Aurora Flight Sciences is a large aerospace technology company specializing in the design, manufacturing, and testing of advanced and uncrewed aircraft systems, aerospace components, and space hardware. As a subsidiary of Boeing, it leverages significant industry expertise and scale to deliver innovative solutions for government and commercial customers. The company’s website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content about its programs, services, and corporate identity. Technically, the site is built on WordPress using modern plugins and frameworks, with good SEO and mobile optimization.

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. 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

  2. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Aurora Flight Sciences operates in the aerospace and technology sectors, focusing on advanced aircraft development, autonomy, and manufacturing. Its business model is B2B, serving government and commercial aerospace clients. The company benefits from its Boeing parentage, which enhances market position and trust. Key services include experimental aircraft, flight testing, aerospace manufacturing, and space hardware. The presence of a subsidiary domain (Aurora Swiss) indicates international operations. The company’s digital footprint includes active social media channels and a well-structured website, supporting strong brand recognition and customer engagement. No direct revenue data is available, but the scale and scope suggest a large enterprise with significant R&D investment and strategic partnerships.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses reputable third-party analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of a published security or incident response policy are areas for improvement. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which could enhance transparency and trust. Privacy compliance is basic, with no explicit cookie consent mechanism or detailed privacy policy found on the homepage. Overall, the security posture is good but could be strengthened with additional best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.

It integrates multiple external services for analytics and marketing, such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight. The site is mobile optimized and uses modern web fonts and icon libraries. Performance appears moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. The site structure is clear with semantic HTML and JSON-LD structured data for SEO. There is no indication of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided content. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence.
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.
