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

Apillon.io is a technology startup platform focused on enabling faster launch and scalable development of Web3 applications by combining Web3 technologies with Web2 logic. The platform targets developers and businesses interested in blockchain and decentralized app development, offering embedded wallet solutions and blockchain integration services. The website is built using modern web technologies including Nuxt.js and Tailwind CSS, hosted on AWS infrastructure, and integrates MailerLite for marketing automation. The site is accessible with no blocking or WAF challenges, but lacks key compliance pages such as privacy policy, cookie policy, and terms of service. No contact information or security policies are published, which limits transparency and user trust. The domain is relatively new, registered in 2022 with privacy protection, which is common for startups but reduces registrant visibility. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and domain locks, but missing security headers and DNSSEC. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from improved compliance documentation and security best practices.

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

5 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

  3. 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

Apillon operates in the emerging Web3 technology sector, positioning itself as a platform-as-a-service provider that simplifies Web3 app development and scaling. Its business model likely revolves around platform subscriptions or usage fees for blockchain integration and wallet embedding. The company targets a niche audience of Web3 developers and enterprises seeking to leverage blockchain technology without deep technical complexity. The use of privacy protection in domain registration is typical for startups protecting early-stage identity. The absence of contact details and compliance documentation suggests early-stage maturity or a focus on invite-only or developer community engagement. The integration with MailerLite indicates active marketing efforts. No partnerships or subsidiaries are publicly linked. The company is small and US-based, founded in 2022.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and has domain status locks that prevent unauthorized domain transfers or deletions, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are recommended to mitigate common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, limiting transparency for security researchers. No contact emails or phone numbers are provided for security or abuse reporting. The use of MailerLite for marketing introduces third-party tracking but no extensive analytics or tracking services were detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by adding security headers, DNSSEC, and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement and enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security and abuse reporting channels.
  5. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework (Nuxt.js) with Tailwind CSS for styling, indicating a contemporary and maintainable front-end architecture. Hosting on AWS DNS infrastructure suggests reliable and scalable backend support. The site loads multiple preloaded scripts and stylesheets, with some prefetching to optimize performance. MailerLite integration supports marketing automation but no heavy analytics or tracking frameworks were detected, which is positive for privacy. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, accessibility features appear basic and could be enhanced. No CMS was detected, implying a custom or static site generation approach. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security configurations.
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.
