Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and several plugins enhancing user experience and functionality. It employs modern JavaScript libraries and integrates Google Analytics and VisitorQueue for user tracking. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, though some accessibility features could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and employs some security best practices. However, it lacks explicit security headers and does not provide visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the website presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence for Nabors Industries, with recommendations to enhance security policies, privacy compliance, and transparency to further strengthen its risk posture.

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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 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';…

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

Nabors Industries holds a strong market position as a provider of drilling technology and services in the energy sector. Its business model focuses on delivering advanced drilling rigs, automation solutions, and energy transition technologies to operators and contractors globally. The company leverages digital platforms like RigCLOUD to offer instrumentation, analytics, and automation services, indicating a forward-looking approach to digital transformation. Partnerships and subsidiaries such as Canrig and Nabors Energy Transition Ventures expand its portfolio and market reach. The presence of investor relations and public stock information underscores its enterprise scale and transparency. Growth indicators include strategic alliances, digital innovation, and sustainability initiatives. The website's content and structure support these insights, targeting industry professionals and potential employees, with dedicated sections for careers, products, and services. The company’s emphasis on sustainability and energy transition aligns with current industry trends and regulatory pressures.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with mandatory HTTPS enabled and valid SSL certificates. It integrates anonymized IP tracking in Google Analytics, reducing privacy risks. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection represents an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks explicit incident response or security policy pages, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting transparency for security researchers. The use of reputable plugins and modern frameworks supports security, but continuous monitoring and enhancement of security controls are recommended to maintain resilience against evolving threats.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies accessible from the website to improve transparency and preparedness.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to minimize risks from vulnerable components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Divi theme and several plugins that enhance functionality such as mega menus, modal popups, and popups for Divi. It uses jQuery and MediaElement.js for interactive and media features. Google Analytics and VisitorQueue are integrated for analytics and visitor tracking. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO optimization including meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and deferred CSS. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with additional ARIA attributes and keyboard navigation enhancements. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence but could benefit from further optimization and security hardening.
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.
