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

4 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

    • 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.

    • 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

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

NOV operates in the energy sector, providing specialized equipment and services for oilfield operations. Its business model focuses on B2B engagements with energy companies globally. The company maintains a strong market position as a technology innovator with a broad portfolio of products and services. The website highlights investor relations and sustainability efforts, indicating a mature corporate governance structure. The presence of multiple social media channels and a comprehensive content strategy suggests active engagement with stakeholders and customers. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are visible on the homepage, implying structured contact points elsewhere. The domain registration aligns with the company's identity, reinforcing legitimacy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS, multiple security headers, and cookie consent banners. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page, vulnerability disclosure, or incident response contact information indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and Autopilot SDK is noted, which should be regularly audited for security. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit policies and contact channels for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, hosted on Vercel, which supports fast loading times and scalability. The use of CSS modules and optimized images contributes to performance and mobile responsiveness. Analytics and marketing tools such as Vercel Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Autopilot SDK are integrated for user tracking and engagement. The content management system appears to be Contentful or a similar headless CMS, enabling structured content delivery. The technical infrastructure is robust, supporting a professional and user-friendly digital presence with opportunities to further improve accessibility and security transparency.
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.
