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

Forust is a company specializing in sustainable wood 3D printing technology, aiming to make high-volume wood 3D printing affordable, reliable, and sustainable. The website positions Forust as part of a larger additive manufacturing ecosystem (Team DM), with a focus on rematerializing wood waste into high-quality, complex wood products. The company targets manufacturers, designers, and consumers interested in sustainable wood products, offering both hardware (Shop System™ Forust Edition) and product platforms. Technically, the website is well-built with modern technologies including HubSpot for marketing and analytics, Google Analytics, and responsive design. Security posture is good with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security headers and vulnerability disclosures are absent. WHOIS data is unavailable, which slightly reduces trust but the professional presentation and association with Desktop Metal support legitimacy. Overall, the site is well-positioned in the manufacturing technology sector with a strong sustainability message.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. 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

  4. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Forust operates in the manufacturing and technology sectors, focusing on additive manufacturing for wood products. Its business model includes selling 3D printed wood products, custom design services, and hardware systems for in-house manufacturing. The company leverages partnerships within the Team DM ecosystem, enhancing its market reach and technological capabilities. The website content and linked domains indicate a medium-sized company with a professional brand and clear market positioning as an innovator in sustainable manufacturing. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the main site suggests a controlled communication approach, likely funneling inquiries through forms or parent company channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented. However, it lacks explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, indicating room for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional security headers and publishing incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Create and maintain a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Consider adding direct verified contact emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including HubSpot for marketing automation, Google Analytics for tracking, and standard web technologies (HTML5, CSS, JavaScript). The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with some heavy multimedia content such as videos. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting provider details are not evident from the content. The site shows no signs of technical debt or outdated libraries, indicating good maintenance and modernization.
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.
