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

Dana Petroleum is a medium-sized exploration and production company operating primarily in the UK, Netherlands, and Egypt. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Korea National Oil Corporation, focusing on oil and gas extraction with significant operations in the North Sea. The website presents a professional corporate image with clear business descriptions, key service offerings, and a consistent brand presence. The company targets investors, partners, industry professionals, and potential employees through detailed sections on management, operations, and careers. Technically, the website uses modern web standards including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with integration of Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Plausible Analytics for user tracking and performance monitoring. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, no CMS or hosting provider details were detected, and accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs cookie consent but lacks visible security headers and explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of WHOIS registration data reduces confidence in domain legitimacy, but the professional content and company registration details support trustworthiness. Overall, Dana Petroleum's website is a well-structured, professional corporate site with good technical implementation and privacy compliance. The main risk is the lack of WHOIS transparency and limited published security policies, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance.

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

3 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 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 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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Dana Petroleum holds a strong market position as a subsidiary of Korea National Oil Corporation with a focus on oil and gas exploration and production in key regions including the UK North Sea, Netherlands, and Egypt. The company operates approximately 50 production licenses and reported revenues of £485 million in 2020. Its business model centers on upstream energy activities with a balanced portfolio of exploration, development, and production projects. The website indicates a medium-sized enterprise with a clear corporate governance structure and active recruitment efforts. The presence of certifications like Disability Confident and detailed governance pages suggests a mature organizational culture. The company leverages digital channels for investor relations, media resources, and supplier engagement, indicating a comprehensive partnership ecosystem and strategic market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a cookie consent mechanism supporting GDPR compliance. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels were found. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file limits transparency for security researchers. No signs of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a corporate informational site but could be enhanced by adopting additional security best practices and publishing clear security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen web security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user inclusivity.
  5. Improve WHOIS transparency or provide domain registration details to increase trust and legitimacy perception.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with external resources such as Google Fonts and analytics tools integrated. The presence of Google Tag Manager and Plausible Analytics indicates a modern approach to user tracking and performance measurement. The site is mobile responsive with a structured navigation menu and clear content hierarchy. No CMS or backend platform was identified, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Performance appears moderate with no obvious bottlenecks, but no explicit hosting provider information was found. The site uses canonical URLs and Open Graph metadata for SEO and social media optimization. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security features.
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.
