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

Makino Inc. is a global leader in manufacturing technology, specializing in CNC machine tools including horizontal and vertical machining centers, EDM, and graphite machining centers. The company targets industrial sectors such as aerospace, automotive, medical, semiconductor, and job shops, offering comprehensive solutions including automation, software, engineering services, and support. Their market position is strong, supported by extensive product information and a global presence with regional subsidiaries. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack with ASP.NET backend and various JavaScript libraries for enhanced user experience. It is hosted behind Cloudflare, ensuring performance and availability. The site is mobile-optimized and includes accessibility features, although performance metrics are not provided. From a security perspective, the site has several important security headers configured, but critically lacks a valid SSL certificate, resulting in no HTTPS protection. This significantly lowers the security posture and exposes users to potential risks. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies, including consent mechanisms, aligning with GDPR requirements. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy in content and business representation, but the lack of HTTPS is a critical issue that should be addressed immediately to protect user data and enhance trust.

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

5 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 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

Makino operates in the manufacturing sector with a focus on CNC machine tools and related services. Their business model includes product sales, engineering support, automation solutions, and training services. The company serves a diverse industrial customer base globally, with dedicated regional websites and subsidiaries in Japan, Asia, Europe, and Korea. Their competitive advantage lies in their industry-leading technology, comprehensive service offerings, and strong brand presence. The website reflects a mature digital presence with detailed product catalogs, support resources, and financing options, indicating a well-established enterprise with a broad partnership ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity with several security headers implemented, such as X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols are significant vulnerabilities, exposing the site to data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. No explicit security policy or incident response information is found, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The use of secure cookies with HttpOnly and SameSite attributes is a positive practice. Overall, the security posture is weakened by the lack of HTTPS, which is a critical compliance and security requirement.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and properly configure a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable and enforce HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload options to strengthen transport security.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly update and audit all third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Implement anti-CSRF tokens and input validation on all forms to enhance form security.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on ASP.NET with a rich front-end utilizing jQuery, Slick Carousel, MicroModal, LazyLoad, ScrollReveal, and Rellax for animations and UI enhancements. It is hosted behind Cloudflare, providing CDN and DDoS protection. The site is mobile responsive and includes accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA labels. However, the SSL configuration is invalid with no supported TLS versions, which is a critical technical debt. Performance data is missing, but the use of lazy loading and modern JavaScript libraries suggests a focus on optimization. The site lacks a common CMS, indicating a custom or proprietary platform.
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.
