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

7 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 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, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

igus GmbH's Chilean site targets industrial customers in manufacturing, automation, and energy sectors, providing configurable products and digital tools like CAD downloads and 3D printing services. The business model is direct B2B sales supported by online configurators and project planning services. The company maintains a broad international footprint with multiple country-specific domains, indicating a strong global partnership ecosystem. The website content and structure reflect a well-established enterprise with consistent branding and quality certifications. The presence of multiple analytics and advertising platforms suggests active marketing and customer engagement strategies.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes key security headers such as HSTS, X-Content-Type-Options, and CSP, indicating adherence to security best practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information represents a gap in transparency and readiness. The site uses secure forms and likely CSRF protections, but explicit confirmation is not visible. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal security and incident response policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information including abuse and security email addresses.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency by including data retention policies and detailed privacy compliance statements.
  5. Implement automated security scanning and monitoring to proactively detect and address risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including jQuery, FontAwesome, and multiple analytics tools integrated via Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessible navigation. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The hosting provider is not identified from the content. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site uses SVG icons and lazy loading for images, improving load times and user experience. Technical debt appears low, but continuous modernization and performance tuning are recommended.
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.
