Hex Trust is a regulated institutional digital asset service provider specializing in custody, staking, and markets services tailored for builders, investors, and service providers in the blockchain and cryptocurrency space. The company positions itself as a leader in digital asset solutions, emphasizing regulatory compliance and institutional-grade security. Their platform supports a broad range of blockchain protocols and assets, reflecting a comprehensive service offering for institutional clients. Technically, Hex Trust leverages modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and advanced bot protection via Google reCAPTCHA and Cloudflare Turnstile. The website is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. The presence of cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies demonstrates attention to privacy compliance. From a security perspective, Hex Trust exhibits strong controls evidenced by SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type II certifications and multiple regulatory licenses across key jurisdictions such as Dubai, Hong Kong, Singapore, Italy, and France. However, the absence of explicit security headers and a dedicated security policy or incident response page suggests areas for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, Hex Trust presents a high level of business credibility and trustworthiness, supported by strong partnerships and client testimonials. The lack of WHOIS data is a minor concern but is mitigated by the company's transparent regulatory and certification disclosures. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security header implementation, publishing a formal security policy, and establishing a vulnerability disclosure program to further strengthen trust and security posture.

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.

Priority findings

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 22 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

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

Hex Trust operates in the institutional digital asset custody and services sector, targeting financial institutions, protocols, and foundations. Their business model revolves around providing regulated custody, staking, and market services, positioning themselves as a bridge between traditional finance and the digital asset ecosystem. The company benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem including major blockchain projects and financial technology firms, which enhances their market credibility and reach. Growth indicators include recent strategic investments and expansions into new blockchain protocols. Their revenue streams likely derive from custody fees, staking services, and OTC market operations. Hex Trust's competitive advantage lies in its regulatory compliance, institutional-grade security certifications, and broad asset support.

Security posture

Hex Trust demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of reCAPTCHA for form protection, and SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type II certifications indicating robust internal controls. The company maintains regulatory licenses in multiple jurisdictions, underscoring compliance rigor. However, the website lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are recommended best practices. No direct security contact or incident response information is published, and no vulnerability disclosure program is evident. Data protection practices appear sound with cookie consent and privacy policy compliance. Overall, the security maturity is high but could be enhanced by formalizing security policies and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Provide direct security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and Google services for analytics and tag management. Performance is optimized with asynchronous script loading and CDN usage. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed. The use of Cloudflare Turnstile and Google reCAPTCHA enhances bot protection. However, the absence of explicit security headers and limited visible server-side security configurations suggest opportunities for technical hardening. The technical stack supports scalability and interoperability, aligning with the company's institutional service offerings.
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.
