The company targets blockchain developers and crypto projects seeking scalable and performant blockchain infrastructure. Technically, the website is built on modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, Google Fonts, Lottie animations, and integrates Google Analytics with a consent mechanism. The site is mobile optimized and performs well with good SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure, though explicit security headers and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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 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

Monad positions itself as a cutting-edge blockchain platform offering extreme throughput and decentralization, aiming to solve the blockchain trilemma. Their business model revolves around providing blockchain infrastructure and developer ecosystem support. The presence of multiple ecosystem and developer programs indicates a growth-oriented strategy focused on community and developer engagement. External links to related domains such as the Monad Foundation suggest a partnership ecosystem supporting the protocol's adoption. The company appears to be a small but focused technology startup with a clear niche in the blockchain industry.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and use of consent mechanisms for analytics. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The lack of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page reduces transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a technology startup but could be enhanced to meet higher compliance and trust standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security and incident response contacts.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS with modern front-end technologies including Lottie animations and HTML5 video. It uses Google Fonts and integrates Google Analytics with a cookie consent mechanism. Hosting is provided by Webflow, ensuring good performance and mobile responsiveness. The site structure and meta tags support SEO optimization. However, there is room for improvement in accessibility and explicit security configurations. The technical stack is appropriate for a technology startup aiming for a professional online presence with interactive and engaging content.
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.
