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

Interplanetary Shipyard is a small technology company specializing in the maintenance and development of core open-source web3 infrastructure projects such as IPFS and libp2p. The company positions itself as a key contributor to decentralized web technologies, targeting developers and organizations interested in peer-to-peer and distributed storage solutions. The website reflects a professional and modern digital presence built with the Hugo static site generator, leveraging Cloudflare DNS and Plausible Analytics for performance and minimal user tracking. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, though improvements are needed in DNSSEC adoption and security headers. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, representing compliance gaps. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-branded but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security documentation.

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

The company operates in the technology sector focusing on decentralized web3 primitives, serving a niche market of developers and organizations in the blockchain and distributed systems space. Its business model centers on open-source software maintenance and development, likely funded through partnerships or sponsorships. The domain age and website content are consistent with a recently founded entity in 2023. The presence of a Twitter social media link indicates some community engagement. No direct contact information or formal business registration details are publicly available, which may limit direct customer engagement but is common in open-source projects. The company maintains a clean and focused brand identity with consistent messaging about its core services.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and has domain transfer protection enabled, which are positive security indicators. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers were detected in the provided data, which could expose the site to certain attacks. There is no published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism such as a security.txt file. No contact channels for security incidents (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails) were found. The site uses minimal third-party scripts, reducing attack surface, but lacks comprehensive security best practices documentation. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by adopting recommended security headers, DNSSEC, and formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and privacy regulations.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve site security.
  4. Create and publish a security policy and incident response plan, including contact channels for security issues.
  5. Implement and publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.

  3. No contact emails or phone numbers explicitly found on the homepage or metadata.
  4. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure information found.
  5. Uses modern static site generator Hugo and minimal external dependencies.
  6. No signs of adult or questionable content.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Hugo static site generator, which provides fast performance and good mobile optimization. It uses Cloudflare for DNS management, which is a reputable provider, and Plausible Analytics for privacy-focused user tracking. The site includes modern meta tags and Open Graph tags for SEO and social media integration. No CMS or dynamic backend was detected, reducing complexity and attack surface. The site is well-structured with good navigation and branding consistency. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates some technical security debt. The site performs well technically but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and 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.
