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.

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.

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

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
The company operates a B2B business model targeting satellite operators, scientific institutions, and commercial Earth observation customers. Their competitive advantage lies in compact, high-performance imaging payloads and satellite buses tailored for small satellite platforms. Revenue streams likely include satellite product sales, imaging data services, and component sales. Partnerships with industry bodies and technology firms enhance their ecosystem and credibility. The website content and news updates indicate active growth and engagement with international markets, positioning Dragonfly Aerospace as a significant player in the small satellite technology sector.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, clientTransferProhibited domain status, and use of reputable tracking and analytics services with user consent. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended improvement for DNS security. The absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page suggests room for enhancing transparency and incident response readiness. Security headers beyond HTTPS are not explicitly detected, indicating potential for further hardening. Overall, the security measures are adequate for a commercial technology company but could be improved to align with best practices.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Implement a security.txt file or dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting.
Add HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure no vulnerabilities or privacy issues.
Enhance privacy policy details with explicit data retention and user rights information to strengthen GDPR compliance.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on WordPress CMS with modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery 3.7.1 and lazy loading for images, contributing to fast performance and good mobile optimization. Integration with Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag supports marketing and analytics efforts. Hosting appears to leverage Cloudflare DNS services, enhancing availability and security. The site features well-structured metadata including Open Graph and JSON-LD for SEO and social sharing. Technical debt is minimal, but enabling DNSSEC and additional security headers would reduce risk. The site demonstrates a high level of digital maturity suitable for a technology-focused aerospace company.
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.
