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

igus Portugal operates as a localized branch of the international manufacturer igus, specializing in high-performance polymers for motion applications. The website serves industrial and manufacturing sectors by providing product information and online sales of energy chains, cables, and accessories. The company maintains a consistent brand presence with professional design and localized content tailored for the Portuguese market. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as React and Next.js, integrating analytics and customer engagement tools like Piwik PRO and Salesforce Live Agent Chat, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though the absence of explicit security headers and published security policies suggests room for improvement. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and lack of consent mechanisms, which could expose the company to regulatory risks. Overall, the domain registration data aligns well with the business claims, supporting the legitimacy of the site. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, implementing cookie consent, and enhancing security headers to strengthen trust and compliance.

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.

Priority findings

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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 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';…

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 market position as a manufacturer of polymer products for motion, targeting industrial clients requiring durable and innovative solutions. Their business model combines manufacturing with direct online sales and technical support, leveraging digital tools for customer engagement and product selection. The presence of multiple localized domains indicates a global footprint with regional customization. The company benefits from trust signals such as professional design, technical calculators, and a broad product catalog. However, the lack of visible contact details and compliance documentation on the site may limit customer confidence and regulatory adherence. The integration of third-party analytics and chat services suggests an active marketing and customer service strategy. Growth opportunities lie in enhancing transparency and compliance to meet evolving data protection standards.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no apparent exposure of sensitive data. The use of modern frameworks reduces common vulnerabilities, and third-party scripts are from reputable sources. However, the absence of key security headers (e.g., Content Security Policy, HSTS) and missing published security policies or incident response contacts indicate gaps in security governance. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting avenues for responsible vulnerability reporting. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also reflects compliance gaps, particularly under GDPR. These issues could impact business continuity and reputation if exploited or audited. Strengthening these areas would improve the overall security posture and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Develop and publish an incident response policy including dedicated security contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program and provide a security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing clear contact information including emails, phone numbers, and physical addresses on the website.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, enabling server-side rendering and improved performance. Integration with Piwik PRO analytics and Survicate surveys indicates a focus on data-driven marketing and user feedback. Salesforce Live Agent Chat integration supports real-time customer engagement. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessible navigation. However, the lack of explicit accessibility features and some missing SEO meta tags could be improved. Performance is moderate, with multiple CSS and JS files loaded asynchronously. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but likely use a professional hosting provider given the domain and infrastructure. Technical debt appears low, but ongoing audits for third-party script security and performance optimization 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.
