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.

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

BP holds a strong market position as a leading energy company with diversified services spanning traditional oil and gas to renewables and power. The business model includes upstream production, downstream retail, and emerging energy technologies. The website's extensive navigation and content reflect a global footprint and a focus on transparency with investors and stakeholders. The absence of direct contact details in the visible content suggests a controlled communication strategy. The company leverages partnerships and digital tools to enhance user engagement and operational efficiency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates basic security hygiene with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No incident response or security policy information is publicly visible, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. The missing WHOIS data is a concern for domain transparency but may be due to registry policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers to protect against common web attacks.
  2. Provide clear and accessible security and incident response policies on the website.
  3. Publish verified contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries.
  4. Ensure WHOIS data is complete and consistent with corporate identity to improve domain trust.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance disclosures and data retention policies for transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, indicating a robust enterprise-grade platform. It uses Google Tag Manager and Algolia for analytics and search functionality, showing integration of modern marketing and user experience tools. Performance appears moderate with preloading of fonts and assets. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data. However, there is room for improvement in security configurations and explicit privacy disclosures.
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.
