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

Hawk Aerospace Ltd is a specialized technology company focused on delivering engineered drone, situational awareness, and electronic technology solutions primarily for commercial aviation, business aviation, and security forces sectors. Founded in 2016 and based in Malta, the company positions itself as a niche B2B provider with a strong emphasis on early engagement, agile delivery, and partnership-driven service. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear messaging and a well-structured presentation of their services and industry focus. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme and several modern plugins including Yoast SEO and Google reCAPTCHA for security. The site is mobile optimized and includes SEO best practices such as meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in accessibility and security headers. The presence of a cookie consent banner and privacy policy indicates attention to privacy compliance, although GDPR-specific details are limited. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements Google reCAPTCHA on forms, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of key security headers like Content-Security-Policy and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected. The WHOIS data aligns well with the business claims, supporting the legitimacy of the domain and company. Overall, Hawk Aerospace presents a credible and professional online presence with a solid foundation in technology and business focus. Strategic improvements in security headers and enhanced privacy disclosures would further strengthen their digital maturity and trustworthiness.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

Business profile

Hawk Aerospace operates in a specialized segment of the aerospace and technology industry, targeting organizations requiring advanced drone and situational awareness solutions. Their business model is B2B, leveraging partnerships with international technology companies to enhance their offerings. The company demonstrates a clear market positioning as a technology enabler with agile delivery and early engagement principles. Revenue streams likely derive from technology solution deployments, consulting, and ongoing support services. The partnership ecosystem includes reputable companies such as Thales and Microsoft, indicating strong industry connections. Growth indicators include a professional website with recent news updates and a focus on emerging technology sectors. The company targets aviation and security sectors, which are high-value markets with stringent operational requirements.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting forms. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS suggests incomplete implementation of best practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Privacy compliance is addressed through cookie consent and privacy policies, but incident response and security policy documentation are absent. The security culture appears basic but functional, with room for improvement in formalizing security policies and enhancing technical controls. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small technology company but should be enhanced to meet higher compliance and risk management standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Enhance privacy policy disclosures to explicitly address GDPR compliance and data retention practices.
  3. Establish and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to stakeholders.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Conduct periodic security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential risks.

Notes

The website is built on a mature and widely used CMS platform (WordPress) with a popular commercial theme (Avada) and several well-known plugins. The technology stack includes jQuery, Google reCAPTCHA, and Yoast SEO, indicating a focus on usability, security, and search optimization. Performance is moderate, with some optimization opportunities in image loading and script management. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features, though these could be improved. Technical risks include potential vulnerabilities from outdated plugins or missing security headers. Modernization opportunities include adopting HTTP/2, implementing advanced caching, and improving accessibility 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.
