Risk levelMedium

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

igus is a well-established manufacturer specializing in motion plastics, including energy chains and simple bearings, serving industrial and manufacturing sectors primarily in Romania and internationally. The website demonstrates a professional digital presence with multi-language support and a modern technology stack based on React and Next.js. The site is well-structured, with clear navigation and good content relevance, targeting industrial clients seeking specialized plastic motion components. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data, though improvements are needed in security headers and privacy compliance documentation. Overall, the domain appears legitimate despite privacy-protected WHOIS data, which is common for corporate entities. Strategic recommendations include enhancing privacy and cookie policies, adding security headers, and publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to improve 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.

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 operates as a direct manufacturer and seller of motion plastics products, including energy chains and bearings, positioning itself as an expert in this niche. The business model focuses on direct sales to industrial customers, supported by a comprehensive multi-country web presence. The company leverages digital tools such as Piwik PRO for analytics and maintains a consistent brand image across domains. The lack of visible contact details and privacy policies on the main site suggests areas for improvement in customer engagement and regulatory compliance. The extensive product catalog and multi-language support indicate a mature operation with a broad international footprint.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML content, reflecting a baseline security maturity. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection reduces the overall security posture. No known vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the provided content. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests limited transparency in security governance. Enhancing these areas would strengthen the company's security culture and compliance with data protection regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add essential security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security and data protection officer contacts to facilitate incident reporting and compliance.
  4. Establish and disclose a vulnerability disclosure program and incident response procedures to enhance security transparency.
  5. Improve accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to maintain a robust security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, indicating a contemporary and scalable infrastructure. The presence of multiple CSS and JavaScript chunks suggests modular design and optimization efforts. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices evident through meta tags and structured data. However, the absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or headless architecture. Hosting provider details are not discernible from the content. The site uses Piwik PRO for analytics, reflecting a preference for privacy-focused tracking solutions. Opportunities exist to enhance accessibility and security configurations to reduce technical risks.
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.
