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

Metapool is a newly established cryptocurrency wallet and exchange platform founded in 2023, targeting a global audience with services including decentralized wallets, crypto trading, and 24/7 customer support. The platform emphasizes security features such as two-factor authentication and asset protection funds, positioning itself as a trusted player in the crypto finance sector. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including React, Bootstrap, and Web3.js, hosted on Namecheap infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized with good design and user experience but lacks some advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, and no vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are published. Privacy compliance is partial with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced security and compliance measures to improve trust and regulatory adherence.

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

7 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 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

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

Metapool operates in the finance and technology sectors, focusing on cryptocurrency wallet and exchange services. Its business model revolves around providing secure crypto asset management and trading capabilities to users worldwide. The platform claims usage in over 150 countries and highlights quarterly trading volumes and popular trading pairs, indicating active market engagement. The company leverages partnerships with known domains like binance.com for reference and uses live chat support via JivoSite. The lack of visible contact information and privacy-protected WHOIS data is typical in crypto businesses for security reasons. Growth potential exists given the expanding crypto market, but establishing clearer trust signals and compliance documentation would strengthen market position.

Security posture

The security maturity level of Metapool is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and domain transfer is locked, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as CSP and HSTS reduces the overall security posture. No explicit vulnerability disclosure or incident response contacts are provided, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. The platform mentions two-factor authentication and a secure asset fund, which are good practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Compliance with GDPR is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the security culture appears emerging but requires enhancements to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Add explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  5. Introduce a cookie policy and consent mechanism to improve privacy compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack with React framework, Bootstrap for styling, slick-carousel for UI components, and Web3.js for blockchain interactions. Hosting is provided via Namecheap, with DNS managed by Namecheap hosting name servers. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and preconnect hints for Google Fonts. Mobile optimization is good with responsive meta tags and adaptive UI elements. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA roles implied but no explicit accessibility features detected. SEO is basic with meta description and title tags but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data found. Technical debt appears low but could be improved by adding structured data and enhancing accessibility compliance.
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.
