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. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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 business operates in the education and transportation sectors, focusing on aviation maintenance training. Its market position is strong as the first and only DGCA-approved AME school in India with international collaborations. The business model centers on delivering licensed certification courses with future plans for ancillary and corporate training programs. Revenue streams likely include tuition fees and partnerships with MROs and OEMs. The company benefits from the backing of the GMR Group, a large conglomerate, enhancing its credibility and growth potential. The partnership ecosystem includes Airbus and other aviation entities, supporting technical excellence and placement opportunities. The website content and media releases indicate active engagement in industry events and media, signaling growth and market presence.

Security posture

The website maintains a good security posture with enforced HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data. Use of Google Tag Manager indicates tracking but no overt privacy controls or cookie consent mechanisms were found, which may pose compliance risks under GDPR or similar regulations. No security headers were detected, and no incident response or security policy information is publicly available, suggesting room for maturity improvement. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were identified. The overall security maturity is moderate to good but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and explicit security policies to strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain high standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and widely adopted technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and Slick Carousel for interactive UI elements. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. No CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified. The site could improve accessibility compliance and implement additional security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience with opportunities for modernization and enhanced security.
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.
