Risk levelHigh

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

Guascor North America is a division of Grupo Guascor specializing in industrial and marine energy solutions, including diesel and gas engines, cogeneration plants, and renewable energy technologies. The company positions itself as a leader in alternative fuels and renewable energy sectors with a history dating back to 1966. Their target audience primarily includes industrial and marine sector clients seeking specialized energy solutions. Technically, the website relies on outdated technologies such as Flash and an old jQuery version, lacks HTTPS, and does not implement modern security headers or privacy policies, indicating a low digital maturity level. Security posture is weak due to the absence of HTTPS and use of deprecated technologies, exposing the site to potential vulnerabilities. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, the website provides relevant business content but requires significant improvements in security, privacy compliance, and technical modernization to enhance trust and user safety.

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

10 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

Guascor North America operates in the energy and transportation sectors, focusing on manufacturing diesel and gas engines for marine and industrial applications. Their business model is B2B, providing specialized energy solutions including cogeneration and renewable energy systems. The company benefits from a long-standing market presence since 1966 and is part of the larger Grupo Guascor. Their competitive advantage lies in their niche expertise and diversified energy solutions portfolio. The website references a partner domain related to waste energy recovery, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. However, the lack of visible certifications, privacy policies, and modern digital practices may impact customer confidence and limit growth potential in highly regulated markets.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak, primarily due to the absence of HTTPS, which is critical for protecting data in transit. The use of deprecated Flash content and an outdated jQuery library introduces known vulnerabilities. No security headers or incident response contacts are present, and privacy compliance is minimal with no visible policies or consent mechanisms. The lack of WHOIS data further complicates trust verification. These factors collectively increase the risk of data interception, exploitation, and reputational damage. The site does not appear to collect sensitive user data via forms, which somewhat mitigates risk but does not excuse the lack of basic security hygiene.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all communications.
  2. Remove or replace Flash content with modern HTML5 or JavaScript alternatives.
  3. Upgrade all JavaScript libraries, especially jQuery, to current secure versions.
  4. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance and implement consent mechanisms.
  5. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  6. Obtain and publish WHOIS domain registration details to improve trust and legitimacy.
  7. Introduce incident response contact information and security policies to enhance transparency.
  8. Improve mobile optimization and accessibility to enhance user experience.
  9. Consider adding analytics with privacy-respecting configurations to monitor site performance and usage.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses legacy technologies including Flash and jQuery 1.4, which are outdated and pose security risks. The site lacks HTTPS, indicating no SSL/TLS encryption, which is a critical technical deficiency. CSS and JavaScript are used for styling and navigation, but no modern frameworks or CMS platforms are detected. Performance is moderate but could be improved by removing Flash and optimizing scripts. Mobile optimization is poor, suggesting the site is not responsive or adaptive to different screen sizes. Accessibility features are minimal, and SEO optimization is basic with meta keywords and description but no structured data or Open Graph tags. Hosting provider and infrastructure details are not discernible from the content provided.
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.
