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

Esso S.A.F., a subsidiary of ExxonMobil, operates in France as a long-established petroleum refining and product commercialization company since 1902. The website presents a professional corporate presence with detailed information about its industrial operations, strategic priorities, and governance. The digital infrastructure leverages modern web technologies including JavaScript, Google Tag Manager, and OneTrust for cookie consent, ensuring a compliant and user-friendly experience. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS usage and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security headers and policies are not visible. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain trust verification but the strong corporate branding and linkage to ExxonMobil's global network support legitimacy. Overall, the site is well-structured, accessible, and targeted at stakeholders and the general public interested in the energy sector in France.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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

The company holds a significant position in the French energy market, focusing on refining crude oil and distributing petroleum products. Its business model involves international crude oil procurement, local refining in two French facilities, and product commercialization. The website reflects a mature corporate entity with a clear governance structure and strategic outlook. The presence of multiple regional ExxonMobil sites linked from the page indicates a broad partnership ecosystem. The site targets investors, customers, and partners, emphasizing sustainability and corporate social responsibility. Growth indicators include strategic priorities and decarbonization efforts. The lack of direct contact information on the homepage suggests a controlled communication channel, typical for large enterprises.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates a cookie consent banner compliant with GDPR, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics, which is standard but requires proper configuration to avoid privacy issues. No explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and no vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published. The absence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries is positive. However, the lack of published security policies and contact channels for security incidents represents a compliance gap. The overall security maturity is moderate, suitable for a corporate informational site but with room for improvement in transparency and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Provide clear company contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize user tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with asynchronous JavaScript loading, custom fonts, and CSS optimizations. Google Tag Manager and OneTrust scripts are integrated for analytics and cookie consent management. Hosting appears to leverage a CDN, likely Akamai, for performance. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS or backend technology is explicitly detected. Performance is moderate, with many preloaded scripts and fonts indicating a balance between functionality and speed. Technical debt appears low, but continuous monitoring is recommended to maintain performance and security.
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.
