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

gategroup's market positioning as a top-tier airline catering provider is supported by its extensive brand portfolio and global reach. The business model focuses on B2B services for airlines and airports, emphasizing quality culinary and hospitality offerings. The company demonstrates competitive advantages through certifications, sustainability initiatives, and transparent corporate governance. Revenue streams likely include catering contracts, retail services, and supply chain solutions. The target customers are airlines, airports, and hospitality sectors. The partnership ecosystem includes multiple subsidiaries and brands, enhancing market coverage and service diversity.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, multiple security headers, and clientTransferProhibited domain status. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is supported by clear cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR-aligned policies. However, the absence of a public security policy and vulnerability disclosure program indicates room for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness. The use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts is balanced with privacy considerations. Overall, the security maturity is high but could benefit from formalized policies and DNSSEC implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for design and Yoast SEO for optimization. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Piwik PRO for analytics, indicating a sophisticated approach to data collection and marketing. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses standard web technologies including jQuery and CSS frameworks. Technical debt appears low, but enabling DNSSEC and formalizing security policies would reduce risks. The infrastructure supports enterprise-level operations with scalability and compliance considerations.
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.
