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

4 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 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

  3. 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

    • 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

Cosmostation operates in the blockchain technology sector, focusing on validator services and blockchain infrastructure. Their business model revolves around providing staking and validation services, wallet solutions, and blockchain explorers, targeting blockchain users, developers, and investors. The company benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem with leading blockchain projects, enhancing its market position and credibility. Revenue streams likely include staking rewards, product offerings, and enterprise services. Growth indicators include recent partnerships and product launches, such as support for new blockchains and wallet upgrades. The company maintains active community engagement and content marketing through its blog and social media channels, reinforcing its brand presence and trustworthiness.

Security posture

Cosmostation exhibits a mature security posture evidenced by ISO 27001 certification and domain registration protections such as clientDeleteProhibited status. The website enforces HTTPS and uses modern web technologies, but lacks visible security headers and DNSSEC, which are recommended for enhanced security. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, representing a compliance gap. Privacy compliance is partial, with privacy and terms of service pages but no cookie consent mechanism. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and configure security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to enhance transparency and trust.
  4. Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js frameworks with Material-UI for styling, hosted on AWS infrastructure. It uses Google Fonts and integrates Google Analytics for tracking. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO metadata and structured content. Performance is moderate with prefetching of scripts and optimized font loading. There is no detected CMS, indicating a custom or framework-based build. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which could expose the site to certain attacks. The site demonstrates good technical maturity but can benefit from enhanced security configurations 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.
