Security score

75/100

Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.coingecko.com is currently inaccessible due to a Cloudflare Web Application Firewall (WAF) challenge page that requires human verification via Turnstile captcha. This blocking prevents access to the actual website content, metadata, and business information, severely limiting the ability to perform a comprehensive analysis. The WHOIS lookup for the domain failed, returning no registration data, which raises concerns about the domain's registration status or privacy protection mechanisms. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies were detected, nor was any contact or incident response information available. The technical infrastructure appears to rely on Cloudflare for security and hosting, but no further details on CMS, frameworks, or analytics could be extracted due to the blocking. Overall, the website's security posture, privacy compliance, and business credibility cannot be properly assessed under these conditions.

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

6 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. 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: Cloudflare

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Due to the Cloudflare WAF challenge blocking access, no business intelligence data such as company name, market position, business model, or key services could be extracted. The domain's WHOIS data is missing, which is unusual for a well-known service and suggests either privacy protection or an unregistered domain. No external partner or subsidiary domains were identified. The lack of accessible content and metadata prevents evaluation of the company's competitive advantages, revenue streams, or customer segments.

Security posture

The website is protected by Cloudflare's security mechanisms, including Turnstile captcha, indicating an effort to mitigate automated attacks and bots. However, the absence of accessible content means no security headers, SSL configuration details, or vulnerability disclosures could be verified. The lack of privacy and cookie policies, as well as contact information for incident response, indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. The security score is low due to these factors and the inability to verify best practices beyond the WAF.

Recommendations

  1. Work with Cloudflare to reduce or customize WAF challenge settings to allow legitimate traffic and enable content analysis.
  2. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Provide visible contact information including security incident response channels to enhance transparency and readiness.
  4. Ensure WHOIS data is publicly available or provide justification for privacy protection to improve legitimacy perception.
  5. Implement security headers and SSL best practices and make them verifiable by external tools.
Site observations

Technical notes

Notes

The website is currently served behind Cloudflare's WAF with Turnstile captcha, which blocks automated access and obscures the underlying technical stack. No CMS, frameworks, or analytics platforms could be identified. The HTML content is minimal and designed solely for human verification, lacking metadata, structured data, or SEO elements. Hosting is via Cloudflare, but performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility cannot be assessed. The technical implementation is basic and focused on security blocking rather than content delivery.
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.
