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

    • 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

  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

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

Anchorage Digital targets institutional investors such as venture capital firms, hedge funds, governments, and asset managers. Its business model centers on providing secure, compliant crypto financial infrastructure with a focus on regulated custody and trading services. The company benefits from strong investor backing and regulatory approvals, enhancing market trust. Its ecosystem includes subsidiaries in Singapore and New York, expanding its global footprint. Anchorage Digital's integrated platform and regulatory status provide competitive advantages in the evolving crypto finance sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure form handling. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response information, and vulnerability disclosure program indicates areas for improvement in transparency and readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Compliance with GDPR is suggested by the presence of privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing detailed security governance documents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers for support and security inquiries.
  4. Enhance GDPR compliance disclosures by naming a Data Protection Officer or contact point.
  5. Regularly audit WHOIS registration data to ensure domain transparency and reduce suspicion.

The website is built using Webflow CMS with modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and Swiper for UI components. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, Demandbase, Facebook Pixel, and Reddit Pixel, indicating a sophisticated digital marketing strategy. Hosting is via Webflow, ensuring good performance and scalability. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. Opportunities exist to improve technical SEO and accessibility further by adding ARIA landmarks and enhancing semantic HTML.
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.
