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

Lava Foundation operates the Lava Network, a blockchain infrastructure protocol that enables users and AI agents to access decentralized applications across multiple blockchains by routing traffic to the fastest and most reliable RPC providers. The platform supports over 30 chains with millions of users and billions of RPC calls, positioning itself as a critical multi-chain infrastructure provider in the blockchain ecosystem. Their business model revolves around a permissionless marketplace incentivizing node runners and data providers through blockchain-funded pools, with revenue generated from directing blockchain traffic and staking activities. The company has established partnerships with major blockchain projects and is listed on several centralized exchanges, enhancing its market credibility. Technically, the website is built on Webflow CMS and leverages modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, Klaviyo, and Cloudflare Turnstile for bot protection. The site demonstrates excellent design quality, mobile optimization, and SEO practices, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Hosting is likely via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. Analytics usage is moderate, with tracking scripts for user behavior and marketing. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses bot protection mechanisms but lacks explicit security headers and a dedicated security policy or incident response page. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is partial; while a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service are present, there is no cookie consent mechanism, which is a GDPR compliance gap. Contact information is primarily via social media and forms, with no direct company emails or phone numbers published. Overall, the Lava Network website is professional, trustworthy, and technically sound with a strong business presence in the blockchain infrastructure sector. Security and privacy practices are good but could be enhanced by adding explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and cookie consent mechanisms to improve compliance and user trust.

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

5 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"

    • 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 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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

Lava Foundation is positioned as a key player in blockchain infrastructure, offering a decentralized RPC marketplace that supports a wide range of blockchains and users. Their competitive advantage lies in enabling smaller node runners to participate in the ecosystem through incentive pools, fostering decentralization and redundancy. Revenue streams include fees from blockchain traffic directed through their protocol and staking rewards. The target customers include blockchain developers, node operators, dapp users, and AI agents requiring reliable blockchain access. Growth indicators include partnerships with major chains like NEAR, Starknet, Filecoin, and Axelar, as well as listings on multiple centralized exchanges. The company maintains an active community presence via Discord, Telegram, and forums, supporting ecosystem engagement and feedback. Strategic observations highlight a focus on scalability, decentralization, and multi-chain support as core to their market positioning.

Security posture

The Lava Network website demonstrates a good security maturity level with enforced HTTPS and bot protection via Cloudflare Turnstile. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security represents an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected, indicating sound development practices. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response contact channels limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is partial due to missing cookie consent mechanisms, which could expose the company to regulatory risks under GDPR. The security culture appears proactive with public audits linked, but formalizing vulnerability disclosure and incident response processes would strengthen the posture. Overall, the security risks are moderate and manageable with recommended improvements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact channels for reporting vulnerabilities and incidents.
  3. Deploy a cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing verified company contact emails and phone numbers for support and security inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Klaviyo for marketing automation. Hosting and CDN services are provided by Cloudflare, inferred from the use of Turnstile captcha and CDN URLs, ensuring fast content delivery and bot mitigation. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with good SEO practices including meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is fast with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized images. Technical debt appears low with clean HTML and CSS. Opportunities for modernization include adding progressive web app features and enhancing security headers. Technical risks are minimal but should be monitored with ongoing security audits and compliance updates.
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.
