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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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"

  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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Breeze-Eastern operates in the aerospace manufacturing sector, serving military and civilian helicopter operators globally. Their competitive advantage lies in their exclusive focus on helicopter hoists and winches, backed by decades of technical innovation and product quality certifications such as AS9100 and ISO standards. The business model centers on OEM manufacturing, product support, and training services, generating revenue through product sales and aftermarket support. The company maintains a network of marketing representatives, distributors, and certified service centers, indicating a well-established partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include continuous product innovation and expanding customer support capabilities. The website's integration with a customer/supplier portal suggests a mature operational infrastructure supporting supply chain and client engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and secure AJAX-based form validation. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact information limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. GDPR and CCPA compliance notices are present, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish and publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and communication with security researchers.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to improve domain registration transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with PHP and jQuery 3.7.1, utilizing WPBakery Page Builder for content management and Popup Maker for user interaction elements. It integrates multimedia content via YouTube embeds and uses Google Fonts for typography. The site is served over HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. Performance is moderate with some optimization for mobile devices and responsive design. The presence of AJAX calls with nonce tokens indicates secure form handling. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and could improve accessibility compliance. No hosting provider information was detected from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and functional but has room for security and accessibility enhancements.
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.
