Base58 is a technology-driven investment firm specializing in cryptoassets, offering asset management, agency brokerage, OTC services, and blockchain network participation. The company targets investors and traders seeking exposure to crypto markets with tailored and technology-enhanced solutions. Their market position is that of a specialized boutique firm leveraging software development to optimize investment operations and trade execution. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow platform, utilizing modern web technologies including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and reCAPTCHA for security. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO and accessibility basics, hosted on Webflow infrastructure. Performance is moderate with a professional design and clear navigation. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and use of reCAPTCHA on forms, but lacks visible security headers and published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. Privacy compliance is strong with clear privacy and cookie policies and explicit user consent 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. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

  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

  3. 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
    • 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

Base58 operates in the finance and technology sectors, focusing on cryptoasset investment solutions. Their business model includes asset management, brokerage, OTC trading, and participation in blockchain networks. The firm targets sophisticated investors and traders interested in crypto markets. Partnerships with platforms like AngelList and Workable indicate active recruitment and growth orientation. The company is based in Switzerland, a known hub for crypto finance, enhancing its market credibility. Revenue streams likely derive from asset management fees, brokerage commissions, and network participation returns. The firm emphasizes technology development to gain competitive advantages in execution and operational efficiency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting forms against automated abuse. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No publicly available security policy or incident response contact information was found, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting and response. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, with explicit user consent for communications and data processing. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adding security headers and formalizing incident response disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide clear incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses) to facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible disclosure and improve trust.
  4. Continue to maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to ensure ongoing GDPR and global privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and conduct periodic security audits to identify and remediate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS and hosting, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Google services for analytics and tag management. The use of Google reCAPTCHA enhances form security. The site loads external fonts from Google Fonts and uses CDN-hosted assets for performance. The design is responsive and mobile-optimized with good SEO meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, typical for Webflow-hosted sites. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated libraries. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and accessibility compliance. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional online presence.
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.
