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

Mina Protocol operates as a technology company specializing in blockchain infrastructure, particularly focusing on lightweight, scalable, and privacy-preserving decentralized applications using zero-knowledge proofs. The company positions itself as an innovative player in the blockchain space, targeting developers and enterprises seeking secure and efficient blockchain solutions. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive developer resources, community engagement, and ecosystem exploration tools. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins and integrations such as Gravity Forms, Google Tag Manager, and Cloudflare CDN, ensuring good performance, mobile optimization, and accessibility. The presence of advanced cookie consent management and privacy policies indicates a strong commitment to GDPR compliance and user privacy. From a security perspective, the site employs HTTPS with excellent SSL configuration, uses Wordfence for protection, and implements cookie consent opt-out mechanisms. However, some standard security headers are not explicitly detected, and DNSSEC is not enabled, which could be improved. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. Overall, the website and domain registration data suggest a trustworthy and professional organization with a solid security posture and compliance awareness. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing explicit security and incident response policies to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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

3 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 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. 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

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Unregistered MX Record

      MX record points to unregistered domain: biwvqpn3uzpl4nvma725jmhczbogc2odvbpbmmheik3wg2il25pa.mx-verification.google.com

      What to do: Remove or fix MX record pointing to unregistered domain

      • RFC 5321 §5.1
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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

Mina Protocol is positioned as a specialized blockchain platform leveraging zero-knowledge proofs to offer a lightweight and scalable infrastructure for decentralized applications. Its business model revolves around providing developer tools, grants, and network participation guidance, targeting blockchain developers and enterprises. The company demonstrates growth through ecosystem partnerships and active community engagement. Revenue streams likely include developer grants, ecosystem services, and potential enterprise solutions. The website's integration with major analytics and marketing tools reflects a data-driven approach to growth and user engagement.

Security posture

The security maturity of Mina Protocol's website is solid, with HTTPS enforced, use of Wordfence security plugin, and comprehensive cookie consent management. The absence of DNSSEC and some common security headers suggests room for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is well addressed with GDPR-aligned policies and opt-out mechanisms. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly available, which could be a gap in transparency and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible to users and partners.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern WordPress CMS with a well-structured theme and plugins including Gravity Forms for data collection, Yoast SEO for optimization, and Real Cookie Banner Pro for privacy compliance. Hosting and CDN services are provided by Cloudflare, ensuring fast content delivery and DDoS protection. Performance optimizations include NitroPack caching and asynchronous script loading. Accessibility features are implemented via third-party tools. The technical stack is robust and supports scalability, though some security enhancements are recommended.
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.
