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

8 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

  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 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';…

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 maintains a strong market position in the manufacturing and distribution of motion plastics, targeting B2B industrial sectors such as automotive, packaging, robotics, and 3D printing. The business model focuses on providing durable, low-maintenance polymer components and digital tools to optimize product selection and integration. The company benefits from a broad international footprint with subsidiaries and localized websites across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Their digital ecosystem includes configurators, CAD libraries, and online support, enhancing customer engagement and operational efficiency. The presence of detailed contact information and multiple communication channels supports customer service and trust. igus's strategic emphasis on innovation and digitalization positions it well for continued growth in industrial automation and smart manufacturing.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data. Use of reputable analytics platforms like Piwik PRO and Google Analytics is balanced with privacy considerations. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options are not evident in the HTML, representing an area for enhancement. No signs of malware, phishing, or vulnerabilities were detected in the content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Overall, the site is secure for typical business operations but could benefit from adopting additional security best practices and formalizing incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide clear incident response contact channels to enhance transparency and trust.
  3. Regularly update all JavaScript libraries and dependencies to the latest secure versions to reduce vulnerability risks.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve usability for all users.
  5. Continue monitoring privacy compliance and update cookie consent mechanisms as regulations evolve.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom or proprietary CMS with a technology stack including jQuery 1.10.2, FontAwesome 5.0.13, and SVG icons. Analytics are managed via Piwik PRO and Google Tag Manager, indicating a focus on data-driven insights. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and lazy loading images to improve performance. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. However, some JavaScript libraries are outdated, and no common CMS like WordPress or Drupal is detected, which may imply higher maintenance overhead. Hosting provider details are not explicit. Performance is moderate, with opportunities to optimize load times further. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence aligned with business needs.
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.
