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

OPIS, a Dow Jones company, is a leading provider of energy and chemical commodity pricing, news, and analytics services. Established in 1980, it serves a broad audience including refiners, wholesalers, retailers, traders, petrochemical companies, transportation sectors, municipalities, and financial institutions. The company offers benchmark pricing data, real-time market news, software tools for fuel management, and educational events, positioning itself as a definitive price benchmark in the energy market. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including jQuery, FontAwesome, and integrations with HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, and Wistia for video content. The site demonstrates good SEO practices, mobile optimization, and a professional design, though accessibility features could be enhanced. Performance is moderate with room for improvement. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and some security best practices observed, such as rel="noopener noreferrer" on external links. However, explicit security headers like CSP and X-Frame-Options are not clearly present, and no public security or incident response policies are found. The WHOIS data is not publicly available, likely due to privacy protection, which is reasonable for an enterprise of this nature. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned in its market niche. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing security policies, improving accessibility, and adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to further strengthen 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

6 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

  3. 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

OPIS operates in the energy sector providing critical market data and analytics that support decision-making for a diverse client base. Its affiliation with Dow Jones enhances credibility and market reach. The business model is subscription-based with additional revenue from software solutions and educational events. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, including its own domain for customer accounts (opisnet.com). Market positioning is strong as a recognized benchmark provider. Growth indicators include extensive product offerings and global market coverage. The company targets professional market participants, emphasizing data accuracy and timely insights.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing scripts. Security best practices such as rel="noopener noreferrer" on external links are implemented. However, the absence of explicit security headers and public security policies indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not publicly visible, which could be a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader compliance and usability.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential security risks.

It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Twitter tracking. Video content is delivered via Wistia.

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.
