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

Alliance.xyz is a specialized accelerator focused on crypto and AI startups, providing funding, mentorship, and community access to help startups reach significant growth milestones. The platform positions itself as a leading entity in the crypto accelerator space, with a strong network of investors and founders. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and Chakra UI, hosted with Cloudflare DNS, and optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present, though DNSSEC is not enabled and privacy compliance documentation is missing. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures to improve compliance 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

6 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"

    • 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

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

Alliance operates in the technology sector, specifically targeting crypto and AI startups. Its business model revolves around providing acceleration services including mentorship, funding ($500k investment), and community networking. The company has a small size and was founded in 2018, with a clear market position as a leading crypto accelerator. The website features testimonials, media coverage, and links to social media, indicating a well-established presence and credibility. The absence of explicit contact information and privacy policies suggests areas for operational improvement. The company leverages partnerships with well-known investors and VCs, enhancing its ecosystem and growth potential.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled, multiple security headers, and domain registration locks to prevent unauthorized changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended enhancement for DNS security. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is good but can be improved by adding formal policies and enabling DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and general inquiries.
  5. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including React, Next.js, and Chakra UI, supported by a headless CMS (Prismic). Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site is well-optimized for mobile and accessibility, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured content. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected. Performance is fast, and the site structure supports a good user experience. Opportunities exist to further enhance security by enabling DNSSEC and improving privacy compliance documentation.
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.
