Risk levelLow

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

FISCHER Spindle Group AG is a Swiss-based international technology leader specializing in the development and manufacturing of high-precision rotary products including milling spindles, grinding spindles, milling heads, and high-speed turbo compressors. The company emphasizes in-house production and quality control, serving a global industrial and manufacturing audience. Their website reflects a mature digital presence built on TYPO3 CMS, integrating modern technologies such as Google Analytics, reCAPTCHA, and Cookiebot for privacy compliance. The site is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides comprehensive content including product information, news, events, and contact forms with CAPTCHA protection. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and privacy mechanisms in place, though explicit security headers and incident response policies are not published. WHOIS data is missing, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency, but the overall business credibility is supported by consistent branding, ISO certification, and active social media channels. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and improving domain registration transparency.

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

3 findings 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

      • 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

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 19 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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

The company operates in the manufacturing and technology sectors with a B2B business model targeting industrial manufacturers and engineering firms worldwide. It maintains multiple subsidiaries across Europe, Asia, and the Americas, indicating a medium-sized enterprise with international reach. The website content and structure suggest a focus on precision engineering products and lifecycle services including repairs and technology development. The presence of ISO certification and a detailed privacy policy indicates adherence to quality and compliance standards. The company leverages digital marketing and analytics tools to understand visitor behavior and optimize user experience. The lack of publicly available WHOIS data is unusual and warrants further verification but does not currently detract significantly from the company's market position or trustworthiness.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled, use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms to prevent automated abuse, and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others is a gap that could be addressed to enhance protection against common web attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and readiness perception. Overall, the site is secure for typical business use but could improve in formalizing security governance and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page including contact information for security issues.
  3. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve domain trustworthiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update them accordingly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and scalable content management system suitable for enterprise use. It integrates modern JavaScript libraries such as GSAP for animations and Flickity for carousels, enhancing user experience. Google Analytics and Cookiebot are used for analytics and privacy compliance respectively. The site is mobile responsive and optimized for accessibility and SEO with proper meta tags and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and lazy loading of images. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical stack is modern and well-implemented, though there is room for improvement in security header implementation and domain registration transparency.
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.
