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

SPH Engineering operates a professional drone flight planning software platform named UgCS, targeting UAV operators, surveyors, and inspection teams globally. The company offers advanced mission planning and flight control solutions compatible with a wide range of drones including DJI, FreeFly, and others compliant with the Blue UAS list. Their software supports complex missions such as LiDAR, photogrammetry, and corridor mapping, emphasizing precision and automation. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, multimedia tutorials, and integration with popular drone hardware and software ecosystems. Technically, the site is built on modern web technologies with strong performance, mobile optimization, and SEO practices. Security posture is robust with HTTPS, security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities, though explicit security policies and incident response information are absent. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies. However, the lack of WHOIS registrant data reduces transparency and slightly impacts trustworthiness. Overall, SPH Engineering presents a credible and professional business with a strong market position in drone software solutions.

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

2 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.

    • 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.

    • 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

Business profile

SPH Engineering is positioned as a specialized technology provider in the drone software industry, focusing on flight planning and control for commercial UAV applications. Their business model revolves around software licensing and hardware integration, targeting professional users in surveying, inspection, and mapping sectors. The company leverages partnerships and a broad drone compatibility portfolio to maintain competitive advantage. Their ecosystem includes educational programs, reseller networks, and complementary products like drone show software. The presence of detailed tutorials and manuals indicates a customer-centric approach. Market signals suggest a medium-sized enterprise with a global reach but no explicit country or founding year disclosed. The company maintains a consistent brand identity and strong trust signals through compliance with recognized standards like Blue UAS and NDAA-compliant drone support.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no exposed sensitive data. The use of reputable analytics and tracking tools is balanced with privacy compliance measures including cookie consent and GDPR-aligned policies. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and preparedness perception. No direct security contact channels were found, which could hinder incident reporting and response. The WHOIS data absence is a concern for domain ownership verification but does not directly impact site security. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security governance documents and contact points.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Add direct company contact emails and phone numbers for sales, support, and security inquiries to enhance communication.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Update WHOIS domain registration details to improve domain ownership transparency and trustworthiness.

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.
