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

Airline List is an informational platform launched in 2013 that provides comprehensive rankings and data on airlines, airplanes, and airports worldwide, focusing on service quality, safety, and lost luggage statistics. The site targets travelers and aviation enthusiasts seeking detailed and comparative airline information. It integrates affiliate marketing through Travelpayouts and uses flight data APIs from Skypicker to offer flight search capabilities with advanced filtering options. The platform is hosted with Cloudflare and employs HTTPS for secure connections. Technically, it uses jQuery and lightweight analytics services, with a custom-built front-end optimized for mobile devices. However, the site lacks formal privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, and does not provide direct contact or incident response information, which are areas for improvement. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing DNSSEC and security headers. Overall, the website is professional, content-rich, and safe for general audiences but could enhance compliance and security transparency.

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

8 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

  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 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';…

  3. 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

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 business operates in the transportation sector, specifically aviation information services. It leverages affiliate marketing as a revenue stream by partnering with flight booking platforms. The company, associated with Nomads.com, positions itself as a niche player offering trusted airline and airplane rankings based on safety and service metrics. Its competitive advantage lies in detailed data aggregation and user-friendly filtering tools. The target customers are travelers and aviation enthusiasts globally. The platform shows growth potential through partnerships and API integrations but lacks visible certifications or formal business contact details, which may impact trust for some users.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place. However, it lacks DNSSEC, security headers, and formal security policies such as incident response or vulnerability disclosure. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps, particularly regarding GDPR. The site does not provide security contact channels, which limits incident response readiness. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, the security posture would benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the site against common web attacks.
  4. Provide clear contact information including a security or abuse email address to facilitate incident reporting and response.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file and a vulnerability disclosure policy to demonstrate commitment to security best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom front-end with jQuery and asynchronous scripts for analytics and affiliate marketing. It integrates external APIs for flight data and images, ensuring dynamic and updated content. Hosting and DNS are managed by Cloudflare, providing reliable infrastructure and HTTPS support. Performance is moderate with lazy loading implemented for images. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and adaptive layouts. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the absence of a CMS or modern frameworks may limit scalability and maintainability. The site lacks advanced accessibility features and security headers, which are technical debt areas to address.
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.
