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

5 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 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

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Hacken operates in the technology sector focusing on blockchain security auditing services. Its market positioning is that of a trusted security partner for Web3 and crypto projects. The business model is service-oriented, providing security audits and compliance consulting. The company targets blockchain developers, crypto projects, and DeFi platforms. The domain age and registrant information align with the business claims, indicating a stable presence. The company leverages multiple marketing and analytics tools to optimize user engagement and conversion. No direct contact or legal compliance documents are readily visible, which could be improved to enhance credibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Cloudflare DNS, which are positive security indicators. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice for domain security. The site uses Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms and employs multiple tracking and analytics scripts. Security headers are not explicitly visible in the provided content, suggesting potential gaps. There is no public security policy or vulnerability disclosure page, which limits transparency. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security posture is moderate with opportunities for enhancement in DNS security and policy transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy pages to improve GDPR compliance.
  3. Add explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts.
  5. Implement a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to foster trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React and Next.js framework with server-side rendering capabilities. It integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools, including Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, PostHog, and Facebook Pixel. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS, improving performance and security. The performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The site lacks CMS indications, suggesting a custom-built solution. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and DNS configuration are recommended.
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.
