Risk levelLow

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

Helicopter Alliance is a newly established (2023) consortium of six leading helicopter companies specializing in the full lifecycle of UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters. Their services include sale, delivery, modernization, maintenance, training, and mission equipment installation, targeting military, law enforcement, commercial, and aerial firefighting sectors. The company positions itself as a niche leader with a global presence headquartered in the US and Europe. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies with a focus on multimedia content and responsive design, though some improvements in accessibility and security headers could be made. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and GDPR compliance, but lacks explicit security policies and incident response contacts. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-aligned with its business objectives.

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

1 finding 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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 company operates as an alliance, leveraging partnerships with specialized firms such as ACE Aeronautis and Slovak Training Academy to cover diverse aspects of helicopter lifecycle management. Their business model focuses on customization and modernization of legacy UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, catering to a specialized market segment including defense, firefighting, and security. The presence of multiple partner domains indicates a collaborative ecosystem enhancing service offerings. The recent domain registration aligns with the company's founding date, suggesting a startup phase with growth potential. The website content and structure support clear communication of services and expertise, targeting professional clients and organizations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent mechanisms, and client-side form validation. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represents areas for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which could hinder rapid response to security events. Data collection via contact forms is GDPR compliant with explicit consent, but no dedicated security policy page is found. Overall, the security measures are adequate for the business type but could be enhanced to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses modern HTML5 and CSS3 standards with JavaScript ES modules and custom controllers for UI components. Multimedia elements such as video backgrounds and lazy-loaded images enhance visual appeal but may impact performance on slower networks. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes SEO-friendly meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times and accessibility compliance. The technical implementation supports the business goals effectively but could benefit from additional security and performance enhancements.
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.
