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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

Backed Finance operates in the finance sector with a focus on blockchain and DeFi integration. Their competitive advantage lies in their compliance with the Swiss DLT Act, use of licensed custodians, and transparent proof of reserves. The company targets institutional clients and qualified investors, offering customizable tokenized products and a turnkey tokenization platform. Their ecosystem includes collaborations with leading DeFi protocols and crypto wallets, enhancing liquidity and usability of their tokenized assets. The business model leverages blockchain technology to reduce friction in asset management and broaden access to global markets. Growth indicators include expanding product offerings and partnerships with established crypto exchanges.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, cookie consent mechanisms, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of third-party licensed custodians and proof of reserves enhances trust and transparency. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent, representing areas for improvement. The absence of DNSSEC and some security headers suggests moderate room for enhancement. Overall, the security posture is strong for a fintech platform but could benefit from formalized security documentation and public incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  2. Implement and document additional security headers such as X-Frame-Options and Referrer-Policy to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance DNS security by enabling DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing.
  5. Maintain and regularly audit third-party integrations and dependencies to prevent supply chain vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies including Google Fonts, jQuery, and Google Analytics. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and demonstrates fast loading times. SEO practices are solid with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. Cookie consent is managed via a third-party tool (Finsweet). The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, though some security headers could be explicitly set. The integration of Chainlink oracles and multichain bridging indicates advanced blockchain interoperability capabilities.
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.
