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

9 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

  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 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';…

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

  • Email security: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

OiLSERV operates in the energy sector, specifically providing integrated oilfield services across MENA. Their business model focuses on delivering tailored, market-leading solutions with a strong emphasis on ethics, quality, and safety. The company targets oil and gas operators requiring drilling, workover, cementing, logging, and production services. Testimonials and ISO 14001 environmental compliance indicate a commitment to quality and sustainability. The website content and structured data suggest a large-sized enterprise with a well-established market position. The company leverages digital marketing tools like SEO and analytics to enhance visibility and client engagement. No direct parent or subsidiary companies are identified, indicating independent operation. The presence of a careers page and contact forms suggests active talent acquisition and client interaction.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses security mechanisms such as Google reCAPTCHA and hCaptcha to protect forms from automated abuse. Cookie consent management aligns with GDPR requirements, indicating good privacy practices. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. No security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML content, suggesting potential for enhancement. No vulnerable libraries or exposed credentials were found. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good, with strengths in encryption and privacy but weaknesses in transparency and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Add incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using modern plugins like Yoast SEO for search optimization and WPBakery Page Builder for content management. It integrates Google Analytics for traffic analysis and employs Google reCAPTCHA and hCaptcha for bot mitigation. The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Performance is moderate, with caching and minification evident. The domain is hosted on an unidentified provider but uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Technical debt appears low, but security header implementation could be improved. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and user-friendly experience with opportunities for 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.
