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. 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 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

Astar Network operates in the blockchain and Web3 technology sector, targeting developers, businesses, and enthusiasts interested in decentralized applications and multi-chain interoperability. Its business model revolves around platform development, ecosystem growth, and community-driven innovation. The company benefits from strategic investments and partnerships, positioning it competitively in the evolving Web3 market. Revenue streams likely include ecosystem grants, developer tools, and business services. The website content and ecosystem links indicate a growing and active community with a focus on innovation and scalability.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies, as well as lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. No known vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. The site would benefit from publishing a security.txt file and providing clear channels for security incident reporting to enhance its security culture and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  2. Add explicit contact information for security incidents and consider publishing a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure.
  3. Enhance accessibility features and conduct regular security audits to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Improve transparency by including terms of service and data retention policies.
  5. Maintain and expand strategic partnerships to strengthen market position and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks Nuxt.js and Vue.js, styled with Tailwind CSS, and incorporates popular libraries such as Swiper.js for UI components. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading speed. Hosting details are not explicitly identified, but the site uses a custom or headless CMS, likely Strapi, for content management. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a scalable and engaging user experience with room for further enhancements in accessibility and performance.
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.
