65/100

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

Arch Network is a technology company focused on building infrastructure for a Bitcoin-denominated world through its ArchVM execution environment. The platform enables developers to interact directly with Bitcoin base layer assets without the need for bridging or wrapping, positioning itself as an innovator in the blockchain infrastructure space. The website content is professional and targeted primarily at developers and businesses interested in Bitcoin technology. The technical infrastructure leverages modern web technologies including Webflow CMS and Cloudflare security features such as Turnstile captcha to protect against automated threats. While the site demonstrates good design quality and mobile optimization, it lacks visible privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which impacts its compliance posture. Security-wise, the use of Cloudflare WAF is a positive indicator, but the absence of standard security headers and detailed incident response information suggests room for improvement. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is common in blockchain startups but reduces transparency. Overall, the website scores moderately on content quality and technical implementation but scores lower on privacy compliance and business credibility due to missing contact and policy information.

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

2 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';…

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.

  • Email security: did not complete in this scan.
  • DNS health: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Arch Network operates in the technology sector, specifically focusing on blockchain and Bitcoin infrastructure. Its business model centers on providing developer tools and execution environments that facilitate direct interaction with Bitcoin assets. The company targets developers and enterprises building Bitcoin-denominated applications, aiming to establish itself as a key infrastructure provider in the evolving cryptocurrency ecosystem. The presence of a Discord community link indicates active engagement with its user base. The lack of detailed business information such as founding year, physical address, or certifications limits deeper business intelligence insights. No partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website employs Cloudflare Turnstile captcha, indicating an active Web Application Firewall (WAF) presence to mitigate automated attacks. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No SSL/TLS configuration details were available, but the presence of HTTPS links suggests encryption is in place. The lack of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response contacts, indicates gaps in compliance and readiness for security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by implementing standard security headers, publishing security policies, and providing clear incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  2. Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to enhance security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for business and security inquiries.
  4. Publish an incident response policy and contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit WHOIS data and consider reducing privacy protection if transparency benefits business trust.
Site observations

Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Cloudflare detected. Presence of Cloudflare Turnstile captcha script indicates WAF protection and potential content blocking for automated access. These observations may be incomplete. For a fuller analysis, contact guard@offseq.com.

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS and incorporates modern web technologies such as SVG graphics and Lottie animations for enhanced user experience. It uses Cloudflare services for security, including Turnstile captcha to prevent automated abuse. The site is mobile optimized and has a clean, professional design. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the use of rich media content. SEO optimization is basic with proper meta tags but lacks advanced structured data or schema markup. Accessibility features are minimal but present. Technical debt appears low, though improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are needed to modernize the technical infrastructure fully.
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.
