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

APENFT is a blockchain-based NFT marketplace focused on connecting creative artists and collectors primarily within the Tron ecosystem. The platform offers NFT creation, trading, and decentralized storage services leveraging BTFS technology. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content targeting crypto art enthusiasts and NFT collectors globally. Technically, the site is built on React with Material-UI components, hosted on AWS infrastructure, and integrates Google Analytics for user tracking. While the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections, it lacks DNSSEC and important security headers, which could be improved to enhance security posture. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy and terms of service present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the domain registration is consistent with the business timeline and shows no suspicious patterns, supporting legitimacy.

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

APENFT operates in the emerging NFT marketplace sector, leveraging blockchain technology to offer a platform for digital art acquisition and trading. Its partnerships with Tron, BitTorrent, and decentralized storage providers position it well within the blockchain ecosystem. The business model centers on facilitating NFT transactions and providing a bridge between artists and collectors. The company targets crypto-savvy users interested in digital collectibles and blockchain assets. Growth indicators include active social media presence and integration with popular blockchain wallets. The platform's niche focus on Tron blockchain differentiates it from broader NFT marketplaces, potentially appealing to a specialized audience. However, limited publicly available company registration details and partial WHOIS redaction suggest room for improved transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, which could hinder timely handling of security issues. The lack of cookie consent mechanisms also indicates incomplete privacy compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a marketplace but requires enhancements to meet higher compliance and protection standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to prevent DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve privacy compliance and user transparency.
  4. Publish explicit security and incident response policies including contact channels for vulnerability reporting.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing more detailed company registration and data protection officer information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Material-UI, ensuring a responsive and user-friendly interface. Hosting on AWS DNS infrastructure provides reliable availability. Integration with Google Analytics enables user behavior tracking, though privacy controls could be improved. Performance is moderate with skeleton loaders indicating dynamic content loading. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers represents technical debt and potential risk. No CMS detected, indicating a custom-built platform which may require ongoing maintenance. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but has room for security and privacy enhancements.
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.
