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

CV VC AG is a Swiss-based blockchain venture capital firm established in 2016, specializing in seed funding and acceleration programs for transformative blockchain startups globally. Positioned as a pioneer in Crypto Valley, Switzerland, CV VC offers investment products to qualified investors and operates an ecosystem arm called CV Labs, which supports startups through coworking spaces and events. The website reflects a professional and modern digital presence with comprehensive content targeting blockchain innovators and investors. Technically, the site is built on Webflow with integrations including Google Analytics, HubSpot, and CookieScript, ensuring good performance and user experience across devices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA usage, though lacks visible HTTP security headers and published security policies. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which slightly impacts trust but is common for VC firms. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital footprint suitable for its business domain.

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

1 finding 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.

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

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

CV VC operates in the blockchain technology and finance sectors, focusing on early-stage investments and acceleration of blockchain startups. Their business model combines direct investments and accelerator programs, targeting global technology teams leveraging blockchain as a catalyst for industry transformation. The firm maintains a strong market position as a leading blockchain VC in Crypto Valley, supported by a network of partners and subsidiaries such as CV Labs. Revenue streams likely include management fees and returns from venture investments. The company targets startups, investors, and corporates interested in blockchain innovation. The website's content and partnerships indicate a growth-oriented strategy with emphasis on ecosystem development and thought leadership in blockchain.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration and integrates Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse. A cookie consent mechanism is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No explicit security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs are published, which are recommended best practices for organizations handling sensitive investor and startup data. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The security maturity is moderate, with room for improvement in transparency and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content Security Policy, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust with users and investors.
  3. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Continue maintaining GDPR compliance and enhance privacy notices to cover data retention and processing details.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS and hosting, leveraging modern web technologies such as jQuery, Google Analytics, HubSpot marketing and analytics tools, and Google reCAPTCHA for bot protection. The site loads quickly with optimized images and responsive design ensuring excellent mobile usability. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Cookie consent is managed via CookieScript, providing granular user control. The technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained, though the lack of HTTP security headers is a notable gap. The use of third-party analytics and marketing tools is balanced with privacy compliance mechanisms. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and scalable online presence.
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.
