59/100

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

Korean Air operates as a major airline company primarily serving air travelers with passenger and cargo transportation services. The website branding and metadata confirm the business identity as a South Korean airline with an enterprise scale. The technical infrastructure leverages Amazon Web Services for hosting and Akamai for content delivery, supplemented by multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools such as Dynatrace, Quantum Metric, Adobe DTM, and Google Tag Manager. However, the website lacks a valid SSL/TLS certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support, which is a critical security deficiency. Security headers are present but insufficient without HTTPS, and no privacy or cookie policies are detected, indicating gaps in compliance and user trust mechanisms. The website content is accessible without WAF or security challenges, but the absence of contact information and legal policies reduces overall credibility. The domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the site requires urgent security improvements and enhanced privacy compliance to meet modern standards.

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.

    • 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

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Korean Air holds a strong market position as a leading airline in South Korea with international recognition. Its business model focuses on air transportation services for passengers and cargo. The company targets air travelers and logistics customers. The website's use of advanced analytics and marketing tools suggests a mature digital marketing strategy. However, the lack of visible contact details and legal policies on the website may impact customer trust and regulatory compliance. The domain age and DNS configuration are consistent with a reputable enterprise. There is no evidence of subsidiaries or parent company information in the provided data. The business appears to maintain consistent branding but could improve transparency and user engagement through better contact and policy disclosures.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL/TLS certificate and lack of HTTPS support, which is a critical vulnerability for any modern website, especially one handling customer interactions. While some security headers like X-Content-Type-Options, X-XSS-Protection, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options are present, their effectiveness is limited without HTTPS. No vulnerable libraries or known exploits are detected in the scripts, but the extensive use of third-party tracking and marketing scripts increases the attack surface. There is no evidence of incident response or security policy documentation on the site. The lack of privacy and cookie policies further exposes compliance risks. Immediate remediation should focus on enabling HTTPS with a valid certificate and publishing comprehensive security and privacy policies.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement and publish clear privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and global privacy compliance.
  3. Add visible and verified contact information including emails and phone numbers to enhance trust and customer support.
  4. Review and limit third-party tracking scripts to reduce privacy risks and improve site performance.
  5. Establish and communicate a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Amazon S3 and delivered via Akamai CDN, indicating a robust cloud infrastructure. The tech stack includes advanced analytics and marketing tools such as Dynatrace, Quantum Metric, Adobe DTM, Google Tag Manager, Queue-it, and Sherpa Widget. However, the site lacks a CMS or framework indication and does not implement modern TLS protocols or cipher suites. Performance metrics are unavailable, but the presence of multiple deferred scripts and third-party integrations may impact load times. The site includes basic Open Graph metadata but lacks JSON-LD structured data for SEO enhancement. Mobile optimization and accessibility cannot be fully assessed from the provided data but appear basic. The DNS configuration is standard with Google MX servers and AWS nameservers but lacks DNSSEC and CAA records, which could improve DNS security.
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.
