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

Pan American Energy (PAE) is a leading integrated private energy company operating primarily in Argentina and the Latin American region. The company focuses on upstream oil and gas operations, downstream refining and distribution, and renewable energy projects. It positions itself as a major producer, employer, and investor in the energy sector of Argentina, with presence in neighboring countries. The website reflects a corporate and professional image with clear navigation and multilingual support, targeting investors, suppliers, and job seekers. Technically, the site is built on Microsoft SharePoint and ASP.NET technologies, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks for UI and analytics integration. However, the absence of HTTPS and SSL certificates is a critical security flaw, exposing users to potential risks. Security headers are partially implemented, but key protections like HSTS and TLS protocols are missing. Privacy compliance is weak, with no visible cookie consent or GDPR indicators. Overall, the site demonstrates moderate digital maturity but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and enhance trust.

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

7 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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  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

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

PAE holds a strong market position as the foremost private energy company in Argentina, with diversified operations across upstream, downstream, and renewables. Its business model integrates production, refining, and sustainable energy initiatives, appealing to a broad stakeholder base including investors and regional partners. The company maintains active social media channels and investor portals, indicating engagement and transparency. The use of SharePoint suggests an enterprise-grade content management approach, though the lack of HTTPS undermines digital trust. The partnership with Intralinks for investor relations highlights a secure document sharing strategy. Growth indicators include regional expansion and sustainability focus. The website content and structure support corporate communications but lack advanced privacy and security disclosures.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the complete absence of HTTPS/SSL, which is a fundamental requirement for secure communications. While some security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are present, critical protections such as HSTS and modern TLS protocols are missing. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, limiting transparency and preparedness. The site does not implement cookie consent mechanisms, raising compliance concerns with GDPR and other privacy regulations. The use of SharePoint and ASP.NET frameworks is standard for enterprise sites but requires proper security configurations. Immediate remediation is needed to enable HTTPS, enforce strict transport security, and publish security policies to improve overall security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce HTTPS site-wide immediately.
  2. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR.
  4. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Provide incident response contact information publicly to improve transparency and trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Microsoft IIS 10.0 and built using ASP.NET 4.0 and SharePoint 2016, indicating a mature enterprise infrastructure. Frontend technologies include jQuery, Bootstrap, Swiper.js, and various analytics and marketing scripts such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Twitter Pixel. The site is multilingual with Spanish as primary language and options for English and Portuguese. Performance data is unavailable but likely moderate due to SharePoint overhead. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. SEO is basic with meta descriptions but lacks advanced structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags. Accessibility features are minimal. The absence of HTTPS is a major technical risk. DNS records show consistent domain configuration without DNSSEC or CAA records. Overall, the technical stack is solid but requires modernization in security and privacy compliance.
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.
