igus is a leading manufacturer specializing in technical plastics for motion applications, including energy chains, plain bearings, and linear technology. The company operates a professional and comprehensive website targeting industrial manufacturers and engineers, offering direct sales and extensive product information. The website demonstrates strong branding consistency and a clear market position as an expert in its field. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, with integrated analytics and customer engagement tools like Piwik PRO and Salesforce Live Agent Chat. Security posture is robust with HTTPS enforcement and appropriate security headers, although explicit security policy and vulnerability disclosure pages are absent.

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. 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 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

  3. 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

igus holds a strong position in the manufacturing and technology sectors, focusing on innovative plastic solutions for motion. Its business model centers on direct manufacturing and online sales, supported by a global network of country-specific domains. The company targets technical professionals and industrial clients, emphasizing cost reduction and technical improvement. Certifications such as ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 reinforce its quality and environmental commitments. The website's extensive product catalog and multilingual support indicate a broad market reach and customer base. The use of advanced web technologies and analytics tools suggests a data-driven approach to customer engagement and marketing. Strategic partnerships and a wide international footprint further enhance its competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of Content Security Policy and secure cookies aligns with best practices. However, the lack of a dedicated security policy page and vulnerability disclosure mechanism limits transparency and incident response readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR adherence. The integration of trusted analytics and marketing tools is balanced with privacy considerations. Overall, the security maturity is high but could be improved by publishing explicit security and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Increase visibility of security contact channels for faster incident reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools for privacy compliance.
  5. Consider WHOIS data update or transparency to improve domain trustworthiness.

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.
