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

6 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. 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

  4. 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"

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

Seadrill operates in the highly specialized energy sector, focusing on deepwater drilling services. Their market positioning as a disciplined driller with a focus on shareholder value suggests a mature business model with significant operational scale. The website's content and linked domains indicate a robust partnership ecosystem, including investor relations and career management platforms. The absence of direct contact information on the careers page suggests a controlled recruitment process, likely centralized through their application system. The company's transparency is supported by reports on corporate governance, equal pay, and sustainability. Their social media presence across major platforms enhances brand visibility and engagement with stakeholders. These factors collectively indicate a well-established enterprise with strategic market positioning and a focus on operational excellence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS and a comprehensive cookie consent framework that respects user privacy and complies with GDPR. The use of Cookiebot ensures granular control over cookie categories, with necessary cookies always enabled and other categories requiring user consent. The site avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML and does not use known vulnerable libraries. However, the lack of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information represents a gap in transparency and readiness. Security headers are partially present or inferred but could be explicitly confirmed and enhanced. Overall, the site follows best practices but would benefit from additional security documentation and explicit incident response channels to improve trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and practices.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern and widely supported CMS platform, WordPress, using the Divi theme which offers flexibility and a professional design. The tech stack includes jQuery, MediaElement.js for media playback, and various plugins for enhanced functionality such as mega menus, icon packs, and popup management. Hosting on WPEngine provides a reliable and secure environment. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices implemented via Yoast SEO. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The site uses advanced cookie consent management with Cookiebot, reflecting a mature approach to privacy compliance. Technical risks are minimal but include potential improvements in security header implementation and accessibility enhancements.
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.
