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

Carnegie Robotics is a well-established company specializing in advanced robotics sensors, stereo cameras, and AI-powered embedded computing solutions for autonomous vehicles and robotics applications. Founded in 2010 and spun out of Carnegie Mellon University, the company has a strong military and commercial foundation, serving sectors such as defense, industrial automation, agriculture, and marine autonomy. Their product portfolio includes ruggedized hardware designed for harsh environments and supported by U.S.-based manufacturing and customer service. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with detailed product and service information, strong partner affiliations, and multimedia content showcasing their capabilities. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript frameworks like jQuery, Owl Carousel, and smooth scrolling libraries. Hosting appears to be on AWS infrastructure with Cloudflare Stream for video delivery. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, some security best practices such as DNSSEC and security headers are not implemented, and there is no cookie consent mechanism or explicit incident response contact information. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections in place. The WHOIS data confirms a long-standing domain registration consistent with the company's history and no privacy protection, enhancing trust. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected in the content. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but lacking cookie consent and GDPR explicit indicators. Overall, Carnegie Robotics presents a credible, professional, and technically sound online presence with minor areas for improvement in security headers, privacy compliance, and incident response transparency. The risk level is low, and the company appears trustworthy and established in its industry.

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

4 findings 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.

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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

Carnegie Robotics occupies a strong market position as a provider of ruggedized robotics sensors and autonomous vehicle solutions, leveraging its Carnegie Mellon University origins and military-grade technology. Their business model focuses on B2B sales of hardware products and custom engineering services, targeting industries such as defense, mining, agriculture, and industrial automation. The company benefits from strategic partnerships with major defense and industrial organizations, enhancing credibility and market reach. Revenue streams likely include product sales, custom solutions, and manufacturing services. The website's detailed case studies and partner logos indicate a mature ecosystem and ongoing growth. The company’s medium size and US-based manufacturing emphasize quality and reliability, appealing to enterprise clients requiring robust autonomy solutions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and domain registration includes EPP status locks to prevent unauthorized transfers or deletions. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS to spoofing attacks. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness communication. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found, and no signs of malware or phishing were detected. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but lacking cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate website but could be improved to meet higher compliance and protection standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish an incident response policy or provide a dedicated security contact email to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern and stable technology stack including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, Owl Carousel, and Rellax for parallax effects. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and Cloudflare Stream for video hosting, indicating a well-integrated multimedia experience. Hosting is likely on AWS infrastructure, supported by DNS records pointing to AWS nameservers. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and smooth scrolling, providing a good user experience across devices. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured navigation. Performance is moderate, with some lazy loading for videos to optimize bandwidth. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom-built site which may require dedicated maintenance. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for minor improvements in accessibility and security best practices.
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.
