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

Sakhalin Energy operates as a major energy company focused on oil and gas production projects in Russia, notably the Sakhalin-2 project. The website serves as an informational portal presenting company details, safety and environmental policies, social programs, media releases, tenders, and career opportunities. The business model centers on resource development under a production sharing agreement, targeting industry stakeholders, contractors, and the public. Technically, the website is built on the Bitrix CMS platform and employs legacy technologies such as jQuery 1.8.2, along with modern tools like Google reCAPTCHA and FontAwesome. The site shows moderate performance and basic mobile optimization but lacks advanced accessibility and SEO features. The content is currently limited due to the site being under reconstruction. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and includes reCAPTCHA for form protection but lacks visible security headers and uses outdated JavaScript libraries, which may expose it to vulnerabilities. Privacy compliance is minimal, with a basic privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism or GDPR indicators. Contact information and security policies are not clearly provided. Overall, the website presents a moderate risk profile with room for improvement in security practices, privacy compliance, and technical modernization. Strategic enhancements in these areas would strengthen trust and operational resilience.

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 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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

Sakhalin Energy holds a significant position in the Russian energy sector, operating large-scale oil and gas projects. Its competitive advantage lies in its established production sharing agreement and commitment to environmental and social responsibility. The business model relies on resource extraction and stakeholder engagement through tenders and social programs. The website targets industry professionals, contractors, and potential employees, reflecting a broad stakeholder ecosystem. Growth indicators include recent news publications and awards. However, the digital presence is currently limited due to site reconstruction, which may impact outreach and engagement temporarily.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate. The use of HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA indicates baseline security awareness. However, the presence of outdated JavaScript libraries and absence of key security headers suggest vulnerabilities that could be exploited. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness. Compliance gaps exist regarding GDPR and cookie consent mechanisms. The site would benefit from updating its technology stack, implementing comprehensive security headers, and publishing clear security and privacy policies to enhance its security culture and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Update all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to supported versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a visible cookie consent banner and enhance privacy policy to reflect GDPR compliance.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  5. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience and SEO performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Bitrix CMS platform and uses a mix of legacy and modern front-end technologies including jQuery 1.8.2, SWFObject, Slick Carousel, Selectric, Google reCAPTCHA, and FontAwesome. While functional, the use of outdated libraries poses security risks and technical debt. Performance is moderate with basic mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. SEO optimization is minimal with limited meta tags and structured data. The site is currently under reconstruction, which may affect content availability and user engagement. Modernization opportunities include updating the tech stack, improving performance, and enhancing SEO and accessibility 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.
