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

Transocean Ltd. operates as a leading offshore drilling contractor specializing in ultra-deepwater and harsh-environment floaters. The company serves a global energy market, providing drilling services with a focus on performance, safety, and operational excellence. The website reflects a mature business with a strong investor relations presence and a professional digital footprint. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking, and employs responsive design with multimedia content to engage users. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and explicit privacy compliance mechanisms. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS implied but lacking explicit security headers and published security policies. Overall, the domain registration and website content align well, indicating a legitimate and trustworthy business presence online.

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

7 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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 company holds a strong market position as a major offshore drilling contractor with a large fleet and international operations. Its business model focuses on providing specialized drilling services to energy sector clients worldwide. The website targets investors, industry professionals, and potential employees, offering detailed investor relations content and career opportunities. The presence of a dedicated investor subdomain and frequent press releases indicates active market engagement. The company leverages partnerships with financial data providers and social media platforms to enhance transparency and outreach. Growth indicators include newbuilds and patents sections, suggesting ongoing innovation and fleet expansion.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage and no visible exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of security headers, vulnerability disclosure policies, and incident response contacts indicates gaps in security best practices. No cookie consent or GDPR compliance mechanisms are evident, which may pose compliance risks. The lack of visible contact emails or phone numbers reduces direct communication channels for security incidents. Overall, the security posture is functional but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical controls to mitigate risks and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve site security.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, SVG graphics, and HTML5 video elements. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses Google Fonts for typography. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. No CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. However, the site lacks advanced accessibility features and explicit security headers. Technical debt appears low but could be improved by adopting security best practices and enhancing privacy compliance.
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.
