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

Collins Aerospace is a leading enterprise in the aerospace and defense sector, providing advanced technological solutions and systems for global aerospace markets. As a subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies, it holds a strong market position with a broad portfolio including avionics, flight deck systems, cargo systems, and innovative aerospace technologies. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image targeting aerospace industry professionals and partners. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies and analytics tools, with good mobile optimization and accessibility. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, though explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained, but could improve transparency in privacy and security disclosures.

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

The company operates primarily in the transportation and technology sectors, focusing on aerospace and defense markets. Its business model is B2B, serving aerospace manufacturers, defense agencies, and commercial aviation clients. The website indicates a large enterprise scale with global presence and multiple subsidiaries. The company leverages its parent company Raytheon Technologies' ecosystem, enhancing its competitive advantage. Key services include aerospace components, avionics integration, and analytics solutions. The site’s navigation and content structure support a comprehensive presentation of capabilities and global operations, indicating a mature digital presence.

Security posture

Collins Aerospace demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no apparent exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure programs represents gaps in transparency and readiness. The use of multiple analytics and tracking scripts without visible cookie consent mechanisms may pose privacy compliance risks under GDPR and similar regulations. Security headers are not explicitly detected, suggesting room for improvement in defense-in-depth. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving user privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement and disclose a formal security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen security posture.
  5. Review and optimize analytics and tracking scripts to minimize privacy risks and enhance transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including asynchronous JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, and Siteimprove Analytics, indicating a focus on performance and analytics. The hosting appears to be managed via Raytheon Technologies' CDN infrastructure, supporting global content delivery. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata including Open Graph and Twitter cards. However, no specific CMS or framework is identified. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by optimizing script loading and reducing external dependencies. Technical debt appears low, but adding security headers and formalizing privacy controls would enhance the overall technical maturity.
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.
