Framework Ventures is a San Francisco-based crypto-native venture capital firm specializing in early-stage investments in DeFi, stablecoins, AI, and blockchain infrastructure. The firm positions itself as a high-conviction investor with check sizes ranging from $250k to $40 million, targeting innovative founders in the crypto space. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, supported by press mentions in reputable media such as CNBC and Bloomberg. Technically, the site is built on Webflow CMS with modern JavaScript and CSS, delivering fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS implied, but lacks explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms.

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

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.

Missing X-Frame-Options header
Prevents clickjacking attacks
What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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.

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.

Business context
Business profile
Framework Ventures operates in the competitive crypto venture capital market, leveraging its niche focus on blockchain and DeFi technologies to differentiate itself. The firm’s business model centers on early-stage investments and partnership with founders, supported by significant capital deployment capabilities. The presence of press coverage and a dedicated jobs portal indicates growth and active market engagement. The firm targets crypto startups and investors, positioning itself as a trusted partner in the blockchain ecosystem. The website’s clean design and clear navigation support user engagement, though the absence of direct contact emails and phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication channels via forms.
Security posture
The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications, but lacks visible security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is present, limiting transparency for security researchers. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms may pose compliance risks under GDPR or similar regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, indicating potential areas for improvement in security governance and transparency.
Recommendations
Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen web security.
Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve privacy compliance and user transparency.
Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from vulnerable libraries.

Technical notes
Notes
The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern front-end technologies including JavaScript and jQuery 3.5.1. It is hosted on Webflow’s CDN infrastructure, contributing to fast load times and excellent mobile responsiveness. The site includes well-structured meta tags and Open Graph data for SEO and social sharing. No JSON-LD structured data was detected. The absence of explicit security headers and cookie consent mechanisms represents technical debt in security and privacy compliance. The site’s navigation is clear and user-friendly, with no broken links or errors observed. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional online presence but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
