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

The Flight Makers is an online travel agency specializing in affordable flight bookings and airfare deals. Established in 2015, the company targets travelers seeking cost-effective flight options globally. The website offers a flight search engine, coupon codes, and customer support via phone and live chat, positioning itself as a customer-friendly service provider in the transportation sector. Technically, the site is built on ASP.NET WebForms with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Owl Carousel, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS. While the site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, it lacks advanced security headers and privacy compliance features such as a privacy or cookie policy. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing important headers and DNSSEC. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, indicating legitimacy and stability.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 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

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

The Flight Makers operates in the competitive online travel market, leveraging partnerships with bookingtrolley.com for flight search and booking services. Its business model focuses on aggregating deals from over 150 airlines and providing coupon incentives to attract customers. The company appears to be a small-sized entity with a consistent brand presence and customer support infrastructure. The absence of detailed privacy and security policies may impact trust and compliance, but the visible contact channels and live chat support enhance customer engagement. The use of multiple external libraries and tracking tools suggests moderate digital marketing efforts.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, but lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are essential to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No evidence of a formal security policy or incident response contacts was found. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Forms collect personal data (name, email, phone) without visible privacy disclosures. The security score is moderate, with recommendations to implement security headers, enable DNSSEC, and publish privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to enhance protection.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  4. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to build trust and readiness.
  5. Conduct a security audit of form inputs and data handling to prevent injection and data leakage.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a legacy ASP.NET WebForms platform combined with modern front-end libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and Owl Carousel. The hosting is behind Cloudflare DNS but lacks DNSSEC. Performance is moderate with multiple external scripts and stylesheets preloaded. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and adaptive UI elements. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is basic with room for improvement. The technical stack is functional but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
