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

Hartzell Propeller Service Center is a specialized FAA-certified repair station focused exclusively on the Hartzell product line, offering propeller repair, overhaul, sales, and support services. The company positions itself as a trusted source for guaranteed lead times, industry-best warranty, and a dedicated exchange program, targeting general aviation operators and maintenance organizations. The website reflects a medium-sized business with a professional and consistent brand presence, supported by customer testimonials and FAA certification as trust indicators. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern frameworks like Bootstrap and integrates Google Maps and Google Analytics for enhanced user experience and tracking. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA usage, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, representing areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and functional, but could enhance compliance and security practices to strengthen its digital maturity and risk posture.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

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 transportation sector, specifically aviation propeller services, with a clear focus on Hartzell products. Its business model revolves around repair services, sales of new and used propellers, and warranty support. The company leverages its FAA certification and specialized expertise to maintain a competitive advantage. The website content and structure indicate a customer-centric approach with detailed service descriptions and easy access to contact channels. The partnership with Hartzell and presence of exchange and warranty programs suggest a strong market position. The domain age aligns with a recently established or rebranded entity, consistent with the 2024 creation date. No privacy protection on WHOIS data indicates transparency. The company does not publicly disclose privacy or security policies, which may impact compliance perception.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA on forms, indicating basic security awareness. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security policy information is provided, limiting transparency on handling security events. The use of WordPress and third-party plugins requires diligent patching to avoid vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or suspicious domains were detected. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to enable DNSSEC, implement security headers, and publish security policies to improve trust and resilience.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance details.
  4. Establish and disclose a security policy and incident response contact information.
  5. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Bootstrap framework and uses jQuery and Google APIs for enhanced functionality. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). The site loads videos and images optimized for desktop and mobile, indicating good mobile optimization. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and resource optimization. Accessibility is basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. The hosting provider is inferred as GoDaddy.com, LLC from WHOIS data. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and functional but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance tuning.
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.
