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

Deepwater Corrosion Services Inc. is a specialized engineering and manufacturing company focused on corrosion control solutions, including cathodic protection, anode systems, inspection, and anti-corrosion products. The company serves industrial clients primarily in the energy sector, with a strong presence in offshore oil and gas, wind energy, docks, and terminals. Their market position is that of an established leader with award-winning engineering and global operations. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies, including Bootstrap, Flickity, and multiple analytics and marketing tools, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and bot protection via Cloudflare Turnstile, though some security headers and explicit policies are missing.

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. 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';…

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Deepwater operates a B2B business model providing engineering services, product manufacturing, and technical consulting in corrosion control. Their competitive advantage lies in their technical expertise, proprietary products like I-Rod® and Polatrak®, and a global footprint with offices in the USA, UK, Brazil, and Australia. Revenue streams likely include product sales, engineering services, inspection contracts, and consulting. The target customers are industrial operators in energy infrastructure, particularly offshore and onshore pipeline and platform operators. The company demonstrates growth through acquisitions (e.g., Electrobraze) and industry awards. Their partnership ecosystem includes specialized product subdomains and technical resource portals. Strategic observations indicate a focus on innovation, customer service, and technical education through downloadable resources and case studies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, bot mitigation via Cloudflare Turnstile captcha, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response information, and security.txt files indicates gaps in transparency and readiness. No security headers were detected in the provided data, which could be improved to enhance protection against common web attacks. The use of multiple tracking and marketing scripts necessitates careful privacy management, which is partially addressed by a comprehensive privacy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Add and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Review and audit third-party tracking scripts to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize user tracking.
  5. Investigate and resolve the WHOIS data absence to improve domain registration transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern and robust technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, Flickity for carousels, and multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, LinkedIn Insight, Bing UET, and Encharge. The presence of Cloudflare Turnstile captcha indicates bot protection measures. The site is mobile optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Hosting appears to be behind Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts and missing security headers, which could be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve 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.
