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

4 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 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

BAA Training holds a strong market position in the aviation training sector, leveraging multiple international branches to serve a global audience. Their business model focuses on comprehensive aviation education, including ab initio pilot training, type ratings for major aircraft manufacturers, and cadet programs in partnership with airlines. The company benefits from a consistent brand presence and detailed service offerings, which support customer acquisition and retention. The use of advanced marketing and analytics tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. However, the absence of explicit privacy and security policies may affect compliance and customer trust in regulated markets.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information. The lack of DNSSEC and security headers represents a gap in defense-in-depth strategies. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which limits transparency and readiness perception. Extensive use of third-party tracking and advertising scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risks. GDPR compliance indicators are minimal beyond cookie consent. The organization should consider publishing security policies, implementing security headers, and enhancing privacy disclosures to improve overall security posture and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish clear privacy policy and terms of service documents accessible from the main navigation.
  4. Add incident response contact information and consider a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Review and minimize third-party tracking scripts to reduce privacy risks and improve compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress with a modern theme and uses jQuery along with Google Fonts for styling. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Microsoft Clarity, managed via Google Tag Manager. Hosting and DNS are managed through Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The technical stack is mature but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy-focused improvements.
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.
