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

Rethink Robotics is a technology company specializing in advanced robotic automation solutions, including collaborative robots, autonomous mobile robots, and integrated control systems. Their products target industrial and logistics sectors, aiming to improve efficiency, safety, and productivity. The company has a solid market position as an innovator in robotics with a medium-sized business footprint based in the United States. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and uses modern web technologies such as WordPress with Elementor and Yoast SEO. Analytics and marketing tools like Piwik PRO, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook Pixel are employed, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protection, but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the website is trustworthy and business credible, with clear contact information and consistent branding.

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

3 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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

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

  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

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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 operates a B2B business model selling robotic automation products to industrial and logistics customers. Their key offerings include the Reacher cobot, Ryder autonomous logistics robot, and Riser integrated robotic solutions. The website content and structured data reflect a focus on innovation, precision, and safety. The company appears established since 2010 with a medium size and US presence. The marketing ecosystem includes social media channels on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Instagram, supporting brand visibility. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content. The business leverages modern digital marketing and analytics tools to support growth and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and uses domain status clientTransferProhibited to prevent unauthorized domain transfers. However, no DNSSEC is enabled, and no security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could improve protection against common web attacks. There is no visible security policy or incident response information on the site, nor a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file. Forms appear standard without explicit advanced security controls visible. Tracking and marketing scripts are present, which may increase privacy risks if not properly managed. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced with additional headers, policies, and compliance mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using the Astra theme and Elementor page builder, supported by Yoast SEO for search optimization. It uses jQuery and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, HubSpot, and Piwik PRO. The site is mobile optimized and uses modern CSS and JavaScript frameworks. Performance is moderate with some lazy loading and video background usage. Hosting provider is not explicitly identified but domain registrar is InterNetX GmbH. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from improved security headers and privacy compliance features.
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.
