Axelar is a leading multichain platform that unifies Web3 for developers by enabling seamless interoperability across blockchains. The platform targets developers and blockchain users seeking to build and use decentralized applications that operate across multiple blockchain networks. Axelar positions itself as a core infrastructure provider in the blockchain ecosystem, offering services such as the Interchain Token Service and enterprise blockchain solutions. The website reflects a professional and modern digital presence with strong branding and partner endorsements from key sectors like DeFi, RWAs, and infrastructure. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Twitter tracking scripts. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Hosting appears to be managed by Identity Digital Inc., though explicit hosting details are limited due to WHOIS data unavailability. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses standard tracking and analytics tools. However, explicit security headers are not clearly documented in the provided data, and there is no visible privacy policy or terms of service, which are critical for compliance and user trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain registration trust insights, but the overall professional presentation and ecosystem integration suggest legitimacy. Overall, Axelar's website demonstrates a strong business and technical foundation with room for improvement in privacy compliance and explicit security disclosures. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and terms policies, enhancing security header implementation, and providing clear contact channels for security incidents.

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

3 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 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. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Axelar operates in the blockchain technology sector, focusing on enabling cross-chain interoperability and Web3 development. Its business model centers on providing a decentralized network and development platform that connects various blockchains and financial infrastructures. The company targets developers and enterprises building multichain applications, positioning itself as a critical infrastructure provider. The presence of partners in DeFi, RWAs, and infrastructure sectors indicates a broad and strategic partnership ecosystem. The website content and partner logos reflect a medium-sized enterprise with a strong market position in blockchain interoperability. Revenue streams likely include platform usage fees, enterprise solutions, and developer tools. Growth indicators include active ecosystem development, community engagement, and continuous product offerings like the Axelar Virtual Machine and Interchain Amplifier.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security posture with enforced HTTPS and use of reputable analytics and tracking services. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap that could be addressed to enhance protection against common web attacks. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerabilities were identified in the HTML content. The absence of a published privacy policy and terms of service is a compliance risk, especially under GDPR and other data protection regulations. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good, with recommendations to improve policy transparency and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and document security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and establish a vulnerability disclosure policy.
  4. Enhance transparency on data collection, retention, and GDPR compliance within the website content.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern front-end technologies and third-party services such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Twitter tracking pixels. The site is optimized for mobile devices and demonstrates fast loading times and good accessibility features. The use of asynchronous script loading and CDN-hosted assets contributes to performance. Hosting appears to be managed by Identity Digital Inc., though explicit hosting details are limited. The technical implementation is robust with a clean design and structured content, supporting a professional user experience. Opportunities exist to improve SEO by adding structured data (JSON-LD) and enhancing meta tags beyond the basics.
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.
