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

Comp.Vote is a specialized web service focused on providing gas-less voting and delegation solutions for Compound Finance governance. It enables users to sign and relay governance transactions without incurring on-chain gas fees, targeting DeFi participants and stakeholders. The platform offers a public API for integration, enhancing accessibility and automation for governance interactions. The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, hosted on Vercel, ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. The user interface is professional and consistent with Compound Finance branding, fostering trust within the DeFi community. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and integrates WalletConnect for secure wallet interactions, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies, which are recommended for improvement. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no visible privacy or cookie policies, which could be a concern for regulatory adherence. Overall, the domain registration is privacy protected, common in blockchain projects, and the website content aligns with a legitimate DeFi governance service. Strategic recommendations include publishing comprehensive privacy and security policies, implementing security headers, and enhancing transparency to improve 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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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 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';…

  3. 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

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

Comp.Vote operates in the decentralized finance sector, providing a niche service that facilitates governance participation on Compound Finance without gas fees. Its business model revolves around transaction relaying and delegation services, appealing to crypto users who seek cost-efficient governance engagement. The platform's integration with tally.xyz for proposal data and use of WalletConnect for wallet connectivity indicate a strong partnership ecosystem within the DeFi space. The service targets technically savvy users involved in governance voting, positioning itself as a valuable tool in the Compound Finance ecosystem. The absence of detailed company information and physical presence suggests a small, community-led project. Growth potential lies in expanding API usage and enhancing user trust through improved compliance and security measures.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure wallet connection via WalletConnect. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of published security policies and incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which could expose the service to regulatory risks. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a small DeFi service but would benefit from formalized policies and enhanced header configurations to strengthen protection and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve regulatory compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Provide a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Enhance transparency around data collection and retention practices to align with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, hosted on Vercel, which provides a scalable and performant infrastructure. The use of Vercel Analytics indicates basic user behavior tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. The frontend loads multiple JavaScript chunks asynchronously, supporting efficient performance. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site generation approach. The absence of explicit security headers is a technical gap. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with room for security enhancements and improved privacy compliance.
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.
