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. 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 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. 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

Dassault Aviation operates primarily in the transportation and defense sectors, focusing on high-value aerospace products and services. Its business model revolves around manufacturing advanced military and civil aircraft and providing extensive customer support. The company targets governments, defense agencies, and business aviation clients worldwide. The website's structured data and social media presence reinforce its brand authority and trustworthiness. Partnerships with media and career portals enhance its ecosystem. The absence of public WHOIS data is typical for large enterprises prioritizing security and privacy. The company demonstrates strong compliance with privacy regulations and uses advanced analytics for audience measurement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and the use of Google reCaptcha to protect forms from spam and abuse. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR, indicating attention to privacy and data protection. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. However, the lack of a publicly available security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. Implementing a vulnerability disclosure program and publishing security policies would enhance trust and readiness. Overall, the site is secure for visitors and aligns with best practices for enterprise websites in sensitive industries.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Provide direct contact information for the Data Protection Officer or security team.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user trust by detailing data protection measures and compliance certifications.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and analytics platforms including Google Tag Manager, Piano Analytics, and SiteImprove. It uses Google reCaptcha for form security and implements a comprehensive cookie consent solution. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with caching and minification evident. Hosting details are not explicitly available. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and secure user experience, though opportunities exist to improve transparency around security and data protection.
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.
