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

Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. is a leading integrated energy company in India with a significant global presence. The company operates across multiple sectors including refining, marketing, pipelines, petrochemicals, natural gas, LPG distribution, explosives, and cryogenics. The website reflects a mature enterprise with comprehensive business information, investor relations, and customer engagement portals targeting motorists, households, businesses, investors, suppliers, and partners. IndianOil maintains a strong market position as a top petroleum company in India with a diversified portfolio of energy products and services. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Bootstrap, Font Awesome, and integrates with major analytics and marketing platforms like Google Tag Manager and Facebook SDK. The site is hosted with Cloudflare DNS and uses HTTPS with strong security headers, indicating a good level of digital maturity and security awareness. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed, providing a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS, uses security headers, and restricts domain transfer, which are positive indicators. However, it lacks explicit security policy documentation, incident response contacts, and a vulnerability disclosure program. Cookie consent mechanisms are not evident, which may impact privacy compliance, especially under GDPR. The WHOIS data confirms the domain's legitimacy with a long registration history consistent with the company's established presence. Overall, IndianOil's website is professional, secure, and business credible with minor gaps in privacy compliance and security transparency. Strategic improvements in these areas would enhance trust and regulatory alignment.

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

3 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.

    • 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

  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.

    • 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

IndianOil holds a dominant position in the Indian energy sector, leveraging a vertically integrated business model that spans refining, distribution, and marketing of petroleum products, natural gas, and petrochemicals. Its diversified services cater to a broad customer base including individual consumers, households, commercial businesses, and investors. The company benefits from a strong brand presence, extensive infrastructure, and a network of subsidiaries and joint ventures that extend its reach internationally. IndianOil's revenue streams are diversified across fuel sales, LPG distribution, petrochemical products, and pipeline services. The company actively engages with stakeholders through investor relations, CSR initiatives, and supplier partnerships, indicating a mature and well-structured operational ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of multiple security headers (HSTS, X-Frame-Options, CSP, etc.), and domain transfer restrictions. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contact details, and vulnerability disclosure program represents gaps in security transparency and incident readiness. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism also poses privacy compliance risks. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be improved by formalizing security governance and enhancing user privacy controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Designate and disclose Data Protection Officer contact details to improve privacy governance and compliance.

Integration with Google Tag Manager and Facebook SDK supports analytics and marketing efforts. Hosting is supported by Cloudflare DNS, providing performance and security benefits. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility features and SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed.

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.
