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

Chain49, operated by Hartmann IT Solutions GmbH, is a technology company specializing in providing blockchain API services for enterprise and developer use. Their platform offers access to a network of cryptocurrency nodes supporting multiple blockchains, enabling clients to build crypto wallets, exchanges, payment processors, and block explorers. Positioned as a niche provider with a strong emphasis on German data protection laws, Chain49 targets startups and enterprises seeking cost-effective and scalable blockchain infrastructure solutions. The company offers tiered subscription plans including free and enterprise options, facilitating flexible adoption. Technically, the website employs a modern JavaScript-based tech stack with libraries such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and various UI/UX enhancement tools. Hosting is inferred to be in Germany, leveraging Hetzner datacenters, which aligns with their data protection claims. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO and accessibility basics, though some advanced accessibility features could be improved. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical issues detected. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR. However, it lacks explicit security policy documentation and incident response contact details. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The WHOIS data is consistent with the business claims, showing transparent registration without privacy protection, enhancing trustworthiness. Overall, Chain49 presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with solid privacy compliance and a clear business focus. Strategic improvements in security documentation and incident response transparency would further strengthen their security posture and customer 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

5 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 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 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

Chain49 operates in the blockchain technology sector, providing API access to multiple cryptocurrency nodes. Their market positioning is that of a specialized SaaS provider targeting developers and enterprises needing blockchain infrastructure without the overhead of running their own nodes. Competitive advantages include a unified API for multiple blockchains, German-based hosting with strong data protection, and tiered pricing plans catering to various customer sizes. Revenue streams derive from subscription plans ranging from free to enterprise levels. The target customer segments include startups, SMEs, and larger enterprises in the crypto space. Growth indicators include active social media presence and integration with RapidAPI. Partnerships with RapidAPI and the parent company Hartmann IT Solutions GmbH support their ecosystem. The company emphasizes ease of use, cost efficiency, and compliance with strict data protection regulations.

Security posture

Chain49 demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. The website uses HTTPS exclusively and provides a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in formal security governance and transparency. The company could improve by adding security headers, publishing a security policy, and providing clear incident response channels. Compliance with GDPR is evident, but additional certifications or security frameworks are not mentioned. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business scale but could be enhanced to meet enterprise expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information, including security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with WCAG standards and broaden user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern front-end stack with popular JavaScript libraries and frameworks enhancing UI and UX. It uses Bootstrap for responsive design and various plugins for animations, counters, and interactive elements. Hosting is likely on Hetzner datacenters in Germany, supporting strong data protection claims. Performance is moderate with no major bottlenecks detected. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured content. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or static site approach. Technical risks are minimal, but the lack of advanced security headers and formal security documentation represents a potential area for technical debt 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.
