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

iwis is a global industrial company specializing in precision chain, drive, and connection technology solutions for sectors including manufacturing, mobility, and energy. The company positions itself as an innovator with a focus on efficiency, reliability, and sustainability. Their website reflects a professional B2B business model targeting industrial clients worldwide. Technically, the website uses modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and integrates Cookiebot for cookie consent management and Google Analytics for visitor tracking with IP anonymization, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and privacy compliance mechanisms in place, although the absence of security headers and explicit security policies suggests room for improvement. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a notable anomaly that slightly reduces trust but does not outweigh the professional presentation and compliance efforts. Overall, the website is well-structured, user-friendly, and compliant with GDPR requirements, serving as a credible digital presence for iwis.

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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

iwis operates in the manufacturing and industrial drive technology sectors, offering a range of products such as industrial drive systems, maintenance systems, timing drive systems, and electric systems. Their market position is that of an established global player with a focus on innovation and precision. The business model is primarily B2B, serving industrial clients across multiple sectors including energy and transportation. The website content and navigation indicate a comprehensive product and service catalog, supporting customer engagement and lead generation. The company demonstrates good branding consistency and trust signals such as privacy and cookie policies. However, the lack of publicly available WHOIS data and direct contact details in the analyzed content suggests a cautious approach to public exposure of business details online.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, including anonymized IP tracking in Google Analytics. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. The website would benefit from implementing these headers and publishing a security.txt file to improve vulnerability disclosure and incident response readiness. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced to meet higher standards expected for industrial sector websites.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and cookies to ensure ongoing privacy compliance and minimize tracking risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end stack with JavaScript and CSS, and integrates third-party services such as Cookiebot for cookie management and Google Analytics for visitor analytics. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through optimization of assets and caching strategies. No CMS or hosting provider information was detected in the provided content. The site lacks some advanced accessibility features but maintains basic compliance. SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags and alternate language links. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional user experience but could benefit from further enhancements in performance and security.
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.
