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

Cashtab is an open source, non-custodial web wallet designed for the eCash (XEC) cryptocurrency ecosystem. It offers users a fast and secure way to manage their eCash and eTokens via a web interface and browser extensions for Chrome and Brave. The website positions itself as the official wallet for eCash, targeting cryptocurrency users seeking a reliable and open source wallet solution. The business model centers around providing free, open source wallet software without custodial control, appealing to privacy-conscious users and developers. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies including React and JavaScript, with a focus on web and browser extension platforms. The site is hosted under a reputable registrar and uses HTTPS for secure communications. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC is not enabled, which are areas for improvement. Performance and mobile optimization are basic but functional, with moderate SEO and accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates basic good practices such as HTTPS usage and domain registration protections. However, the absence of privacy and cookie policies, lack of contact information, and missing security headers reduce its compliance and trustworthiness. Google Analytics and Tag Manager are used for user tracking, but no explicit privacy compliance mechanisms are evident. No forms or sensitive data inputs are present on the main page, reducing immediate risk exposure. Overall, Cashtab presents a legitimate and functional cryptocurrency wallet service with a solid domain history and open source transparency. To enhance trust and compliance, the site should implement privacy and cookie policies, improve security headers, and provide clear contact and incident response information. These steps will strengthen its security posture and user confidence.

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.

Priority findings

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

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

Cashtab operates in the cryptocurrency technology sector, focusing on wallet software for the eCash (XEC) blockchain. Its competitive advantage lies in being an official, open source, non-custodial wallet, appealing to users valuing security and control over their funds. The business model is software-centric, likely supported by community contributions or related services. Target customers include cryptocurrency holders and developers within the eCash ecosystem. The site’s long domain age suggests established presence, though the small size and limited content indicate a focused niche operation. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data. The use of GitHub and browser extensions indicates a developer-friendly approach and ecosystem integration.

Security posture

The website’s security maturity is basic but adequate for its purpose. HTTPS is enforced, and domain registration status flags protect against unauthorized changes. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options leaves some attack surfaces unmitigated. No privacy or cookie policies reduce compliance with GDPR and similar regulations. Absence of contact or incident response information limits user support in case of security issues. The use of Google Analytics introduces moderate user tracking without visible consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is functional but would benefit from enhancements in policy transparency, header implementation, and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and integrity.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security and abuse contacts to improve incident response readiness.
  5. Review and disclose data collection and retention policies related to Google Analytics and other tracking tools to enhance privacy transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based frontend with JavaScript and CSS, delivering a web wallet and browser extension experience. Hosting is managed via a reputable registrar, though no CMS or backend platform is detected. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data but lacks advanced structured data or JSON-LD. The site uses Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking. No forms or user input fields are present on the main page, reducing complexity and risk. Technical debt appears low but the absence of security headers and DNSSEC indicates areas for modernization and risk mitigation.
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.
