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

Renishaw plc is a globally recognized engineering and scientific technology company specializing in precision measurement, motion control, healthcare, spectroscopy, and additive manufacturing. The company offers a broad portfolio of products and services including CMM probes, machine tool probes, laser encoders, Raman spectroscopy systems, dental scanners, and neurosurgical robots. Their market position is strong, serving manufacturing industries, healthcare providers, and scientific research organizations worldwide. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, clear navigation, and consistent branding. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and OneTrust for cookie consent management, indicating a commitment to privacy compliance and user experience. The site is built on Renishaw's proprietary Snowball CMS platform and demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit HTTP security headers and a published security.txt file. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The absence of WHOIS data reduces transparency but does not significantly detract from the site's legitimacy given the strong corporate presence and trust indicators. Overall, Renishaw's website is professional, secure, and compliant with privacy regulations, supporting its enterprise-level business operations. Strategic improvements in security header implementation and incident response transparency would further enhance its security posture.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

Renishaw operates in high-precision manufacturing and healthcare technology sectors, targeting industrial manufacturers, healthcare providers, and scientific researchers. Their business model is primarily B2B, focusing on product sales, software licensing, support services, and training. The company leverages a global network of offices and a strong digital presence to maintain market leadership. Their competitive advantages include a diverse product portfolio, innovation in additive manufacturing and spectroscopy, and a commitment to corporate responsibility. The website's content and structure support lead generation and customer engagement, reflecting a mature marketing strategy. Partnerships and social media engagement further strengthen their ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and a robust cookie consent framework compliant with GDPR. However, the lack of visible HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be exploited. No direct incident response or vulnerability disclosure contacts are provided, which limits transparency in security incident handling. The absence of a security.txt file is a missed opportunity for coordinated vulnerability disclosure. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by adopting additional best practices and enhancing communication channels for security issues.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security transparency.
  3. Provide explicit incident response contact information on the website to enhance trust and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance website performance optimization to improve user experience and reduce load times.

The CMS platform is a proprietary system named Snowball, tailored for Renishaw's content needs. The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with well-structured metadata and SEO-friendly tags.

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.
