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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

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

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

DCG holds a strong market position as a capital engine in the crypto industry, leveraging a diversified business model that spans multiple sectors within finance and technology. Their revenue streams likely include investment returns, asset management fees, and operational income from subsidiaries. The company targets institutional investors, crypto startups, and technology developers. The presence of multiple subsidiaries and a global footprint indicates a mature and expansive partnership ecosystem. The website's content and structure support their credibility and market leadership, although direct contact information is limited to a contact form, which may be a strategic choice to manage inquiries.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS with a strong SSL configuration and employs Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. Domain registration is protected by privacy services, which is standard for large enterprises. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which could be improved to enhance transparency and trust. The site does not display cookie consent mechanisms, which may pose compliance risks under GDPR and other privacy regulations. Overall, the security posture is solid but could benefit from enhanced policy disclosures and DNS security improvements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  4. Provide direct contact emails or phone numbers for business and security inquiries to improve transparency.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and FullPage.js for enhanced user experience and animations via Lottie. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking, with Google reCAPTCHA integrated for bot protection. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization, though accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site uses client-side navigation enhancements and asynchronous script loading to optimize user experience. Technical debt appears low, but adding accessibility improvements and cookie consent mechanisms would enhance compliance and usability.
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.
