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

4 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 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 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

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

IRISnet operates in the blockchain technology sector, providing essential infrastructure for interchain decentralized applications. Its business model revolves around enabling interoperability and service integration across heterogeneous blockchain systems and legacy infrastructures. The project benefits from a robust partnership ecosystem including strategic and ecosystem partners such as Interchain Foundation, Tendermint, Binance, and CertiK, which enhances its market credibility and reach. The platform's offerings like LSM support, native token ERC20 binding, and TIBC protocol position it competitively within the Cosmos ecosystem. The target customers are blockchain developers, enterprises, and validators seeking scalable and interoperable blockchain solutions. The presence of staking and governance features indicates a community-driven approach. Growth indicators include recent upgrades and active content updates. The company maintains a medium-sized digital footprint with consistent branding and high-quality content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security maturity level with mandatory HTTPS encryption and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to protect forms from automated abuse. However, explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not visibly implemented, representing an area for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, supporting data protection practices. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be improved by adopting additional HTTP security headers and publishing incident response information to strengthen trust and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program, including a security.txt file, to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance cookie policy with explicit consent mechanisms to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using VuePress 2.0.0-rc.24, a modern static site generator based on Vue.js, indicating a contemporary and maintainable technical stack. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google reCAPTCHA for analytics and bot protection respectively. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with preloading and prefetching of assets to improve load times. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph tags, and structured content. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available, but the use of HTTPS and Google services suggests a reliable hosting environment. Technical risks are minimal, though the absence of some security headers and incident response info could pose operational risks. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable web presence aligned with the business goals.
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.
