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

The Interchain Builders Program, operated by Binary Builders AG, is a specialized support initiative aimed at assisting Cosmos blockchain builders, including enterprises, Web3 startups, and digital innovators. The program offers technical guidance, ecosystem partnership introductions, and business strategy consulting to help projects reach mainnet launch and beyond. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and clear navigation, targeting a technology-savvy audience within the blockchain ecosystem. The business operates from Switzerland and is supported by the Interchain Foundation, enhancing its credibility within the blockchain community. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Astro framework and HubSpot for marketing and analytics. Google Analytics is used for user tracking, indicating moderate data collection practices. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Security posture is good with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure, but lacks some recommended security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies. From a security perspective, the site shows a mature approach with no detected vulnerabilities or malicious content. However, it lacks publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are important for transparency and trust in the blockchain space. The WHOIS data is privacy-protected, which is common and justified for this business type, though it limits direct registrant verification. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional front for a niche blockchain support program. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security transparency, and incident response readiness would enhance trust and security posture further.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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 Interchain Builders Program occupies a niche position within the blockchain ecosystem, focusing on the Cosmos network. Its competitive advantage lies in direct access to core developers, ecosystem partnerships, and tailored business strategy support. The business model is service-oriented, providing guidance rather than direct product sales. Revenue streams likely include consulting and partnership facilitation. Target customers are enterprises, startups, and digital innovators interested in blockchain integration. Growth indicators include ecosystem support from the Interchain Foundation and active engagement with Cosmos network stakeholders. The partnership ecosystem includes Cosmos Network, Interchain Foundation, and Binary Builders AG. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear messaging and strategic alignment to blockchain innovation.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive information. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. There is no visible privacy policy or cookie consent mechanism, which may impact GDPR compliance. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not provided, limiting transparency and preparedness communication. The use of HubSpot and Google Analytics introduces third-party tracking, which should be managed carefully to ensure privacy compliance. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in policy transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and prominently display a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and provide clear security contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Review third-party tracking scripts to ensure minimal data collection and compliance with privacy regulations.
  5. Regularly audit and update website security posture and privacy practices to maintain high trust and compliance standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using the Astro framework (v5.1.7), which supports modern, performant static site generation. HubSpot is integrated for marketing automation, forms, and analytics, alongside Google Analytics for user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO meta tags. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and better keyboard navigation support. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. The technical stack is modern and appropriate for the business use case, with opportunities to enhance security headers and privacy features.
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.
