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

Aptos Labs is a technology company focused on building products and infrastructure for the Aptos blockchain, aiming to accelerate the future of Web3 and decentralization. The company is positioned as an innovative leader in blockchain technology, supported by prominent investors and strategic partners such as Google Cloud, Microsoft, and Mastercard. Their product suite includes wallets, developer tools, identity services, and blockchain explorers, targeting developers, enterprises, and Web3 users. Technically, the website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, hosted with reliable providers and integrated with analytics and marketing tools like Google Analytics and HubSpot. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, although some accessibility features could be improved. The domain registration is consistent with the company's founding timeline and shows no suspicious patterns, though DNSSEC is not enabled. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and has domain-level protections such as clientDeleteProhibited status. However, it lacks visible security headers, a cookie consent mechanism, and published security or incident response policies. No forms or direct contact information are present on the main site, which may impact user trust and compliance. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be enhanced with recommended improvements. The overall risk assessment is low to moderate, with no critical vulnerabilities detected. Strategic recommendations include implementing DNSSEC, adding security headers, publishing security policies, and improving privacy compliance mechanisms to strengthen trust and regulatory adherence.

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

7 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 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 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

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

Aptos Labs operates in the blockchain technology sector, focusing on Web3 infrastructure and decentralized applications. Their business model revolves around developing and offering blockchain-based products and tools that facilitate user adoption and developer engagement. The company benefits from strong venture capital backing and partnerships with major technology and financial firms, enhancing its market credibility and growth potential. Their target customers include blockchain developers, enterprises seeking decentralized solutions, and end-users of Web3 applications. The company has shown steady growth since its founding in 2022, expanding its product portfolio and geographic reach, including entry into the Japanese market. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving cloud providers, financial institutions, and media companies, positioning Aptos Labs as a key player in the evolving blockchain landscape.

Security posture

Aptos Labs demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, and published security policies indicates areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The lack of incident response contact information and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests limited transparency in security operations. Compliance with GDPR is partially evidenced by the presence of a privacy policy, but the missing cookie consent mechanism is a compliance gap. Overall, the security culture appears nascent but with a foundation to build upon. Enhancing security communication and technical controls will improve resilience and stakeholder trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement DNSSEC to secure DNS queries and prevent spoofing.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide clear incident response contact channels.
  4. Deploy a cookie consent banner to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide visible contact information to improve user trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern React and Next.js framework, leveraging DatoCMS for content management and hosted with Squarespace Domains and Google Domains DNS. Integration with Google Analytics and HubSpot indicates a mature marketing and analytics setup. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and good mobile responsiveness. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers represents technical debt in security hardening. No forms were detected, reducing attack surface but also limiting direct user engagement. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but can benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements.
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.
