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

Distributed Global is a small investment firm specializing in blockchain and digital asset ecosystems, founded in 2017. The website provides minimal content focused on describing the business as an investment entity in the blockchain space, targeting investors and participants in digital assets. The site is basic in design and content, with limited navigation and no advanced features such as forms or social media integration. Technically, the website uses an outdated version of jQuery (1.6.4) and is hosted with GoDaddy as inferred from the nameservers. There is no evidence of modern CMS or frameworks, and no advanced SEO or accessibility features are present. The site lacks privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which impacts compliance and user trust. From a security perspective, the domain registration is stable and consistent with the business claims, with a long registration period and registrar protections. However, the website lacks security headers, DNSSEC is not enabled, and the use of an outdated JavaScript library introduces potential vulnerabilities. No HTTPS/SSL information was provided, which is a critical gap. No incident response or security policies are published. Overall, the website is functional but basic, with moderate trustworthiness based on domain registration and business description. The lack of privacy and security best practices, combined with outdated technology, suggests room for improvement in security posture and compliance. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, upgrading libraries, adding security headers, and publishing privacy and cookie policies to enhance 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

8 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 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
    • 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';…

  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

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

Distributed Global operates as a niche investment firm focused on blockchain and digital assets, targeting investors interested in this emerging sector. The business model centers on investment management within the digital asset ecosystem. The company appears to be small in size, founded in 2017, with no visible parent or subsidiary companies. The website content is minimal, indicating a possible early-stage or boutique firm. There is no evidence of revenue streams or detailed service offerings beyond the general investment focus. The lack of social media or partner links suggests limited public partnership ecosystem or marketing efforts. The domain registration and website content are consistent, supporting legitimacy. Growth indicators and competitive positioning are not discernible from the website alone.

Security posture

The security maturity level of the website is low to moderate. The domain registration is well-managed with registrar-imposed restrictions preventing unauthorized changes. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers reduces domain and website security. The use of an outdated jQuery version (1.6.4) introduces potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited. No HTTPS/SSL configuration details were provided, which is a critical security concern if HTTPS is not enforced. There are no published security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, indicating limited transparency and preparedness. Data protection practices and GDPR compliance are not addressed. Overall, the security posture requires significant improvements to meet industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Upgrade jQuery and any other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  3. Implement essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance website security.
  4. Ensure HTTPS is properly configured and enforced site-wide to protect data in transit and improve user trust.
  5. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML and uses jQuery 1.6.4 loaded from Google's CDN. There is no evidence of a CMS or modern web frameworks. Hosting appears to be with GoDaddy based on nameservers. The site lacks meta tags beyond a title and favicon, limiting SEO effectiveness. The design is minimalistic with fixed-position elements and basic CSS styling. There are no forms or interactive elements beyond simple JavaScript toggles for content sections. Performance is likely moderate given minimal content but could be improved with modern frontend technologies and responsive design. Accessibility features are minimal, and mobile optimization is basic. The site does not use analytics or tracking scripts, indicating low technical complexity but also limited marketing insights.
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.
