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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

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

Furhat Robotics operates in the advanced technology sector focusing on social robotics and conversational AI. Their business model includes hardware sales (robots), software development kits (SDKs), AI-powered tools for prototyping and enterprise deployment, and community engagement through research publications and conferences. The company targets academic researchers, educators, and enterprise customers seeking innovative human-robot interaction solutions. Partnerships with universities and integration with Microsoft Copilot highlight a strong ecosystem approach. The company maintains active marketing and social media channels, supporting brand visibility and customer engagement. Growth indicators include a broad international community and multiple industry use cases. The absence of phone contact suggests a digital-first customer interaction model.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. Security headers such as Referrer-Policy are present, though Content-Security-Policy and other headers like X-Frame-Options could be improved. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Forms are protected with CAPTCHA and validation scripts. However, no explicit security or incident response policies are published, which could enhance transparency and preparedness. The use of third-party analytics and marketing tools is balanced with privacy compliance measures. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from additional security documentation and header hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy header to reduce XSS risks.
  2. Add security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance contact information with phone numbers or physical addresses to improve trust and customer support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS with extensive use of JavaScript libraries including jQuery and OwlCarousel for UI components. It integrates multiple third-party services such as HubSpot for marketing automation, LinkedIn Insight for analytics, and YouTube for video content. The site uses Google Fonts for typography and Cloudflare Turnstile for bot protection. Performance is optimized with CDN delivery and asynchronous script loading. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed. The technical stack is modern and supports a rich multimedia experience, though some minor improvements in security headers and documentation could reduce technical debt and enhance resilience.
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.
