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

Chainalysis is a leading blockchain data platform that provides comprehensive solutions for government agencies, cryptocurrency businesses, and financial institutions to engage confidently with cryptocurrency. Their services include crypto investigations, compliance monitoring, fraud prevention, and blockchain intelligence, supported by a strong brand presence and professional website. The company targets a broad audience in the finance and government sectors, positioning itself as a trusted partner in blockchain analytics and compliance. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with integrations of marketing and analytics tools such as Marketo, Google Tag Manager, and Qualified. The site demonstrates good performance, mobile optimization, and SEO best practices, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security is robust with HTTPS enforcement and security headers, although explicit security policies and incident response information are not publicly disclosed. The security posture is strong with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. However, the absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers and missing WHOIS registration data slightly reduce the overall trust score. Overall, Chainalysis presents a professional, secure, and compliant online presence suitable for its enterprise and government clientele. Strategic improvements in transparency around security policies and direct contact information could further enhance trust and compliance.

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

2 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 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. 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

Chainalysis operates in the blockchain analytics and compliance industry, serving essential sectors such as government, finance, and cryptocurrency businesses. Their competitive advantage lies in their comprehensive platform that combines investigative tools, compliance monitoring, and fraud prevention. The business model is primarily B2B SaaS with additional professional services and training offerings. Revenue streams likely include software subscriptions, consulting, and certification programs. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem with marketing and analytics providers and has a global reach. Growth indicators include a well-structured website, active content marketing, and a broad service portfolio. The absence of WHOIS data is a minor anomaly but does not detract significantly from their market credibility.

Security posture

Chainalysis demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, including Content Security Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. The website does not expose sensitive information or use vulnerable libraries. Forms are secured with validation and integrated with trusted marketing platforms. However, the lack of a publicly available security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. No direct security contact channels were found, which could hinder incident reporting and response. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy policies and consent mechanisms. Overall, the security maturity is high but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized disclosure practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide direct company security contact emails (e.g., security@chainalysis.com) to facilitate incident communication.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and marketing tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance public documentation of certifications and compliance frameworks to strengthen business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform, leveraging modern marketing and analytics technologies such as Marketo, Google Tag Manager, and Qualified.js. The site uses jQuery and New Relic for performance monitoring. SEO is optimized with Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. The technical stack is mature and well-integrated, supporting a professional user experience. Opportunities exist to improve hosting transparency and reduce technical debt by auditing third-party dependencies and enhancing security-related metadata.
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.
