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

Safran Group is a leading multinational enterprise specializing in aerospace, defense, and transportation technologies. The company offers a broad portfolio of products and services including aircraft propulsion, equipment, and defense systems, serving a global customer base. Their website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, clear navigation, and strong branding consistency. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10, hosted likely on AWS infrastructure, and employs modern analytics and marketing tools such as Matomo and Google Tag Manager. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and anti-CSRF protections, though explicit security headers and incident response contacts could be improved. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a detailed cookie consent mechanism and GDPR-aligned policies. The absence of WHOIS data is a minor concern but does not detract significantly from the overall trustworthiness given the professional presentation and corporate transparency. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security header disclosures, publishing a security policy, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure program.

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

5 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. 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

  3. 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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 13 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography

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

Safran holds a strong market position in aerospace and defense sectors, leveraging a diversified business model focused on B2B manufacturing and technology solutions. The company operates globally with 276 locations in 27 countries and multiple subsidiaries. Their business model emphasizes innovation, operational excellence, and sustainability, targeting aerospace manufacturers, defense agencies, and industrial partners. The website supports investor relations and recruitment efforts, indicating a mature organizational structure. Growth indicators include active participation in major industry events like the Paris Air Show and a robust job opening pipeline. Partnerships and subsidiaries are clearly presented, reinforcing corporate transparency and ecosystem strength.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS, session management cookies, and anti-CSRF tokens. Cookie consent is actively managed, reflecting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of explicit security policy documentation and incident response contact information limits transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The use of third-party scripts is controlled but should be regularly audited. The security score is good but could be improved by publishing detailed security policies and establishing a formal vulnerability disclosure channel.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response procedures and contact information.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Audit and confirm presence of all recommended security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Enhance transparency on data retention and processing policies related to analytics and marketing cookies.
  5. Consider providing direct company contact emails and phone numbers for improved user trust and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, indicating a modern and maintainable platform. Hosting appears to leverage AWS infrastructure, supported by load balancing cookies. The site uses Matomo for analytics, providing privacy-focused tracking, and Google Tag Manager for marketing tag management. Performance is moderate with video content and rich media, balanced by responsive design and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Opportunities exist to optimize security headers and streamline third-party script usage to reduce potential risks. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional corporate web presence with room for incremental improvements.
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.
