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

GSP Holding is an established energy sector company specializing in offshore drilling services and fleet management, with a focus on jack-up rigs and vessels operating primarily in the Black Sea region offshore Turkey. The company maintains a professional web presence with detailed descriptions of its fleet and recent drilling contracts, targeting industry stakeholders and potential clients. The website is built on WordPress with several plugins and integrates Google Analytics for visitor tracking. While the site is accessible and professionally designed, it uses outdated software versions and lacks modern security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which impacts its security posture and privacy compliance. The domain registration data is consistent with the company's operational history, indicating legitimate ownership and control. Overall, the website scores moderately well in content quality and business credibility but requires technical and security improvements 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

7 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
    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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

GSP Holding operates in the offshore energy sector, providing drilling and fleet services with a medium-sized operational footprint. The company has a stable market position supported by a fleet of specialized rigs and vessels and has secured contracts with notable clients such as Trillion Energy. Its business model centers on service provision in offshore drilling, targeting energy companies and investors. The website content and WHOIS data reflect a consistent and credible business presence. However, the lack of visible certifications and limited contact information online may restrict trust-building with new clients. The company appears to maintain partnerships with digital agencies for website development and hosting on AWS infrastructure, indicating a moderate digital maturity level.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place, which are positive security indicators. However, the use of an outdated WordPress version (3.8.1) and old jQuery library (1.3.2) exposes the site to known vulnerabilities. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact channels are provided. The site lacks a cookie consent mechanism, which may lead to GDPR compliance issues. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires urgent updates and policy implementations to mitigate risks.

Recommendations

  1. Update WordPress core and all plugins to the latest stable versions to address known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Deploy a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  5. Publish clear security and incident response policies with dedicated contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on an older version of WordPress (3.8.1) with legacy jQuery (1.3.2), indicating technical debt and potential security risks. Hosting appears to be on AWS infrastructure, as inferred from DNS servers. The site uses several WordPress plugins for galleries, contact forms, and analytics integration. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin but is basic in implementation. The site would benefit from modernization efforts including updating the CMS, improving mobile responsiveness, and enhancing accessibility compliance to improve user experience and reduce technical risks.
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.
