This positions Frax as a significant player in the decentralized finance ecosystem, targeting crypto users, developers, and financial institutions.

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

Frax Finance leverages strong institutional partnerships and a clear focus on stablecoin infrastructure to carve a competitive niche in the DeFi market. Their business model centers on providing a secure, scalable digital dollar and blockchain platform, appealing to a broad audience from retail crypto users to institutional investors. The company’s market position is bolstered by media coverage and endorsements from reputable financial entities. However, the lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers and missing compliance documentation may affect user trust and regulatory standing. The ecosystem approach with native apps and cross-chain liquidity integration indicates strategic growth orientation.

Security posture

Frax.com benefits from HTTPS encryption and domain registration protections that prevent unauthorized changes, reflecting a solid baseline security posture. Nonetheless, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in transparency and preparedness. The absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security resilience. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting comprehensive security documentation and advanced DNS protections.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR and global privacy compliance.
  2. Implement and publicly disclose a security policy and incident response plan with dedicated contact channels.
  3. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen domain name system security.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to improve web security posture.
  5. Provide clear and direct contact information including verified company emails and phone numbers to improve trust and support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs modern web technologies including JavaScript modules, SVG graphics, and CSS variables, indicating a contemporary and responsive design optimized for both desktop and mobile platforms. The presence of video backgrounds and interactive elements further enhances user engagement. While no explicit CMS or hosting provider was identified, the site demonstrates fast performance and good SEO practices. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies, as well as security headers, suggests areas for technical and compliance improvement.
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.
