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

Rolls-Royce plc operates a globally recognized website delivering comprehensive information about its complex power and propulsion solutions across aerospace, defense, and energy sectors. The website reflects a mature digital presence with extensive content, clear navigation, and strong branding consistency. Technically, the site leverages a modern tech stack including Sitecore CMS, Cloudflare CDN, and multiple analytics and marketing tools, although performance is moderate and accessibility is basic. Security posture is weakened by the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocol support, despite the presence of strong security headers and a robust content security policy. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Business credibility is high, supported by detailed corporate governance, investor relations, and trust indicators. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but requires urgent SSL/TLS remediation to improve security and user trust.

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

    • 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 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. 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

Rolls-Royce holds a strong market position as a leader in transportation and energy sectors, focusing on aerospace engines, defense systems, and power solutions. The business model centers on delivering safety-critical propulsion technologies and services globally. The website targets industry professionals, investors, and partners, offering detailed product and service information, innovation insights, and sustainability commitments. The company maintains a broad partnership ecosystem including digital service providers and security platforms. Growth indicators include active investor communications and innovation initiatives. The website supports global operations with multiple country sites and localized content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with implementation of multiple security headers and a comprehensive content security policy. However, critical vulnerabilities exist due to an invalid or missing SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, exposing users to potential interception risks. No OCSP stapling or session resumption mechanisms are enabled, which could impact performance and security. The presence of a vulnerability disclosure policy indicates a proactive security culture, but incident response contact details are not explicitly provided. Compliance with GDPR is supported by privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture requires immediate improvement in SSL/TLS configuration to align with best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Renew and properly configure SSL/TLS certificates to enable HTTPS with TLS 1.2 and 1.3 support.
  2. Enable OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  3. Maintain and regularly update security headers and content security policies.
  4. Publish explicit incident response and security contact information to enhance transparency.
  5. Continue to monitor and audit third-party analytics and marketing tools for privacy compliance.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a robust infrastructure using Sitecore CMS hosted on AWS and protected by Cloudflare. It uses a variety of modern JavaScript libraries and third-party services for analytics, marketing, and user engagement. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially in SSL/TLS configuration. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design but accessibility features are basic. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks mainly stem from the lack of valid SSL and disabled TLS protocols, which could affect user trust and search rankings.
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.
