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

Layer3 is a medium-sized technology and finance company specializing in onchain finance solutions through a comprehensive web platform. It offers a smart wallet, curated activations, staking, rewards, and community-building tools, serving over 3 million users across 40+ blockchain networks. The platform is trusted by major protocols such as Optimism, Arbitrum, Robinhood, and Base, and backed by leading investors, indicating a strong market position and growth potential. Technically, Layer3 employs a modern web stack including React and Next.js, hosted with Cloudflare DNS and CDN services, ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. The site uses Google Analytics and Verisoul AI for analytics and user engagement. Security best practices are observed with HTTPS, security headers, and sandboxed iframes, though DNSSEC is not enabled and explicit security policies are not published. The security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data, but the absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contacts represents an area for improvement. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service, but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. Overall, Layer3 presents a professional, trustworthy, and technically mature platform with a strong business model in the crypto finance sector. Strategic enhancements in security transparency and privacy compliance would further strengthen its risk profile 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

6 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 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

Layer3 operates in the competitive onchain finance and DeFi ecosystem, leveraging a platform model that incentivizes user engagement through activations, rewards, and staking. Its partnerships with top blockchain protocols and backing by prominent investors provide competitive advantages and credibility. The business targets crypto users and developers seeking integrated wallet and finance solutions, with revenue likely derived from platform services, token staking, and business partnerships. Growth indicators include a large user base, extensive transaction volume, and multi-chain support. The company also offers a no-code builder platform to empower community-driven activations, expanding its ecosystem and user-generated content. Strategically, Layer3 benefits from a diversified service offering and strong branding, positioning itself as a gateway to onchain finance. Its investor and partner ecosystem supports scalability and innovation. However, the lack of publicly available contact information and security policies may limit enterprise adoption and regulatory compliance in some jurisdictions.

Security posture

Layer3 demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, comprehensive security headers, and sandboxed third-party integrations. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap that could be addressed to enhance DNS security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the website does not publish explicit security policies, incident response procedures, or vulnerability disclosure programs, which are important for transparency and trust, especially in the finance sector. Privacy compliance is supported by a detailed privacy policy and terms of service, but the lack of a cookie consent mechanism may pose GDPR compliance risks. The platform uses third-party analytics and tracking services, which should be managed carefully to protect user privacy. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be improved by publishing incident response contacts, security policies, and implementing DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Add explicit security incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to ensure full GDPR compliance and user privacy control.
  5. Regularly review third-party scripts and tracking services to minimize privacy risks and maintain compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework, leveraging server-side rendering for performance and SEO benefits. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security features. The site includes integrations with Google Analytics for user behavior tracking and Verisoul AI for advanced analytics or verification services. The design is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with accessibility considerations evident in the markup. Performance appears fast with preloaded CSS and deferred JavaScript loading. The use of sandboxed iframes for authentication enhances security. There is no evidence of a traditional CMS, indicating a custom or proprietary content management approach. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust, scalable, and aligned with best practices for modern web applications.
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.
