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

Alaska Air Cargo operates as a major air cargo service provider primarily serving Alaska and extending across the US, Canada, and Mexico with over 100 destinations. The company offers a range of services including shipment booking, tracking, pet travel, and specialized freight options. The website reflects a well-established business with strong branding aligned to its parent company, Alaska Airlines. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks such as Bootstrap and Alpine.js, integrates Google reCAPTCHA for form security, and employs Microsoft Application Insights for telemetry, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling, though some security headers and explicit incident response policies are absent. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly but does not detract significantly from the overall trustworthiness given the professional presentation and external linkages. Overall, the site is reliable, secure, and user-friendly, serving a large transportation sector audience effectively.

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

3 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';…

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 holds a strong market position as a leading cargo airline in Alaska with extensive North American reach. Its business model focuses on air freight logistics, targeting businesses and individuals requiring reliable shipping solutions. Key competitive advantages include dedicated cargo planes, a large fleet, and partnerships with Hawaiian Airlines. The company leverages digital tools for customer engagement and operational efficiency. The presence of multiple service offerings and a broad network suggests diversified revenue streams and growth potential. The partnership ecosystem includes related Alaska Airlines domains and cargo connection sites, reinforcing brand cohesion and operational integration.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse, and secure form submission practices. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published security or incident response policies indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is suggested by the presence of comprehensive privacy and cookie policies. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not explicitly documented, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all users.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, Font Awesome for icons, jQuery and Alpine.js for interactivity, and Kentico CMS for content management. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. The integration of Microsoft Application Insights and Google Analytics indicates robust monitoring and analytics capabilities. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from spam and abuse. No hosting provider details were identified from the content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence with opportunities to enhance security headers and accessibility.
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.
