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. The company offers benchmark pricing data, market insights, and software solutions to a broad audience including refiners, wholesalers, retailers, traders, and financial institutions. Their market position is strong, serving as a definitive price benchmark in the energy sector since 1980. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, comprehensive content, and extensive use of marketing and analytics tools. However, the absence of WHOIS data and lack of visible privacy and cookie policies indicate areas for improvement in transparency and compliance. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and best practices in place, but could benefit from enhanced security headers and explicit incident response information. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but should address compliance and domain legitimacy concerns to strengthen its security and privacy 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. 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 and transportation sectors, providing essential market data and analytics services. Their business model is subscription-based, targeting industry professionals who require accurate and timely pricing and market information. The affiliation with Dow Jones enhances credibility and market reach. The company leverages partnerships and a broad product portfolio including pricing reports, software tools, and educational events. The website's extensive content and structured navigation support diverse customer segments. Growth indicators include active marketing, social media engagement, and continuous product updates. Strategic observations suggest focusing on enhancing privacy compliance and domain registration transparency to maintain competitive advantage and trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of secure link attributes, and asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and responsiveness to security issues. Compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations is not clearly indicated, which may pose regulatory risks. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for business operations but can be improved by formalizing policies and enhancing technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve privacy compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen technical security.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and provide clear contact channels for security and abuse reporting.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing tools for security vulnerabilities and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including jQuery, FontAwesome, and various marketing and analytics integrations such as HubSpot and Google Tag Manager. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices via Yoast SEO plugin. The site uses asynchronous script loading to improve speed and user experience. Accessibility features are basic but present. There is no indication of hosting provider from the HTML content. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring. Opportunities exist to enhance accessibility and implement advanced security headers to reduce attack surface.
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.
