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

OMV Petrom is a large, mature energy company primarily operating in Romania, with a focus on oil and gas exploration, production, refining, and retail services. The website serves as a corporate portal providing news, financial results, and information about strategic initiatives such as sustainability and electric mobility. The company is part of the OMV Group, a well-established parent organization. Technically, the website uses modern web technologies including jQuery and a CDN service (ZENEDGE), with Azure DNS hosting. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate, resulting in no HTTPS support, which is a critical security deficiency. Security headers are present but cannot compensate for the missing SSL/TLS encryption. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no explicit privacy or terms of service pages found, though a cookie consent mechanism is implemented. Contact information is limited to a contact page and search form, with no direct emails or phone numbers publicly listed. Overall, the website is professionally designed and provides relevant business content but requires urgent improvements in security and privacy compliance to meet modern standards.

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

5 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

    • 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

  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

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

OMV Petrom holds a leading position in the Romanian energy market, leveraging its parent company OMV Group's resources and brand. The company operates an integrated business model covering upstream and downstream energy sectors, including innovative services like electric vehicle charging hubs. The website reflects a corporate communication strategy targeting investors, customers, and the general public. The presence of multiple related domains under the OMV Group umbrella indicates a broad partnership and subsidiary ecosystem. The company demonstrates moderate digital maturity but lacks advanced analytics or marketing tools on the website. Growth indicators include recent news on infrastructure investments and financial disclosures.

Security posture

The website's security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support, exposing users to potential interception risks. While several security headers are implemented, they cannot mitigate the fundamental risk of unencrypted traffic. No incident response or security policy information is published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The domain registration is secure and mature, but the website's technical security controls require urgent enhancement to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site immediately.
  2. Publish clear privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement and publicize a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  4. Enhance Content Security Policy to cover additional resource types and reduce attack surface.
  5. Consider integrating modern analytics and marketing tools with privacy-respecting configurations.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of custom JavaScript, jQuery, and CSS with resources served via a CDN (ZENEDGE). DNS is managed through Azure DNS services, indicating a reliable hosting infrastructure. Performance metrics are not available, but the site includes responsive design elements and preloads fonts for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. The lack of HTTPS and modern TLS protocols is a significant technical risk. No CMS or major frameworks are explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The site could benefit from performance monitoring and modernization to improve speed and security.
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.
