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

Glue is a blockchain technology company focused on building an accessible, secure, and user-friendly blockchain ecosystem. Their platform includes a cross-chain Layer 1 blockchain, three interconnected Layer 2 blockchains, and the Glue Hub, a flagship product that combines the ease of centralized exchanges with the security of onchain decentralized applications. The company targets both crypto enthusiasts and mainstream users aiming to onboard the next 100 million users to blockchain technology. Their market position is that of an emerging player emphasizing security and user experience, supported by partnerships with reputable blockchain projects and a comprehensive security audit by Hashlock. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries such as Tiny Slider and tracking tools like Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, though some accessibility features are basic. The hosting and domain registration are consistent with a legitimate business, with a domain age of over 23 years. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections but lacks DNSSEC and visible security headers. There is no published privacy policy, cookie policy, or terms of service, which are compliance gaps. The site collects user emails via a subscription form but does not provide direct contact emails or phone numbers. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is published, limiting transparency in security matters. Overall, Glue presents a professional and trustworthy blockchain project with strong technical foundations and partnerships. However, improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and incident response transparency are recommended to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

10 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

Glue operates in the blockchain technology sector, focusing on DeFi and user-friendly blockchain infrastructure. Their business model revolves around providing blockchain services and a trading hub that mimics centralized exchange convenience with onchain security. Revenue streams likely include token sales, transaction fees, and partnerships. The company targets crypto users ranging from beginners to professionals, aiming for mass adoption. Their partnership ecosystem includes LayerZero, Avalanche, Banxa, and others, indicating strategic alliances to enhance interoperability and service offerings. The presence of a detailed roadmap and token distribution transparency suggests a well-planned growth strategy. The team includes recognized experts with strong backgrounds in cybersecurity and ad-tech, supporting credibility and operational strength.

Security posture

The security posture of the website and associated services is moderate. The Glue blockchain has undergone a comprehensive audit by Hashlock, a leading smart contract security firm, which is a strong positive indicator. The website uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections but lacks DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options. No privacy or cookie policies are published, which is a compliance and security transparency gap. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information, and no security.txt file is found. The site uses tracking scripts and collects user emails via a subscription form but does not provide direct security contact channels. Overall, while the blockchain project emphasizes security, the website could improve its security posture by implementing recommended headers, policies, and disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Implement security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  4. Publish terms of service and incident response contact information, including a security.txt file.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing direct contact emails for security and abuse reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with modern front-end libraries such as Tiny Slider for carousels and uses Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity for analytics and user behavior tracking. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and uses AddToAny for social sharing. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but the domain registrar is NameCheap, Inc. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site uses asynchronous loading for scripts to improve performance. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries in the provided data. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional user experience but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance implementations.
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.
