a niche focus on aircraft valuation and market analysis. It benefits from a long-established domain and parent company Access Intelligence, LLC. The subscription model and expert content position it well within its market. The company leverages partnerships and third-party services for marketing and analytics, maintaining a professional online presence. Growth potential lies in expanding digital offerings and enhancing security and compliance transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS, Cloudflare DNS, and cookie consent management via Osano. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some security headers like CSP and X-Content-Type-Options present moderate risks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts is a gap in transparency. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced DNS security and explicit security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement Content-Security-Policy and other security headers to mitigate XSS and clickjacking risks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The site uses a modern WordPress CMS with a variety of JavaScript libraries and third-party integrations including Google Tag Manager, New Relic, Osano, and AddSearch. Hosting appears stable with Cloudflare DNS but lacks DNSSEC. Performance is moderate with lazy loading and responsive design. SEO is well implemented with structured data and meta tags. Technical debt is low but security header implementation and DNS security could be improved. The site is mobile optimized and uses standard web technologies effectively.
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.
