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

The website www.erc7786.org presents a technical and developer-focused resource for the ERC-7786 standard, a proposed crosschain messaging gateway aimed at enhancing interoperability across Ethereum and other blockchains. The initiative is led by OpenZeppelin with support from Axelar Network, targeting developers and blockchain ecosystem participants. The site content is well-structured, informative, and uses modern web technologies, providing a good user experience and clear navigation. However, the absence of privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, as well as lack of explicit contact information, limits its compliance and trustworthiness from a security and privacy perspective. The WHOIS data is unavailable or malformed, which reduces confidence in domain legitimacy despite the reputable branding and external references. Overall, the site is technically sound but would benefit from improved security headers, privacy compliance, and 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

6 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 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

    • 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

ERC-7786.org serves as a niche technical standard resource within the blockchain interoperability sector, positioning itself as a collaborative open standard backed by recognized entities like OpenZeppelin and Axelar Network. The business model revolves around ecosystem development and standardization rather than direct commercial services. The target audience includes blockchain developers and projects seeking crosschain messaging solutions. The site leverages partnerships and community engagement via GitHub and Telegram. While the site lacks direct revenue or commercial indicators, its strategic value lies in fostering interoperability standards that could underpin future blockchain infrastructure and applications.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS implied but no explicit security headers detected in the HTML content. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries, but the lack of privacy and cookie policies, incident response contacts, and security.txt file indicates gaps in compliance and incident readiness. The absence of WHOIS transparency further impacts trust. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were found, but improvements in security best practices and compliance documentation are recommended to enhance the security maturity and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish explicit contact information including security incident response channels and consider a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Improve WHOIS data transparency or use a registrar that provides complete WHOIS information to enhance domain trustworthiness.
  5. Enhance analytics and tracking transparency to align with privacy best practices and user expectations.

  3. No contact emails or phone numbers explicitly provided.
  4. No security headers or explicit security policies detected in the HTML content.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks, likely React, with modular scripts and SVG graphics for a responsive and visually appealing interface. The technical implementation shows good SEO and accessibility practices, with meta tags for Open Graph and Twitter cards. Performance is moderate with no obvious broken elements. However, the site lacks explicit CMS identification and hosting provider details. The absence of security headers and privacy compliance features represents technical debt that should be addressed to improve overall site robustness and compliance.
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.
