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

Graf & Cie AG is a leading global supplier specializing in clothing for carding and combs used in the textile and nonwoven industries. As a subsidiary of the Rieter Group headquartered in Switzerland, Graf offers a comprehensive portfolio of high-performance textile processing components and related services. The company emphasizes vertical integration and quality manufacturing across five global locations, targeting industrial manufacturers and machine builders. The website reflects a professional and well-structured digital presence with multilingual support and strong branding consistency. Technically, the website is built on TYPO3 CMS with modern JavaScript libraries and includes Google Tag Manager for analytics. It features a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements, ensuring user privacy and compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices implemented. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent for tracking controls. However, it lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response information. The absence of WHOIS registration data for the domain is a notable concern, although the website content and corporate associations support legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility and compliance posture, but improvements in security transparency and domain registration clarity are recommended.

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.

  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.

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

Graf & Cie AG holds a strong market position as a specialized manufacturer in the textile processing sector, leveraging its parent company Rieter Group's reputation. Its business model focuses on B2B sales of specialized components and after-sales services, supported by a global sales and service network. The company targets industrial clients requiring high-quality card clothing and combs, with a focus on innovation and fiber processing expertise. Partnerships with related companies like Accotex and Bräcker enhance its ecosystem. The website's multilingual support and career pages indicate a global and growth-oriented operation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanism. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and does not publish a formal security policy or incident response plan. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file is present. The absence of WHOIS data raises questions about domain registration transparency. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate site but could be strengthened by publishing security policies, adding security headers, and clarifying domain ownership.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents, such as a security@ email address.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure transparency and trust.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

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.
