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

3 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"

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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.

Breach exposure

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention ipc.space, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for ipc.space right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

IPC positions itself as an innovative solution in the blockchain infrastructure sector, focusing on enabling dApps to scale horizontally by deploying subnets with tailored consensus mechanisms. The business model appears to be centered around providing open-source frameworks and developer tooling, supported by community and ecosystem engagement. The target market includes blockchain developers and enterprises seeking scalable blockchain solutions. The website's use of GitBook and GitHub integration indicates a developer-centric approach. No direct commercial or sales contact information is provided, suggesting a focus on community-driven adoption and technical evangelism. The absence of terms of service and detailed business info limits full business credibility assessment.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response procedures, or vulnerability disclosure programs represents a gap in comprehensive security governance. The cookie consent mechanism and privacy policy indicate awareness of privacy regulations, but more detailed GDPR compliance documentation would strengthen the posture. Overall, the site is secure for visitors but could improve transparency and readiness for security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a clear terms of service document to establish legal boundaries and user expectations.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy page including incident response contacts and procedures.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Provide clear contact information for business and security inquiries to enhance trust.
  5. Enhance privacy policy details to explicitly address GDPR and data retention practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including React and Next.js, hosted on GitBook's platform with Cloudflare CDN support. It uses FontAwesome for icons and integrates Google Analytics for traffic analysis. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good accessibility features and SEO metadata. The content is structured and navigable, supporting a positive user experience. No technical debt or outdated libraries were detected. Opportunities exist to improve technical transparency by exposing security headers details and publishing more comprehensive compliance documentation.
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.
