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

Head Aero is a specialized aviation company focused on aircraft material trading, repair, leasing, and maintenance services. Established in 2015, the company holds multiple industry certifications including ASA-100, ISO, FAA, and EASA, positioning itself as a reputable global aviation solutions provider. Their service portfolio includes landing gear MRO, aircraft teardown, infrastructure development, and 24/7 AOG support, targeting aviation industry professionals and businesses worldwide. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with clear service descriptions and social media presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor and Yoast SEO, hosted with DNS managed by Cloudflare and registered via GoDaddy. The site is moderately performant, mobile-optimized, and SEO-friendly, though some accessibility features could be improved. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections in place, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. The site includes a cookie consent banner indicating some privacy compliance, but lacks explicit privacy and terms of service policies. Security-wise, no critical vulnerabilities or WAF blocking were detected. However, the absence of security headers and vulnerability disclosure policies suggests room for improvement in security best practices. The Google Analytics plugin is installed but not configured, indicating incomplete analytics setup. Overall, the site is trustworthy and credible but could enhance privacy compliance and security transparency. The overall risk is moderate with no immediate critical issues, but strategic improvements in privacy policy publication, security headers, DNSSEC, and incident response documentation are recommended to strengthen trust and compliance.

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 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';…

  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

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

Head Aero operates in the transportation sector, specifically aviation services, with a business model centered on B2B trading, repair, leasing, and infrastructure consulting. Their certifications and global presence indicate a competitive advantage in quality and regulatory compliance. The company targets aviation operators, maintenance organizations, and leasing companies. Revenue streams likely include sales of aircraft materials, leasing fees, repair services, and consulting. The website's content and social media links suggest active engagement and brand consistency. No direct parent or subsidiary companies were identified. The company shows growth potential through diversified services and certifications, but lacks publicly visible detailed business intelligence such as financials or partnerships on the website.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections that prevent unauthorized changes. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program indicates gaps in compliance and readiness. Cookie consent is implemented, but privacy policy is missing, which may impact GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate informational site but should be enhanced to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service on the website to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Configure Google Analytics properly or remove the plugin if not used to avoid unnecessary data collection risks.
  5. Develop and publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure program to demonstrate security maturity and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform with Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a mature and widely supported technical stack. DNS is managed via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits, though DNSSEC is not enabled. The site loads jQuery and several Elementor-related CSS and JS assets. Performance is moderate with some optimization potential. Mobile responsiveness is good, but accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) are well implemented, enhancing search engine visibility. The site lacks advanced security headers and has an unconfigured analytics plugin, suggesting some technical debt and opportunities for modernization and hardening.
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.
