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

Light Protocol is a technology-focused blockchain project pioneering zero-knowledge compression to scale the Solana blockchain. The protocol enables developers and users to compress on-chain state securely, reducing costs and enabling new computation paradigms. The website reflects a small, innovative technology entity with a strong open-source and developer community orientation. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including Three.js for interactive 3D visuals and is hosted with Cloudflare DNS and CDN services, ensuring good performance and availability. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. Privacy and compliance policies are absent, which is a notable gap. Overall, the website is professional and trustworthy but could improve 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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention lightprotocol.com, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for lightprotocol.com right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

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 positions itself as an innovator in blockchain scalability on Solana, targeting developers and blockchain users interested in zero-knowledge proofs and state compression. Its open-source approach and active presence on GitHub, Discord, and Twitter indicate a community-driven business model. The lack of direct contact information and formal policies suggests a lean startup or early-stage project. The project benefits from partnerships or associations with Helius and Solana ecosystem players. Revenue streams are not explicit but likely revolve around developer adoption and ecosystem growth. The company was founded in 2021, consistent with the domain registration date.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Cloudflare DNS/CDN, providing a solid baseline security posture. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No privacy or cookie policies are published, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which limits transparency and compliance readiness. No forms or user input fields reduce attack surface but also limit user engagement. Overall, security maturity is moderate but could be improved with standard best practices and policy disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve compliance.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with standard HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, leveraging the Three.js library for 3D graphics. It is hosted behind Cloudflare, which provides DNS and CDN services, contributing to fast load times and availability. The site is mobile responsive with good design and navigation clarity. However, it lacks SEO meta tags and structured data, which could improve search engine visibility. No CMS or backend platform is detected, suggesting a static or custom-built site. The absence of forms reduces complexity but also limits data collection capabilities. Overall, the technical implementation is modern and performant but could benefit from enhanced SEO and accessibility 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.
