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

Expertise Company Ltd is a leading industrial service provider headquartered in Al Jubail, Saudi Arabia, with a strong presence across the kingdom. Established in 2008, the company offers a broad range of services including industrial services, equipment rental, manufacturing modular buildings, facility management, civil construction, and trading of industrial materials. With a workforce exceeding 15,000 employees and over 500 satisfied clients, Expertise holds a dominant market position in the energy and industrial sectors of KSA. The company emphasizes safety, having achieved 83 million safe man hours without lost time injury, underscoring its commitment to operational excellence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Avada theme, integrating modern web technologies such as jQuery and MediaElement.js for media playback. It employs Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight for analytics and marketing, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices but lacks advanced accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain-level protections like EPP locks but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for enhanced protection. There is no visible privacy policy, cookie consent mechanism, or incident response information, representing compliance gaps. The WHOIS data is consistent with the business claims, showing a long-standing domain registration without privacy protection, which supports legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from improved privacy compliance and enhanced security practices to align with best industry standards.

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

6 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 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

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

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

Expertise Company Ltd operates as a comprehensive industrial services provider targeting sectors such as petrochemical, oil & gas, power generation, and construction within Saudi Arabia. Its business model integrates multiple service lines including equipment rental, modular building manufacturing, and facility management, supported by a large workforce and extensive in-house equipment. The company leverages partnerships with entities like Standard Arabia and Ocean Wings to expand its service offerings. Market positioning is strong, being recognized as the largest industrial service provider in KSA for over a decade. The website content and social media presence reinforce its credibility and client trust. Growth indicators include a large employee base and significant safe man hours logged. The company’s digital footprint shows moderate use of analytics and marketing tools but lacks transparency in privacy and security policies.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, and domain registration includes protective EPP status codes, which prevent unauthorized domain transfers or deletions. However, the absence of DNSSEC leaves the domain vulnerable to DNS spoofing attacks. The website does not implement common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security, which could mitigate risks like clickjacking and protocol downgrade attacks. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, limiting transparency and preparedness. The use of third-party tracking scripts introduces privacy considerations without visible consent mechanisms. Overall, while basic security measures are in place, there is room for significant improvement to meet modern security and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and enhance domain security.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common web attacks.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature WordPress platform using the Avada theme, which provides a flexible and responsive design. The integration of jQuery and MediaElement.js supports interactive and multimedia content. Google Tag Manager and social media pixels are used for analytics and marketing, indicating a data-driven approach. Hosting appears to be managed via GoDaddy, consistent with the registrar information. Performance is moderate, with no critical errors detected, and the site is mobile-optimized. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers suggests some technical debt in security hardening. The site’s SEO is well implemented with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD), enhancing search engine visibility. Accessibility is basic, with some features like font size adjustment available but could be improved further.
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.
