Medium risk. 6 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view and SSL/TLS.

Security score

67/100

Risk levelMedium

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

Block One Automation is a medium-sized US-based company specializing in modular robotic warehouse automation solutions tailored for beverage distribution. Their flagship offering, the Pallet Factory, integrates multiple robotic modules to automate storage, picking, replenishment, and palletizing processes. The website is built on Shopify using the Impulse theme, featuring modern web technologies and a professional design. While the site lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies, it provides contact forms for customer engagement and showcases trusted distributor partnerships. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and form protection via hCaptcha, but could be improved by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-positioned in its niche, though it should enhance privacy compliance and security 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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, YouTube, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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

The company targets beverage distributors and warehouse operators seeking to automate labor-intensive processes. Their modular approach allows clients to scale automation at their own pace, reducing labor dependency and improving productivity. The business model is B2B with sales of integrated robotic systems and hardware accessories. The presence of customer testimonials and distributor logos indicates established market presence and customer trust. The partnership with b1dex.com suggests an ecosystem of related hardware solutions. The company has a long domain history consistent with its founding date, supporting credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses hCaptcha to protect forms, indicating basic security awareness. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represents missed opportunities to harden security. No incident response or security policy information is published, which could hinder trust and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Privacy compliance is minimal, lacking privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms, which is a compliance risk especially under GDPR.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  4. Add a published security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The site is hosted on Shopify, leveraging its e-commerce platform and Impulse theme, ensuring a modern and responsive design. The tech stack includes JavaScript, Shopify Liquid templates, Google Tag Manager, and Shopify Pay integration. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site uses multiple CDN domains for fonts, scripts, and images, improving load times. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers indicates some technical debt in security hardening. The site uses Google Ads and Shopify Pixels for marketing and analytics, with moderate user tracking.
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.
