The company offers storage and exchange services for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and over 200 other cryptocurrencies, targeting crypto investors and users seeking a multi-chain wallet solution.

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 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 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Arctic Wallet operates in the competitive cryptocurrency wallet market, focusing on non-custodial solutions that empower users with control over their assets. The business model centers on software distribution and integrated exchange services, with revenue likely derived from exchange fees and possibly premium features. The company targets individual crypto users and investors seeking secure and versatile wallet options. Arctic Inc. maintains a consistent brand and regularly updates its software, indicating active development and customer engagement. Partnerships with payment processors like FinchPay enhance user convenience. The presence on multiple social media platforms and review sites supports community building and reputation management. The domain age and registration details align with the company's founding date, supporting legitimacy. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, suggesting a focused, standalone operation.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses reputable DNS and CDN services via Cloudflare, contributing to a secure infrastructure. Domain registration includes clientTransferProhibited status, preventing unauthorized transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, representing a potential area for DNS security enhancement. The site uses tracking scripts such as Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel, but privacy compliance is maintained with clear policies and consent banners. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from formalized security documentation and DNSSEC implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  3. Add explicit contact channels for security incidents, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Maintain transparency on data retention policies related to analytics and tracking to enhance privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks, primarily Next.js and React, ensuring a responsive and performant user experience. Hosting and DNS are managed through Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site is optimized for mobile devices with adaptive images and responsive design. Performance is enhanced by preloading fonts and images and deferring non-critical scripts. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. Accessibility features are present but could be further audited for compliance. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or static site generation approach. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust and well-maintained, supporting the business goals effectively.
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.
