Risk levelLow

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

Gold Fields is a large, global gold mining company with operations in multiple countries. The website presents a professional corporate image with a focus on gold mining and sustainability. The technical infrastructure includes modern web technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for consent management. The site is mobile optimized and uses HTTPS with tracking and marketing tools integrated with user consent. However, the absence of WHOIS data and registrant information is unusual and warrants further investigation. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies. Overall, the website is credible and professional but could improve transparency and security practices.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

Gold Fields operates in the energy sector focusing on gold mining. The company targets investors, stakeholders, and industry professionals. The business model revolves around sustainable mining and resource extraction. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting a large enterprise market position. The company uses multiple analytics and marketing tools to engage and track visitors, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. No direct contact or detailed corporate registration information is found on the site, which is a minor gap in business transparency.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR principles. It integrates Google Analytics, Adobe Analytics, and Meta Pixel for tracking with user consent. However, no explicit security headers were detected, and no published security or incident response policies were found. The lack of WHOIS data reduces trust in domain registration transparency. There are no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data in the HTML content. The security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by adding security headers, publishing security policies, and providing incident response contacts.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages.
  2. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  5. Provide clear company contact information including emails and phone numbers for support and security inquiries.

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.
