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

Paragon Offshore Limited is an offshore drilling company that underwent significant corporate restructuring, culminating in its acquisition by Borr Drilling Limited in 2018. The website primarily serves as a corporate notice platform informing visitors about the ownership change and the status of shares. The company operates in the energy sector, specifically offshore drilling, and functions as a subsidiary under Borr Drilling Limited. The website content is minimal and focused on corporate information rather than marketing or customer engagement. Technically, the website is built with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without modern frameworks or CMS detected. The site lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features, and no advanced SEO or analytics tools are evident. The performance is moderate but limited by the simplicity of the site. There is no evidence of HTTPS usage or security headers, which indicates a weak security posture. From a security perspective, the site lacks critical elements such as HTTPS, privacy and cookie policies, contact information, and incident response details. No forms or user input mechanisms are present, reducing attack surface but also limiting user engagement. The absence of security best practices and compliance indicators suggests the site is informational only and not designed for interactive or transactional use. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile due to its static nature but suffers from poor security and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security, privacy policies, and technical modernization are recommended to enhance 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

8 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

  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
    • 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';…

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

Paragon Offshore Limited operates in the offshore drilling segment of the energy industry and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Borr Drilling Limited. The company has undergone bankruptcy reorganization and corporate restructuring, positioning it as a mid-sized entity within the offshore drilling market. The business model focuses on providing offshore drilling services through its operational rigs. The website targets investors, shareholders, and industry stakeholders by providing corporate restructuring updates and ownership information. The lack of active share trading and minimal web presence suggests a focus on corporate communication rather than commercial marketing. The partnership with Borr Drilling Limited is a key strategic relationship, consolidating market position and operational capabilities. Growth indicators and revenue streams are not disclosed on the site, limiting deeper business intelligence insights.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is weak. The absence of HTTPS and security headers exposes the site to potential interception and manipulation risks. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating non-compliance with GDPR and other data protection regulations. The lack of contact information and incident response channels reduces the ability to report or respond to security incidents effectively. No forms or user inputs reduce attack vectors but also limit user engagement and trust. Overall, the site appears informational with minimal security controls, which is a risk if the site were to expand functionality. Immediate implementation of HTTPS, security headers, and privacy policies is recommended to improve security maturity and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all communications.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  3. Publish clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for corporate and security inquiries.
  4. Introduce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Improve mobile responsiveness and accessibility to enhance user experience and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without any detected modern frameworks or CMS platforms. The site lacks mobile optimization and accessibility features, which limits usability on various devices and for users with disabilities. No SEO optimization or meta tags beyond basic description and author are present. The site does not use HTTPS, which is a critical technical deficiency. Performance is moderate given the simple content but could be improved with modern best practices. The absence of analytics or marketing tools suggests limited digital maturity. Technical debt is evident in the outdated design and lack of security controls, presenting modernization opportunities to improve performance, security, and 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.
