Risk levelMedium

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

Eigen Foundation is a newly established technology foundation focused on building a coordination engine for open innovation, leveraging blockchain technology and its native token EIGEN. The website presents a professional and modern interface built on Next.js, hosted via Cloudflare, with good performance and mobile optimization. Legal documentation including privacy policy, terms of service, and disclosures are well published on a dedicated documentation subdomain, supporting transparency and compliance. However, direct contact information and explicit security policies are not present on the main site, which limits user trust and incident response readiness. The domain registration is recent but consistent with a startup foundation, with privacy protection justified for this sector. Overall, the site is secure with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms but could improve security posture by enabling DNSSEC and publishing security policies.

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

5 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 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 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

  3. 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

Eigen Foundation positions itself as an emerging player in the blockchain and open innovation space, targeting developers and blockchain communities. Its business model revolves around token distribution and staking, supported by comprehensive documentation and community engagement via blogs. The foundation operates from the British Virgin Islands, a common jurisdiction for blockchain entities, and maintains a consistent brand presence. The lack of direct contact details and certifications suggests a small but focused organization in early growth stages. The use of Cloudflare for DNS and registrar services indicates a preference for reliable infrastructure. The foundation's ecosystem includes external documentation and blog domains, but no identified partners or subsidiaries.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Cloudflare registrar with clientTransferProhibited status, which are positive security indicators. Cookie consent is implemented, and analytics scripts are loaded with integrity attributes. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers (such as CSP, HSTS), and a published security policy or incident response contact reduces the overall security maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site lacks a security.txt file, which is recommended for vulnerability disclosure. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be improved by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement standard security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Add a security.txt file at the root domain to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Provide verified contact information such as a security or abuse email to improve trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Next.js React framework, leveraging modern JavaScript and CSS with preloading optimizations for fonts and stylesheets. Hosting and DNS are managed by Cloudflare, ensuring fast and reliable delivery. Google Tag Manager and Markfi analytics are used for tracking, with cookie consent mechanisms in place. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom-built solution. Performance is fast with deferred script loading. Accessibility is basic but could be enhanced. The technical stack is modern and well implemented, with minor improvements possible in security headers and DNS configuration.
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.
