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

Aptos Names is a blockchain domain name service platform affiliated with Aptos Labs, offering human-readable .apt domains to replace blockchain addresses within the Aptos ecosystem. The website presents a modern, professional interface built with React and Material UI, targeting crypto and NFT users seeking identity solutions on Aptos blockchain. The technical infrastructure is contemporary but lacks some advanced security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are recommended for compliance and security enhancement. The security posture is moderate with no critical vulnerabilities detected in the visible content, but WHOIS data absence raises concerns about domain registration legitimacy. Overall, the platform appears functional and trustworthy due to its association with Aptos Labs, but improvements in transparency and compliance are advised.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

The business operates in the blockchain technology sector, focusing on identity services for the Aptos blockchain community. Its market positioning is niche but important within the growing Aptos ecosystem. The business model revolves around domain registration and management services, likely generating revenue from domain sales and renewals. The presence of official links to Aptos Labs and active community channels like Discord and GitHub indicates a strong partnership ecosystem and community engagement. Growth indicators include integration with blockchain wallets and active documentation and FAQ resources. Strategic observations suggest focusing on expanding compliance, security transparency, and direct contact availability to enhance credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy pages were found, indicating gaps in formal security governance. GDPR compliance is partially addressed via privacy and terms hosted on the parent domain but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. No vulnerability disclosures or security.txt files were detected. The security culture appears nascent, with room for improvement in transparency and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to ensure GDPR and privacy regulation compliance.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies to improve transparency and user trust.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and remove or verify suspicious external domains to reduce risk exposure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based frontend with Material UI components, indicating a contemporary and maintainable tech stack. Google Tag Manager is employed for analytics and marketing tracking. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, especially regarding external script loading. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design but has basic accessibility features. SEO metadata is present but could be expanded for better search engine visibility. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Technical risks include reliance on an unknown external script domain (g9904216750.co) which should be reviewed for security and privacy implications.
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.
