75/100

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

Arweave.net is a domain associated with Arweave, a decentralized storage network focused on permanent data storage using blockchain technology. The website content provided is minimal, primarily showing JSON data related to network status, indicating a technical endpoint rather than a full-featured marketing or informational site. The business targets developers and blockchain users interested in decentralized data storage solutions. The domain is well established since 2018 and uses Cloudflare DNS services, reflecting a moderate level of technical infrastructure. However, the website lacks typical business and compliance content such as privacy policies, cookie notices, terms of service, and contact information, which limits its usability for general visitors and compliance posture. Security posture is weak based on the provided data, with no visible security headers or SSL configuration details, and no evidence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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.

    • High

      No DMARC record found

      DMARC provides email authentication and reporting

      What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"

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

  • Security headers: 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

Arweave operates in the technology sector, specifically in decentralized blockchain-based storage. The business model revolves around providing permanent data storage services leveraging blockchain technology. The domain age and registrar information are consistent with the business timeline, supporting legitimacy. The lack of visible marketing or contact information suggests the site is primarily a technical node or status endpoint rather than a customer-facing portal. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the provided data. The company appears to be small in size with a niche market focus on blockchain developers and decentralized application users.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is limited based on the available data. There is no indication of HTTPS enforcement or security headers, which are critical for protecting user data and preventing common web attacks. 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 present, which reduces transparency and trust. The domain uses Cloudflare DNS but DNSSEC is not enabled, which could improve DNS security. Overall, the security maturity appears low, and improvements are needed to enhance protection and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a strong SSL/TLS configuration to secure all website traffic.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Publish terms of service and incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  4. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security.
  5. Incorporate security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.

Key observations

  2. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies found on the homepage.
  3. No contact information or forms present on the homepage.
  4. No security headers or SSL configuration details available from provided data.
  5. Domain is well established and consistent with business age.
  6. No advertising or analytics scripts detected in the provided HTML content.
  7. No social media or external links found in the provided content.
  8. Website appears to be a technical status endpoint rather than a full marketing or informational site.
Technical notes

Notes

The website appears to be hosted behind Cloudflare DNS, which provides some level of DNS and CDN protection. The HTML content is minimal, containing only JSON data about the Arweave network status, indicating the site functions as a technical node or API endpoint rather than a full website. No CMS or frameworks are detected. Performance is likely moderate given the minimal content. There is no evidence of mobile optimization or accessibility features from the provided data. SEO optimization is poor due to lack of meta tags and content. The technical stack is very basic and could benefit from modernization and improved user-facing features.
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.
