Risk levelMedium

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

Element Market operates as a prominent NFT marketplace focusing on Layer 2 blockchain networks, primarily Ethereum and its scaling solutions. The platform facilitates buying, selling, and trading of NFTs, targeting crypto enthusiasts, gamers, and collectors. It positions itself as the largest marketplace in its niche, offering additional services such as launchpads and verified creator support. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including React and Redux, and is hosted behind Cloudflare with advanced bot protection via Turnstile CAPTCHA. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and security headers, although some privacy compliance aspects like cookie consent could be improved. The lack of publicly available WHOIS data is typical for crypto-related domains but reduces transparency. Overall, the platform demonstrates a mature digital presence with room for enhancements in privacy and contact transparency.

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. 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 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

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

Element Market's business model centers on NFT marketplace operations with a focus on Layer 2 blockchain scalability. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialization and large user base within the NFT ecosystem. Revenue streams likely include transaction fees and premium services such as launchpads and verification. The target audience includes NFT collectors, crypto traders, and GameFi participants. The platform maintains active partnerships and social media engagement, enhancing its market visibility. Strategic observations suggest a focus on expanding Layer 2 adoption and providing comprehensive NFT trading tools.

Security posture

The website exhibits a robust security posture with enforced HTTPS, Cloudflare WAF protection, and CAPTCHA mechanisms to mitigate automated threats. Security headers are properly configured, contributing to defense-in-depth. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates areas for improvement. Privacy compliance is partial, with privacy and terms pages present but lacking visible cookie consent banners. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the accessible content.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to enhance privacy compliance and user trust.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.
  5. Provide clear and accessible business contact information to strengthen business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React/Redux stack, utilizing asynchronous JavaScript modules and optimized font loading for performance. Hosting is managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security services. Analytics are integrated through Google Analytics and Tag Manager, enabling user behavior tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with some assets preloaded for faster rendering. The presence of Cloudflare Turnstile CAPTCHA indicates proactive bot mitigation but also limits automated content analysis.
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.
