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

Geneva Helicopters is a specialized transportation company offering private helicopter transfers primarily from Geneva Airport to various alpine destinations. Established in 2005, the company operates under the parent company Mont Blanc Helicoptères and serves a niche market of affluent travelers seeking luxury and efficient air travel. Their services include helicopter transfers, private jet charter proposals, and last-minute flight options, targeting business and leisure travelers in Switzerland and neighboring regions. The website infrastructure is built on a custom platform utilizing legacy JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.4.2 and various jQuery plugins. Hosting and DNS services are managed through Infomaniak Network SA and Cloudflare, respectively. While the site uses HTTPS and Google Analytics for tracking, it lacks modern security headers and DNSSEC, indicating room for improvement in technical security and compliance. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates basic best practices like HTTPS enforcement and domain transfer protection but is hindered by outdated libraries and missing security headers. There is no visible cookie consent mechanism or comprehensive privacy compliance features, which may expose the company to GDPR compliance risks. Incident response and security policy information are not published, limiting transparency. Overall, Geneva Helicopters presents a professional and trustworthy business with a solid market position but should prioritize updating its technical stack, enhancing security measures, and improving privacy compliance to reduce risk and build greater customer trust.

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

6 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 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

      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

Geneva Helicopters operates in the luxury transportation sector, focusing on helicopter transfers from Geneva Airport to alpine resorts and other destinations. Their competitive advantage lies in their established presence since 2005, association with Mont Blanc Helicoptères, and a clear service offering tailored to high-net-worth individuals and business travelers. Revenue streams likely include charter flight bookings and last-minute transfer services. The company maintains partnerships with related service providers such as VIP hangars and limousine services, enhancing their ecosystem. Growth indicators include a maintained online presence with booking forms and promotional offers. However, limited social media engagement and basic digital marketing tools suggest potential for expansion in customer outreach and digital transformation.

Security posture

The current security posture of Geneva Helicopters is moderate. The website uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protection, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC, lack of security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options), and use of outdated JavaScript libraries introduce vulnerabilities that could be exploited. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism and privacy compliance features indicates GDPR compliance gaps. No published security policy or incident response contacts reduce transparency and preparedness. These factors collectively suggest the company should enhance its security framework, update technical components, and implement privacy controls to mitigate risks and comply with regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to the latest secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  3. Add comprehensive security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to protect against common web attacks.
  4. Deploy a cookie consent banner and privacy management tools to ensure GDPR compliance and improve user trust.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom platform leveraging legacy JavaScript libraries including jQuery 1.4.2 and multiple jQuery plugins for UI components like autocomplete, timepicker, and rotator. Google Analytics is used for traffic monitoring. Hosting is managed via Infomaniak Network SA with DNS services through Cloudflare, though DNSSEC is not enabled. The site uses HTTPS but lacks modern security headers. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is basic with meta tags and keywords present but no advanced structured data or JSON-LD detected. The technical stack shows signs of technical debt and would benefit from modernization to improve security, performance, and compliance.
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.
