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

2 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

IAG operates as a parent company managing multiple airline subsidiaries, leveraging a diversified portfolio to maintain a strong market position in the European and global aviation sectors. The business model centers on airline operations, loyalty programs, and cargo services. The website emphasizes transparency through investor relations, financial reporting, and sustainability initiatives, indicating a commitment to corporate responsibility and shareholder value. The presence of multiple subsidiary domains and cross-links highlights a well-integrated brand ecosystem.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism with granular user controls, reflecting good privacy compliance. However, explicit security headers are not detected, and no dedicated security or incident response policies are published. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the HTML content. The security posture is solid but could be enhanced by publishing security policies, incident response contacts, and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Create and publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to facilitate vulnerability reporting and security communications.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to formalize the process for external security researchers to report issues.
  5. Continue to monitor and update cookie consent mechanisms to maintain GDPR compliance and enhance user privacy controls.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, Vimeo for video content, and Civic CookieControl for cookie management. It is built on the Umbraco CMS platform, which supports structured content management and scalability. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. There is room for improvement in performance optimization and adding more advanced security headers. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly digital presence aligned with enterprise standards.
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.
