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

Rotamac Energy Solutions Limited is a specialist EP/EPC contractor based in the United Kingdom, focusing on delivering complete power plant solutions in the 1-50MW electrical range. Established in 1997, the company has evolved from used equipment services to providing used and surplus power plant solutions, particularly in biomass and waste-to-energy sectors. Their business model leverages used/surplus equipment to offer significant capital expenditure savings compared to new plant EPC projects. The website presents a professional and comprehensive overview of their services, including valuations, dismantling, consultancy, freight, and EPC services, targeting industrial clients and power plant operators. Technically, the website is built on a modern tech stack with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and utilizes the Machinio ecommerce platform. It features responsive design and basic accessibility features, with good SEO optimization. The site includes structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding and provides clear contact information and privacy compliance mechanisms. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has cookie consent mechanisms and a privacy policy indicating GDPR compliance. However, it lacks explicit security headers and does not provide dedicated security or incident response policies. The WHOIS lookup for the domain failed due to domain naming rules, suggesting the domain may be a subdomain or alias, which slightly reduces trustworthiness. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy with good content quality and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security headers, incident response transparency, and domain registration clarity would enhance the security posture and trustworthiness further.

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

2 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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

Business profile

Rotamac Energy Solutions Limited occupies a niche market position as a specialist contractor in the used/surplus power plant sector, focusing on biomass and waste-to-energy plants. Their competitive advantage lies in offering cost-effective EP/EPC solutions using used equipment, appealing to clients seeking CAPEX savings. The company targets industrial and energy sector clients, providing a broad range of services from valuations to equipment installation. The partnership with Rotamac Turbines indicates an extended service ecosystem. The business model is service-oriented with a focus on project delivery and consultancy. The website's content and structured data reflect a mature digital presence, supporting lead generation and client engagement. Growth indicators include diversified service offerings and a clear market niche. The company appears to be a small-sized enterprise with a UK base and no visible parent or subsidiary companies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies. The presence of a cookie consent banner and privacy policy indicates awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers (such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) and lack of published security or incident response policies represent gaps in security best practices. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure information is available, limiting transparency for security researchers. The WHOIS data irregularity introduces some uncertainty about domain legitimacy. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business website but could be improved with enhanced headers, incident response documentation, and domain registration clarity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page outlining procedures and contact channels.
  3. Create and host a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is consistent with business identity.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Font Awesome icons. It uses the Machinio ecommerce platform for listings and inventory management. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity and SEO optimization. Performance is moderate with some lazy loading of images and video content. The use of Rollbar for error tracking indicates proactive monitoring of client-side issues. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or platform-specific solution. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and accessibility could reduce risks and enhance user experience.
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.
