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

Philippine Airlines Inc. operates as the flag carrier airline of the Philippines, offering passenger and cargo air transportation services both domestically and internationally. The company targets a broad audience including leisure travelers, business clients, and cargo customers. It holds a significant market position as the largest airline in the Philippines, providing key services such as flight bookings, cargo logistics, and loyalty programs. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design and comprehensive content tailored to its audience. Technically, the website is built on a modern stack including Angular and Adobe Experience Manager, supported by various marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and OneTrust for cookie consent. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with good SEO and accessibility features. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and standard security headers, although explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available. The security posture is generally strong with no obvious vulnerabilities detected in the content or scripts. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. However, the WHOIS data for the domain is missing or unavailable, which is unusual for a major airline and warrants further verification. Overall, the website demonstrates a high level of professionalism and trustworthiness, though improvements in transparency around security policies and domain registration details are recommended. Strategic recommendations include publishing an incident response policy, establishing a vulnerability disclosure program, enhancing accessibility, and regularly auditing third-party scripts to maintain security and compliance. These steps will strengthen the company's security culture and enhance user trust.

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

3 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 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

Philippine Airlines holds a dominant position in the Philippine air transportation sector as the national flag carrier. Its business model revolves around passenger and cargo air services, supported by a loyalty program to retain customers. The company leverages digital marketing extensively, integrating multiple advertising and tracking platforms to optimize customer engagement and sales. The website content and structure indicate a focus on user experience and clear communication of travel advisories and services. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly but does not detract from the company's established market presence. Partnerships with major ad networks and analytics providers suggest a well-developed ecosystem supporting its operations.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements key security headers, reflecting adherence to standard web security best practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of publicly available incident response or vulnerability disclosure information indicates a potential gap in transparency and readiness. The extensive use of third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security audits to mitigate risks. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are comprehensive and GDPR-compliant, supporting data protection obligations. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing and publishing security policies and response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal incident response policy accessible on the website.
  2. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Enhance website accessibility features to meet higher standards.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies.
  5. Increase transparency around domain registration and ownership information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website utilizes a modern technology stack with Angular framework and Adobe Experience Manager CMS, enabling dynamic content delivery and scalability. Integration with multiple marketing and analytics tools supports data-driven decision-making. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, particularly in mobile responsiveness and accessibility. The site includes comprehensive meta tags and SEO optimizations, contributing to good search engine visibility. Technical risks include reliance on numerous third-party scripts which require vigilant security management to prevent vulnerabilities. The absence of hosting provider details limits full infrastructure assessment.
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.
