You would have to research it on the Givi site but don't they make a compatible engine protection plate?

They do make a plate but I’m not a fan of the look of it

I do have a genuine Suzuki one in the loft but I do not know if it would match up with the Givi bars .

Std Suzuki looks nice but I think its designed to attach to the standard crash bars but might be wrong it maybe poss to make it fit

Could you not fabricate a mounting adaptor that will allow you to mount the sumpguard of your choice to the Givi crashbars?
A few examples of bash plate to Givi engine guard mounting solutions, that was done for a 1st gen DL650:
