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. 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

The company holds a strong market position as a pioneer in Ethereum wallet services, with a diversified product ecosystem that includes mobile, desktop, and browser extension wallets. Their revenue streams likely include value-added services such as staking and token swaps. The target customer segment is broad within the crypto community, including both novice and experienced users. Partnerships with security platforms like HackenProof and integrations with hardware wallets enhance credibility. The company maintains active engagement through social media and educational resources, supporting growth and community trust.

Security posture

MyEtherWallet demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and a transparent bug bounty program. The emphasis on self-custody and hardware wallet compatibility reduces centralized risk. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of explicit incident response contact details and a security.txt file represents minor gaps. Privacy practices are strong, with no tracking of personal data, but cookie consent mechanisms could be improved to align fully with GDPR requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to enhance privacy compliance and user transparency.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and improve security communication.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email) on the website.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack including Vue.js and Tailwind CSS, ensuring responsive and performant user experiences across devices. The use of modulepreload and prefetch optimizes resource loading. The site is well-structured with semantic HTML and meta tags supporting SEO. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but performance is fast. No CMS detected, indicating a custom or static site approach. Technical risks are minimal, with opportunities for further modernization in privacy and security communication.
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.
