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

ArthSwap is a decentralized finance platform built on the Astar Network, offering a suite of DeFi services including token swapping, liquidity provision, staking, and an IDO launchpad. It targets users and projects within the Astar ecosystem, aiming to be a central hub for DeFi activities with a focus on high APY and high-frequency trading. The platform is supported by notable investors and ecosystem partners, enhancing its market credibility. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies such as React, Next.js, and Chakra UI, providing a responsive and user-friendly interface. However, the site lacks visible security headers and privacy-related policies, which are important for compliance and user trust. No forms or direct contact information are present on the homepage, limiting user engagement options. From a security perspective, the absence of WHOIS data and security policies reduces transparency and trust. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the site appears fully accessible. The platform would benefit from implementing standard security headers, publishing privacy and cookie policies, and providing clear contact and incident response information. Overall, ArthSwap presents as a promising DeFi platform with solid ecosystem backing but requires improvements in transparency, privacy compliance, and security best practices to enhance 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

ArthSwap operates in the competitive DeFi sector within the Astar Network and broader Polkadot ecosystem. Its business model revolves around providing decentralized exchange services, liquidity mining, staking rewards, and a launchpad for new projects. The platform leverages native token incentives to attract liquidity providers and traders. Strategic partnerships with ecosystem investors like Next Web Capital, Hypersphere Ventures, and DFG indicate strong backing and potential for growth. The target customer segment includes DeFi users and blockchain projects seeking funding and liquidity solutions. Growth indicators include ecosystem endorsements and a focus on high APY offerings. However, the lack of detailed company information and contact data may hinder broader adoption and trust.

Security posture

The current security posture of ArthSwap's website is moderate but has notable gaps. The site uses HTTPS, but no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, which are critical for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, limiting transparency in security management. The lack of WHOIS data reduces domain trustworthiness. No signs of malware or phishing were found, and no forms collect sensitive data on the homepage, reducing immediate risk exposure. Overall, the platform should prioritize implementing security headers, publishing compliance documents, and establishing clear incident response channels to improve its security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish detailed privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Provide clear contact information including support and security incident response channels.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate risks.
  5. Enhance transparency by updating WHOIS information or providing verified domain registration details.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework with Chakra UI for styling, indicating a contemporary and maintainable tech stack. The site is mobile optimized with good design quality and user experience. However, SEO and accessibility features appear basic, and no analytics or tracking scripts were detected, which may limit marketing insights. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. Performance is moderate, with no explicit indicators of slow loading or errors. The absence of forms reduces complexity but also limits user interaction capabilities. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced SEO, accessibility, and security implementations.
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.
