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

ASSA-i is an established international association representing major providers of airport and aviation private security services, primarily in Europe. The organization focuses on advocating for quality standards, providing practical guides and tools for buyers of aviation security services, and representing a significant portion of the outsourced European aviation security market. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image aligned with its 20th anniversary milestone. Technically, the site uses a custom or unknown CMS with common JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Jssor Slider, and implements a cookie consent mechanism with high privacy settings. Google Analytics is used for audience measurement with user consent. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though DNSSEC is not enabled and additional security headers could improve protection. Privacy compliance is supported by a privacy policy and cookie consent, but no terms of service or incident response policies are published. Overall, the domain registration is consistent and legitimate, supporting the trustworthiness of the site.

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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

The association holds a strong market position representing over 70% of the European private aviation security market. Its business model centers on advocacy, standardization, and providing resources to aviation security service buyers. The target audience includes aviation security stakeholders and buyers seeking quality assurance. The organization benefits from partnerships and a broad stakeholder community within the EU and beyond. The website content and structure support its role as a credible industry association, though direct contact details are limited to a contact form. The lack of explicit terms of service and incident response information suggests areas for maturity improvement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism enforcing high privacy standards. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options indicates room for enhancement. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could impact preparedness and transparency. The use of Google Analytics is disclosed and consented, aligning with privacy compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be strengthened with additional controls and documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Add explicit terms of service to clarify user and visitor rights and obligations.
  5. Consider providing direct contact information such as company emails or phone numbers to improve trust and accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or unknown CMS with a technology stack including jQuery, Jssor Slider for image slideshows, Google Fonts for typography, and tarteaucitron.js for cookie consent management. Hosting and domain registration are managed by Ascio Technologies, Inc. Danmark. Performance is moderate with responsive design for mobile devices. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags present but no advanced structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility features are basic, and no major technical issues or broken elements were found. The site could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and accessibility practices.
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.
