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

NOVA Performance Paragliders is a well-established manufacturer specializing in innovative performance paragliders since 1989. The company holds a strong market position in the transportation and outdoor sports manufacturing sector, offering a wide range of certified paragliding equipment including gliders, harnesses, parachutes, and accessories. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with comprehensive product information and certifications, targeting paragliding enthusiasts and pilots globally. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern frontend technologies such as JavaScript and SVG graphics. It demonstrates good mobile optimization, SEO practices, and a cookie consent mechanism, indicating a mature digital presence. However, some security best practices like HTTP security headers and explicit incident response contacts are not evident. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has implemented cookie consent, but lacks visible security headers and detailed security policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is common and justified for this business type, though it limits transparency. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and compliant with GDPR. The risk level is low, but improvements in security headers and incident response transparency are recommended to enhance security posture and trust further.

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

9 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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

  2. 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';…

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

NOVA operates in the niche market of performance paragliders, leveraging decades of experience since 1989. Their business model focuses on manufacturing and retailing high-quality paragliding equipment, supported by a strong pilots team and service offerings. The company targets outdoor sports enthusiasts and pilots, positioning itself as a leader in innovation and certification compliance. Their digital ecosystem includes multilingual support and social media engagement, which supports global market reach. The absence of direct contact details on the homepage suggests a controlled communication channel, possibly via dedicated service pages. The company appears medium-sized with a focused product portfolio and a clear brand identity.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and cookie consent implemented, reflecting compliance with privacy regulations. However, the absence of HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces the overall security robustness. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no security.txt file is found, which could hinder rapid incident handling. No vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were detected in the content. The WHOIS privacy protection is justified but limits transparency. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be improved with enhanced headers and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident communication.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Maintain transparency by providing clear business contact information and certifications.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by TYPO3 CMS, a robust and scalable content management system suitable for medium to large enterprises. The frontend uses modern JavaScript libraries and SVG for graphics, ensuring good visual quality and responsiveness. The site includes multiple CSS files for styling and uses meta tags effectively for SEO and social media integration. Performance appears moderate with compressed JavaScript assets and responsive images. Mobile optimization is good, supported by media queries and adaptive images. However, no explicit hosting provider information is available, and security headers are missing, which could be a technical risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from security hardening and performance tuning.
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.
