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

Node Capital is a specialized cryptocurrency venture fund focused on early-stage investments in crypto infrastructure and decentralized protocols. The company emphasizes a thesis-driven approach and provides hands-on technical and tokenomics support to its portfolio projects. It operates subsidiaries such as Node.Monster for network bootstrapping and node.security for blockchain security audits, reinforcing its active role in the ecosystem. The website reflects a professional and modern digital presence with clear business and team information, supporting its market position as a niche crypto investor. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, Three.js for 3D graphics, p5.js for canvas animations, and GSAP for smooth animations. It is hosted likely on Webflow's platform, with good performance and mobile optimization. SEO and accessibility are basic but adequate. Analytics are implemented via Google Tag Manager, indicating moderate user tracking. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration but lacks explicit security headers and published security or incident response policies. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, representing a compliance gap. WHOIS data is privacy protected or unavailable, which is common in the crypto sector and does not raise immediate concerns. Overall, Node Capital's website is trustworthy and professional, with strong business credibility and technical implementation. Improvements in privacy compliance and security policy transparency would enhance its security posture and regulatory alignment.

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

8 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 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 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

    • 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

Node Capital operates in the competitive crypto venture capital space, focusing on seed and A-stage investments in blockchain infrastructure and decentralized protocols. Its competitive advantage lies in its technical expertise and active operational support, including node operation and security auditing subsidiaries. The business model combines financial investment with hands-on technical and governance assistance, differentiating it from purely financial investors. The portfolio includes a diverse set of crypto projects, indicating a broad network and influence. The company targets crypto entrepreneurs, investors, and developers, positioning itself as a trusted partner in the crypto ecosystem. Growth indicators include active blog content and a growing portfolio. Partnerships with subsidiaries like Node.Monster and node.security strengthen its ecosystem presence. The company appears to be small but specialized, with a focus on quality and technical depth rather than scale.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The lack of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which are recommended best practices. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies, which could expose the company to regulatory risks, especially under GDPR. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a marketing website but could be improved by implementing security headers, publishing policies, and enhancing privacy compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance web security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as Three.js for interactive 3D graphics and p5.js for canvas-based animations, indicating a high level of front-end sophistication. GSAP is used for smooth animations enhancing user experience. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and marketing tracking. The site is responsive and performs well on mobile devices. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data, though structured data like JSON-LD is absent. Hosting appears to be Webflow's managed platform, providing reliable uptime and performance. There is no evidence of legacy or vulnerable libraries. The technical implementation is modern and well-executed, supporting a professional digital presence.
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.
