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

The website www.igus.ch represents a Swiss-based manufacturer specializing in high-performance polymer components for motion applications, including energy chains, cables, bearings, and robotic joints. The site serves primarily industrial and manufacturing clients, offering direct sales from the manufacturer. The landing page is a language selection portal with minimal content, indicating a multi-lingual, international customer base. The business appears established and consistent with its sector, though detailed company history and contact information are not present on this page. Technically, the website employs Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, with basic JavaScript and CSS styling. The site lacks visible security headers and privacy or cookie policies, indicating room for improvement in compliance and security posture. Performance and mobile optimization appear basic but functional. No CMS or hosting details are discernible from the provided data. From a security perspective, the site is accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms, but lacks key security best practices such as HTTPS verification, security headers, and documented privacy compliance. No forms or input fields are present to assess input security. The absence of contact or incident response information limits transparency and user trust. Overall, the website is functional as a language gateway but requires enhancements in privacy, security, and contact transparency to improve trust and compliance. Strategic improvements in these areas would strengthen the site's security posture and user confidence.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  2. 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

igus® operates as a direct manufacturer and supplier of specialized polymer components for industrial motion applications. Its market positioning is that of an established player in manufacturing, targeting industrial clients requiring durable and efficient motion solutions. The business model focuses on direct sales and technical product offerings. The website's multi-language support indicates a broad European or global market reach. The lack of detailed business data on the landing page suggests that more comprehensive information is likely available on subsequent pages. The company likely generates revenue through product sales and possibly technical consulting. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are disclosed on this page.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is basic and lacks several critical elements. The absence of visible HTTPS confirmation and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No privacy or cookie policies are published, which is a compliance gap under GDPR and related regulations. The use of Google Tag Manager indicates some level of user tracking but without visible consent mechanisms. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting the ability to report or respond to security incidents. Overall, the site requires significant improvements in security best practices and compliance documentation to meet modern standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and verify its configuration.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms.
  3. Publish terms of service and security policy documents accessible from the website.
  4. Introduce visible contact information including security incident response contacts.
  5. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with Google Tag Manager for analytics. The landing page is minimalistic, serving as a language selection gateway. No advanced frameworks or CMS are detected. Performance is moderate with no evident optimization for mobile or accessibility beyond basic standards. The absence of meta tags beyond description and title limits SEO effectiveness. No forms or interactive elements are present on this page. Hosting and infrastructure details are not discernible from the provided data. The technical stack is simple but could benefit from modernization and enhanced SEO and accessibility features.
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.
