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

      • CWE-327
      • 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

Suessen's market position as a leader in spinning technology is reinforced by its integration within the Rieter Group and partnerships with several related companies. Their business model centers on manufacturing and servicing spinning systems with a strong emphasis on R&D and customer support. The company targets industrial clients in the textile sector, leveraging global presence and technical expertise to maintain competitive advantages. The website's content and structure support business growth by highlighting open positions, services, and sustainability efforts, indicating a mature and strategically aligned operation.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and includes cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements, reflecting a good baseline security posture. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The lack of WHOIS data reduces domain trust slightly but does not indicate immediate risk. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced documentation and communication of security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a formal security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Provide clear contact information for security incidents, such as a dedicated security@ or abuse@ email address.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add data protection officer contact details to comply fully with GDPR transparency requirements.
  5. Enhance HTTP security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen defense-in-depth.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries such as Slick Slider and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices, including structured data markup for enhanced search engine understanding. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The absence of hosting provider details limits full infrastructure assessment. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and user-friendly experience but could benefit from performance tuning and additional security headers.
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.
