SolarStratos is an innovative Swiss-based project by SolarXplorers SA focused on pioneering solar-powered stratospheric flight to demonstrate sustainable technology and climate protection. The website presents a professional and well-structured digital presence with rich multimedia content, targeting eco-conscious audiences and aviation enthusiasts. The project leverages sponsorships and memberships to support its mission. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor and integrates modern tracking and marketing tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks visible security headers and explicit security policies. WHOIS data is missing, which raises some legitimacy concerns, though the active social media presence and detailed contact information mitigate this risk. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professionally maintained but would benefit from enhanced transparency in domain registration and security disclosures.

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.
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.

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.

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

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.

Business context
Business profile
SolarStratos occupies a niche market at the intersection of renewable energy and aerospace innovation. Its competitive advantage lies in its unique mission to reach the edge of space using solar energy, appealing to environmentally conscious stakeholders and technology pioneers. The business model relies on sponsorships, partnerships, and a membership club to fund and promote the project. The company maintains strong Swiss roots while engaging an international audience through multilingual content and social media. The partnership with Diabolo Design for web presence indicates strategic collaboration. Growth indicators include recent news updates and active community engagement. However, the absence of detailed corporate registration data online suggests a need for improved transparency to strengthen investor and public confidence.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and GDPR-compliant cookie consent. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No forms or user input fields are present on the homepage, minimizing attack surface. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and preparedness perception. The missing WHOIS data is a notable gap that could affect trust and domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational site but should be enhanced with standard security headers and published policies to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.
Recommendations
Implement and configure essential security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve site security.
Publish explicit security policies and incident response procedures on the website to enhance transparency and trust.
Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS registration data to ensure domain legitimacy and compliance.
Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and maintain GDPR compliance.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building, supported by jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements. SEO is enhanced via Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and structured JSON-LD data. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics and marketing scripts. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility features are basic and could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The site uses multiple external domains for analytics and social media integration, which are standard for marketing but require ongoing privacy management. No critical technical debt or vulnerabilities were detected in the HTML content, but security header absence is a technical risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and engaging user experience with room for security and accessibility enhancements.
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.
