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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Aramco's market positioning as one of the largest integrated energy companies is supported by its extensive global footprint, including regional subsidiaries and ventures such as Wa’ed Ventures. The business model focuses on value creation across the hydrocarbon chain, targeting a diverse audience from industry partners to investors and the general public. Revenue streams likely include upstream and downstream energy operations, chemicals manufacturing, and strategic investments. The company maintains a robust partnership ecosystem and demonstrates growth through innovation and sustainability initiatives. The website content and structure reinforce Aramco's credibility and leadership in the energy sector.

Security posture

The website's security maturity is high, with HTTPS and multiple security headers implemented to protect users and data integrity. No immediate vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The presence of incident response contacts and security policies indicates preparedness for security events. However, the lack of a published security.txt file and limited public WHOIS data may reduce transparency slightly. Compliance with GDPR and cookie consent mechanisms is evident, reflecting a commitment to privacy and regulatory adherence. Overall, Aramco's security posture aligns with expectations for a large enterprise in a critical infrastructure sector.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  2. Enhance visibility and accessibility of incident response and abuse contact information on the website.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and tracking tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and data retention practices.
  5. Consider providing more detailed WHOIS information or verified domain registration data to increase trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern technology stack centered around React and JavaScript, supported by Google Tag Manager and analytics services for data-driven insights. Hosting appears to be via a reputable CDN provider (Akamai), contributing to fast load times and excellent mobile responsiveness. The site demonstrates good SEO practices with comprehensive meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine visibility. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced to meet the highest standards. Technical debt appears minimal, and the infrastructure supports scalability and security. Opportunities exist to improve vulnerability disclosure mechanisms and further optimize accessibility.
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.
