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

Mintscan is a blockchain explorer and data analytics platform focused on the Cosmos ecosystem, supporting over 63 sovereign blockchains. Operated by COSMOSTATION, it provides users with comprehensive tools including blockchain exploration, wallet portfolio management, staking, swapping, governance participation, and detailed analytics visualizations. The platform targets blockchain users, developers, validators, and crypto investors, positioning itself as a leading service within the Cosmos ecosystem. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies such as Svelte, TailwindCSS, and integrates Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA Enterprise for analytics and security. The site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and uses bot protection mechanisms, but lacks some advanced security headers and visible privacy or cookie policies. Overall, the domain appears legitimate despite the absence of public WHOIS data, likely due to privacy protection, which is common for blockchain-related services.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

Mintscan operates in the blockchain technology sector, specifically within the Cosmos ecosystem. Its business model revolves around providing blockchain data services and analytics to a specialized audience of blockchain participants. The platform's extensive support for multiple blockchains and integration with wallet and staking services indicate diversified revenue streams possibly including API access, staking facilitation, and analytics subscriptions. The presence of related domains such as heartbeat.cosmostation.io suggests a broader ecosystem operated by COSMOSTATION, enhancing its market position. The lack of public contact information and privacy policies may limit trust for some users but is balanced by the platform's technical sophistication and brand consistency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise to mitigate automated abuse, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, it lacks several recommended HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against clickjacking and cross-site scripting attacks. The absence of a public vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file reduces transparency and may hinder coordinated vulnerability reporting. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which could expose the platform to regulatory risks under GDPR or similar frameworks. Incident response contact details are not provided, limiting responsiveness to security incidents.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to enhance regulatory compliance and user trust.
  2. Add essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  3. Establish a public vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and general inquiries to improve transparency and responsiveness.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern frontend technologies, primarily Svelte and TailwindCSS, ensuring a responsive and performant user interface. Integration with Google Fonts and Material Design Icons enhances visual appeal. The use of Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA Enterprise indicates a focus on analytics and security. Performance is moderate with module preloading and asynchronous script loading. No CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly detected. The site structure is well-organized with clear navigation groups and extensive blockchain-related content. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in accessibility and SEO could be made to further optimize the platform.
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.
