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

igus is a specialist manufacturer and direct seller of motion plastics and dynamic engineering plastics, offering products such as energy chains, square conduits, and plain bearings. The website targets industrial and engineering customers in Taiwan, providing localized content in Traditional Chinese and linking to multiple international domains. The company maintains a strong market position as an expert in engineering plastics with a global presence. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks like Next.js and React, integrates Piwik PRO analytics and Salesforce Live Agent Chat, and is hosted under a reputable registrar. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, though some accessibility features are basic. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, but lacks explicit security headers and published privacy or cookie policies, indicating compliance gaps. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but should improve privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

6 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 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google Ads

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 in the manufacturing sector, focusing on engineering plastics for motion applications. Their business model involves direct sales to industrial customers, supported by a comprehensive online presence with multiple country-specific domains. The company leverages digital tools for customer engagement and analytics. Market positioning is strong due to specialization and global reach. Revenue streams likely include product sales of energy chains, linear technology, and motor systems. Target customers are industrial manufacturers and engineers. The partnership ecosystem includes Salesforce and Piwik PRO for CRM and analytics. Strategic observations include the need to enhance privacy compliance and incident response visibility to align with global regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files are present, limiting transparency. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which is a compliance risk under GDPR and similar regulations. Incident response contacts are not provided, which could delay handling of security incidents. Overall, the security posture is good but can be improved by adopting best practices in headers, privacy compliance, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to ensure GDPR and local compliance.
  2. Add security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and incident handling.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React and Next.js framework, enabling server-side rendering and good SEO. Integration with Piwik PRO and Salesforce Live Agent Chat indicates advanced customer engagement and analytics capabilities. The site is mobile optimized and loads with moderate performance. Hosting details are limited but the registrar is reputable. There is no evidence of CMS usage, suggesting a custom or headless CMS approach. Technical debt appears low, but the lack of explicit security headers and privacy compliance features indicates areas for modernization. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable online presence.
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.
