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

PADI is a globally recognized leader in scuba diving education, offering a comprehensive range of courses, certifications, and dive-related services. The website reflects a mature digital presence with multilingual support, e-commerce capabilities, and integrated travel and conservation initiatives. Technically, the site is built on Drupal 10 and leverages modern analytics and marketing tools, ensuring good performance and user experience. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, consent management, and no visible vulnerabilities, although explicit security headers should be verified at the HTTP level.

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

2 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 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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

PADI operates in the education and retail sectors, targeting scuba divers and ocean enthusiasts worldwide. Its business model includes training courses, certification card sales, memberships, and travel bookings. The brand enjoys a strong market position with extensive user engagement and partnerships. The ecosystem includes multiple related domains for specialized services, enhancing customer experience and revenue streams. The company demonstrates strategic use of digital marketing and analytics to maintain competitive advantage and customer loyalty.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and multiple security best practices including nonce usage and consent management. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly visible, suggesting room for improvement in transparency. The absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page limits responsible vulnerability reporting. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced policy disclosures and header verification.

Recommendations

  1. Verify and enforce comprehensive HTTP security headers including X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance data retention and privacy policy disclosures to align with evolving compliance requirements.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10, a modern and secure CMS platform, and integrates advanced analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Datadog RUM, Hotjar, and Microsoft Clarity for performance and user behavior insights. Marketing tools like Visual Website Optimizer and TrustArc consent management are used for optimization and compliance. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and resource optimization. The technical infrastructure supports a robust and scalable user experience aligned with business goals.
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.
