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

Alt.xyz operates as a modern e-commerce marketplace platform specializing in the buying and selling of cards and related items. The platform emphasizes exclusive inventory and tools designed to maximize sales, targeting a general audience interested in card trading. The website's market position is that of a niche marketplace leveraging technology to enhance user experience and sales efficiency. Technically, the site is built using modern JavaScript frameworks, notably React, and integrates several third-party services including Stripe for payments, Segment for analytics, and Sift for fraud detection. The use of Cloudflare Turnstile indicates proactive bot mitigation efforts. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and multiple security-related services in place, although explicit security headers and formal security policies are absent. Privacy compliance is weak due to the lack of visible privacy and cookie policies, which is a notable gap for an e-commerce platform handling user data and payments. Overall, the site is professionally designed with good user experience but would benefit from enhanced transparency and compliance documentation.

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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Cloudflare, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Alt.xyz's business model centers on providing a digital marketplace for card trading, offering exclusive inventory and sales tools that differentiate it from generic marketplaces. The platform likely generates revenue through transaction fees or commissions on sales. Its target customers are collectors and traders seeking a modern, streamlined buying and selling experience. The integration of advanced analytics and fraud detection services suggests a focus on secure and optimized transactions. The absence of detailed company information and contact data on the main page limits external trust signals but is common in early-stage or privacy-conscious startups. The presence of a verified Twitter handle indicates some level of brand presence and customer engagement. Strategic partnerships with payment and analytics providers enhance operational capabilities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with mandatory HTTPS and integration of security-focused third-party services such as Sentry for error monitoring, Sift for fraud detection, and Cloudflare Turnstile for bot protection. However, the lack of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of published security policies or incident response contacts is a compliance and trust gap. Overall, the platform appears to prioritize security in its technical stack but should improve transparency and formalize security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement and expose a formal security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Add standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information including support emails and phone numbers to enhance trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based frontend with chunked JavaScript assets indicating modular design. It leverages multiple third-party services for payments (Stripe), analytics (Segment), customer feedback (Delighted), fraud detection (Sift), and bot mitigation (Cloudflare Turnstile). Hosting appears to be via Cloudflare CDN, enhancing performance and security. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and includes meta tags for SEO and social media sharing. However, no CMS or backend platform is explicitly detected. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is modern and well-integrated but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security header implementation.
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.
