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

GlobePack Equipment Ltd is a UK-based specialist supplier of new and used process and packaging machinery, primarily serving pharmaceutical, cosmetic, veterinary, nutraceutical, healthcare, toiletries, food, and contract packing industries. The company offers a comprehensive range of services including equipment sales, refurbishment, engineering support, installation, commissioning, and global logistics. Their market position is strong within the UK and internationally, focusing on maximizing asset value for manufacturers worldwide. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Rollbar for error monitoring, and responsive design elements ensuring good mobile optimization. The site is hosted on a platform associated with machineryhost.com, indicating a specialized hosting environment. SEO and accessibility are adequately addressed, though accessibility could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and implements cookie consent mechanisms. However, it lacks visible security headers and does not provide a privacy policy or incident response information, which are important for compliance and trust. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, though the professional website and business presence mitigate some risk. Overall, GlobePack Equipment Ltd presents a professional and trustworthy business front with room for improvement in privacy compliance and security transparency. Strategic recommendations include publishing a comprehensive privacy policy, enhancing security headers, and clarifying domain registration details to strengthen trust and compliance.

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. 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

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 7 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, LinkedIn, YouTube, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

GlobePack Equipment Ltd operates in the niche market of used pharmaceutical and packaging machinery, leveraging a business model that combines equipment sales with refurbishment and project support services. Their competitive advantage lies in their specialization in Blow Fill Seal (BFS) technology and a broad service offering that includes logistics and validation support. The company targets manufacturers in regulated industries requiring high-quality process equipment. Growth indicators include a well-maintained website with active stock listings and a global logistics capability. Partnerships are implied through platform hosting and social media presence, though no explicit partner domains were identified. The company’s operations appear medium-sized with a focus on quality and customer support, positioning them as a trusted supplier in their sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and error monitoring via Rollbar. The presence of a cookie consent banner indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of a privacy policy, security headers, and incident response information are notable gaps. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a significant concern, potentially impacting trust and legitimacy. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is partial due to missing privacy documentation. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the business type but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page clearly accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  3. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration details to ensure legitimacy and build trust with customers.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern technology stack including Google Tag Manager for analytics, Rollbar for error tracking, and FontAwesome for icons. It uses responsive design principles and includes interactive elements such as carousels and dropdown menus. The site is hosted on a specialized machinery platform, which likely provides tailored features for industrial equipment listings. Performance is moderate with deferred JavaScript loading and preconnect hints to optimize resource fetching. Some technical debt is noted in the form of redundant or unclear Google Tag Manager configurations. Overall, the infrastructure supports the business needs effectively but could benefit from optimization and clearer analytics setup.
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.
