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

Horizon Robotics is a prominent technology company specializing in smart driving solutions for passenger vehicles. Their offerings integrate proprietary software and hardware technologies to provide advanced assisted driving capabilities that enhance safety and user experience. Positioned as a key enabler in the automotive digital transformation, Horizon Robotics targets automotive manufacturers and technology integrators with scalable, integrated solutions. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and clear business focus. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, incorporating modern web technologies and plugins such as CookieYes for cookie consent and Google Analytics for tracking, although the latter is not fully configured. The site demonstrates good SEO practices with structured data and meta tags, and it is optimized for mobile devices with a moderate performance profile. From a security perspective, the site employs HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response information. No critical vulnerabilities or blocking mechanisms were detected, but improvements are recommended in privacy policy publication, security header implementation, and analytics configuration. Overall, Horizon Robotics' website presents a trustworthy and professional digital presence aligned with its business objectives. Strategic enhancements in privacy compliance and security posture would further strengthen its risk profile and user trust.

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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

Horizon Robotics operates in the technology and transportation sectors, focusing on smart driving and assisted driving solutions. Their business model centers on providing proprietary software and hardware technologies to automotive manufacturers and partners, enabling the commercialization of smart vehicle technologies. The company holds a strong market position as a leading provider and enabler of automotive digital transformation. Their target customers include OEMs and smart vehicle technology integrators. The website's integration of social media channels and structured data indicates a mature digital marketing approach. However, the absence of detailed contact information and privacy policies suggests areas for operational transparency improvement. The company appears to be large in size with a consistent branding strategy and a focus on innovation and safety in transportation technology.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and a cookie consent mechanism in place. However, it lacks several best practice security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. The Google Analytics plugin is present but not fully configured, which could lead to data leakage or tracking issues. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, indicating a gap in transparency and readiness. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities in the visible content. To improve security posture, the company should implement comprehensive security headers, publish security policies, and ensure proper configuration of analytics tools. These steps will enhance protection against attacks and build user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Properly configure or remove unused Google Analytics plugins to prevent data leakage and tracking errors.
  4. Develop and publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and security readiness.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using the Divi theme, which provides a flexible and visually appealing design framework. It leverages Google Fonts for typography and includes advanced UI components such as carousels (Swiper.js) and popups (Magnific Popup). Cookie consent is managed via CookieYes, indicating compliance efforts. The site uses jQuery with a custom implementation and includes Google Analytics for visitor tracking, though it is not fully configured. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices including structured JSON-LD data and Open Graph tags. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and analytics configuration are recommended to reduce risks and enhance operational stability.
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.
