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

Chaingrow, Inc. is a technology company specializing in next-generation solutions for vertical farming, focusing on IoT systems and controlled-environment agriculture to improve food quality, productivity, and sustainability. The company offers products and services such as IoT Systems Design and Integration, targeting vertical farming businesses and sustainable agriculture practitioners. Their market position is that of a niche innovator in agricultural technology. Technically, the website uses modern frontend technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, and Google Analytics, hosted under a GoDaddy registrar domain created in 2018. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and performance but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is basic with no detected security headers or DNSSEC enabled, and no visible SSL/TLS configuration details. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies and no consent mechanisms. Contact information is limited to a contact form with no direct emails or phone numbers. Overall, the website is professional but could improve in security, privacy, and compliance to enhance trust 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.

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

8 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
    • 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 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

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

Chaingrow operates in the technology sector with a focus on vertical farming solutions, leveraging IoT and controlled-environment technologies. Their business model centers on product development and integration services for agricultural technology. The company appears small-sized, founded in 2018, with no public parent or subsidiary affiliations. The website content and structure indicate a consistent brand presence but lack visible trust signals such as certifications or customer testimonials. The absence of direct contact details and privacy policies may limit customer trust and regulatory compliance. The company uses Google Analytics for user tracking but does not provide cookie consent, which could impact GDPR compliance. There is no evidence of partnerships or related domains. The company’s domain registration is stable and consistent with its business timeline.

Security posture

The website’s security posture is basic. The domain uses registrar-level protections such as clientDeleteProhibited and related EPP status codes, which is positive. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security HTTP headers are detected in the HTML content, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. SSL/TLS configuration details are not visible from the provided data, so the security of data in transit cannot be fully assessed. No privacy or security policies are published, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available. The use of Google Analytics without visible cookie consent mechanisms indicates potential privacy compliance gaps. Overall, the site lacks several best practices that would improve security and privacy posture.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  3. Add security HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Conduct a security audit to verify SSL/TLS configuration and ensure all forms and inputs are secured against common vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Bootstrap and jQuery, with additional libraries like Feather Icons and Shuffle.js for UI and gallery features. Google Analytics is integrated for user tracking. The site is hosted under a GoDaddy registrar domain created in 2018. The HTML structure is valid and includes responsive design elements, indicating good mobile optimization. However, SEO optimization is basic with limited meta tags and no structured data like JSON-LD or Open Graph tags detected. Accessibility features are minimal. Performance is moderate, with external dependencies on Google-hosted scripts. There is no CMS detected, suggesting a custom or static site build. The lack of security headers and privacy policies indicates technical debt in security and compliance areas.
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.
