Medium risk. 3 critical or high findings in Security headers and SSL/TLS.

Security score

74/100

Risk levelMedium

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

RUAG International is a large, established technology and manufacturing company specializing in aerospace and defense sectors. The company offers key services including aerostructures manufacturing, space technology, and defense technology, positioning itself as a trusted international player with a strong brand presence. The website reflects a professional corporate identity with clear navigation and relevant content targeted at industry professionals and partners. Technically, the site is built on Drupal CMS, uses modern web technologies such as Google Fonts, Matomo analytics, and Google Maps API, and implements cookie consent mechanisms for privacy compliance. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and security headers present, though explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosures are absent. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency but does not detract from the professional presentation of the website. Overall, RUAG International's digital presence is solid but could benefit from enhanced transparency in privacy and security documentation.

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 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 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. 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

RUAG International operates primarily in the aerospace and defense manufacturing sectors, serving B2B clients globally. The company leverages its decades of experience and innovation to maintain a competitive edge, with subsidiaries across Europe. Its business model focuses on high-quality manufacturing and technology services, supported by a strong brand and media presence. The website's content and linked domains indicate a well-structured partnership and subsidiary ecosystem, including the Beyond Gravity brand for space technology. Growth indicators include active media releases and strategic rebranding efforts. The company targets industry professionals, investors, and partners, emphasizing compliance and corporate governance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, indicating GDPR awareness. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response procedures, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS data is a notable anomaly that could impact trust but may be due to privacy protection or WHOIS server issues. Overall, the security posture is good but would benefit from enhanced documentation and public security communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly linked from the homepage.
  2. Add explicit security and incident response policies accessible to users.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact.
  5. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to improve domain trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal CMS and uses modern web technologies including Google Fonts, Matomo analytics, and Google Maps API. It is mobile optimized with responsive images and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The site includes a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR requirements. No broken elements or errors were detected in the HTML content. The technical infrastructure supports a professional corporate presence but could be enhanced with improved performance tuning and more detailed metadata for SEO and accessibility.
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.
