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

ExOne is a globally recognized leader in binder jet 3D printing technology, specializing in industrial 3D printing systems and services for metal, sand, and ceramics. The company serves industrial manufacturers and foundries, offering advanced additive manufacturing solutions that enable complex designs, rapid prototyping, and efficient production workflows. ExOne operates under the parent company Desktop Metal, Inc., and maintains a strong market position with a comprehensive portfolio of 3D printing systems, materials, and on-demand tooling services. Technically, the website is built on the Kentico CMS platform and leverages modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, HubSpot analytics, and jQuery. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices, accessible, and SEO-friendly, providing a professional user experience. Privacy and cookie policies are implemented with GDPR compliance in mind, and the site integrates multiple marketing and tracking tools responsibly. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs secure consent mechanisms, though explicit security headers and incident response contacts are not publicly disclosed. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable or protected, which slightly reduces transparency but does not detract significantly from the site's legitimacy given the strong business indicators and parent company association. Overall, ExOne's digital presence reflects a mature, professional industrial technology company with a solid security posture and compliance awareness. Strategic recommendations include enhancing public security policies, adding incident response contacts, and implementing additional security headers to further strengthen trust and resilience.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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

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

ExOne occupies a leading position in the additive manufacturing sector, focusing on binder jet 3D printing for industrial applications. Its competitive advantages include a broad product portfolio, integration with parent company Desktop Metal, and partnerships with multiple subsidiaries specializing in complementary technologies. The business model is B2B, targeting foundries, manufacturers, and engineering firms seeking innovative production methods. Revenue streams likely derive from hardware sales, materials, engineering services, and on-demand printing solutions. The company demonstrates growth through continuous product innovation and strategic acquisitions. Its partnership ecosystem includes several specialized subsidiaries and technology providers, enhancing its market reach and technological capabilities.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS, privacy and cookie policies, and use of reputable analytics and marketing platforms. However, the absence of explicit security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS) and lack of publicly available incident response or vulnerability disclosure information indicate areas for improvement. No exposed credentials or sensitive data were found, and no signs of malware or phishing were detected. Compliance with GDPR is evident through privacy mechanisms. The security culture appears professional but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security documentation accessible to users and partners.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website, including dedicated contact channels for security issues.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to prevent vulnerabilities from external dependencies.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing WHOIS information or justifying privacy protection to build greater trust.
  5. Continue to monitor and improve GDPR compliance and user privacy controls, ensuring clear communication of data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern CMS (Kentico) and uses a robust tech stack including Google Tag Manager, HubSpot, jQuery, and Swiper.js for UI components. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with appropriate meta tags and structured navigation. The site uses multiple external scripts for analytics and marketing, which should be regularly reviewed for security and performance impact. There is no evidence of technical debt or outdated technologies, indicating a well-maintained infrastructure. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and enhance hosting transparency.
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.
