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

ORLEN Upstream Canada is a corporate entity within the ORLEN Group, focusing on upstream oil and gas operations in Canada. The website serves as an informational portal linking to various ORLEN subsidiaries and related companies. The technical infrastructure is based on Microsoft SharePoint with standard web technologies including jQuery and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. Google Analytics is used for visitor tracking. Security posture is moderate with cookie consent implemented but lacking visible advanced security headers or explicit security policies. WHOIS data is unavailable, which reduces domain trustworthiness, but the website content and extensive linkage to official ORLEN domains support legitimacy. Overall, the site is basic in design and content quality, suitable for industry stakeholders and partners.

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. 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. 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

The ORLEN Group is a large energy conglomerate with diversified subsidiaries in energy production, refining, and related services. ORLEN Upstream Canada represents the upstream segment in the Canadian market. The business model focuses on exploration and production of oil and gas resources. The website targets industry professionals, investors, and partners, providing corporate information and links to other ORLEN entities. The presence of multiple related domains indicates a broad partnership and subsidiary ecosystem. The lack of direct contact information on the site suggests a focus on corporate communication through other channels or parent company sites.

Security posture

The website demonstrates basic security awareness through the implementation of a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, there is no evidence of advanced security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, or X-Frame-Options in the HTML content. No incident response or security policy pages are present, and no security contact emails were found. The absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy, which should be verified. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by adding explicit security policies, enhancing SSL/TLS configuration, and publishing incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and update domain WHOIS registration to ensure transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish clear security and incident response policies accessible from the website.
  4. Add verified company contact information including emails and phone numbers for transparency.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility compliance to improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Microsoft SharePoint platform using ASP.NET Web Forms technology. It uses jQuery libraries and Cookiebot for cookie management. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking. The site loads multiple CSS stylesheets and JavaScript files, some asynchronously. Performance is moderate with no explicit optimization indicators. Mobile responsiveness is basic, and accessibility features are minimal but present. SEO optimization is basic with meta tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected. The site lacks visible security headers and advanced security configurations. Overall, the technical infrastructure is stable but dated and could benefit from modernization and security enhancements.
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.
