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. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

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

Boston Dynamics operates primarily in the technology sector with significant focus on manufacturing, energy, and transportation industries. Their business model centers on B2B sales of robotics products and services, including software development kits and integration consulting. The company benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem and a well-established brand, supported by a comprehensive content strategy including case studies, blogs, and webinars. Their market positioning as a leader in robotics is reinforced by consistent branding, a large company size, and a parent company relationship with Hyundai Motor Group. Growth indicators include active content updates and a broad range of solutions targeting diverse industrial challenges.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, the absence of DNSSEC and a published security.txt or explicit incident response contact reduces the overall security completeness. The use of reputable third-party services for analytics and marketing is balanced with privacy controls. The security culture appears proactive but could be enhanced by formalizing vulnerability disclosure and incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider publishing certifications or compliance attestations to strengthen trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform, utilizing modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and CookieYes for SEO and privacy compliance respectively. It integrates multimedia content via Wistia and employs Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Hosting and DNS services are provided by reputable providers, with DNS hosted on Google Cloud DNS and domain registered via Squarespace Domains II LLC. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses standard web technologies including jQuery and CSS3, with no deprecated or vulnerable libraries detected. Opportunities exist to improve DNS security and formalize security policies.
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.
