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

6 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • 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

  3. 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';…

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

Emirates SkyCargo holds a dominant position in the global air cargo market, leveraging the Emirates Group's extensive passenger and freighter fleet. Their competitive advantage lies in a young and efficient fleet, a broad global network, and specialized verticals such as life sciences, aerospace, and secure cargo. The business model is service-oriented, targeting commercial clients needing reliable and specialized air freight solutions. Revenue streams likely include freight charges, charter services, and value-added logistics solutions. The company targets industries such as pharmaceuticals, aerospace, perishables, and high-value goods. Growth indicators include network expansion, new service launches, and enhanced digital booking channels. The partnership ecosystem includes Emirates Group subsidiaries and digital platforms like eskycargo.emirates.com. The website content and structure support a strong brand presence and customer engagement strategy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including HSTS, CSP, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. The use of secure external links and monitoring tools like AppDynamics and Boomerang indicates proactive performance and security management. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page was found. The site uses secure forms but lacks explicit details on anti-CSRF or input validation mechanisms in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is high with room for improvement in policy transparency and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Ensure all forms include anti-CSRF tokens and robust input validation to prevent injection attacks.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance direct security contact options, such as a dedicated security@ or abuse@ email address.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack, likely using React or a similar SPA framework, with chunked JavaScript for performance optimization. It integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing, AppDynamics for application performance monitoring, and Boomerang for real user monitoring. The use of Leaflet provides interactive mapping capabilities. The site is hosted on a robust infrastructure, possibly leveraging Akamai CDN. Performance is optimized with preloading of fonts and images, and the site is fully responsive with good accessibility features. Technical debt appears minimal, and the site follows best practices for SEO and user experience. Opportunities exist to further modernize by adopting progressive web app features and enhancing security headers with additional policies like Feature-Policy or Permissions-Policy.
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.
