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 technologies, spectroscopy, and additive manufacturing. Their product portfolio includes advanced metrology probes, encoders, Raman spectroscopy systems, dental scanners, and neurosurgical robots, serving diverse industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and scientific research. The company maintains a strong market position with a comprehensive digital presence and global offices in 36 countries. Technically, the website is built on a proprietary CMS platform (Renishaw IDT's Snowball) and utilizes modern JavaScript libraries, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and OneTrust for privacy and cookie consent management. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, although some security headers are missing which could be improved. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and integrates a robust cookie consent mechanism, reflecting good privacy compliance including GDPR adherence. However, explicit incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure policies are not evident, representing an area for enhancement. The absence of WHOIS data is noted but likely due to privacy protection or registry policies, not detracting significantly from the site's legitimacy. Overall, Renishaw's website reflects a mature, professional digital asset with strong business credibility and privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing incident response information, and maintaining vigilance on third-party scripts to sustain 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

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

      • 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

Renishaw operates as a B2B technology provider with a focus on precision engineering and healthcare technologies. Their competitive advantage lies in their diversified product range and global footprint. Revenue streams likely include product sales, software licensing, support services, and training. Target customers span aerospace, automotive, healthcare, scientific research, and industrial automation sectors. The company demonstrates growth through innovation in additive manufacturing and smart manufacturing data platforms. Partnerships and a strong online presence support their market reach and brand trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and cookie consent compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggests room for improvement. The absence of explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure information may impact rapid response capabilities. Data protection practices align with GDPR, supported by OneTrust integration. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced header policies and transparency in incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies with dedicated contact channels.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency and user trust by providing direct contact emails and phone numbers for support and security inquiries.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack with libraries such as jQuery and HeadJS, and integrates Google Tag Manager and OneTrust for analytics and privacy management. The CMS platform is proprietary (Renishaw IDT's Snowball), indicating a customized infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Technical risks include missing security headers and reliance on multiple third-party scripts, which require ongoing monitoring to prevent vulnerabilities.
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.
