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

Node.Monster is a reputable blockchain infrastructure provider specializing in secure and scalable node operations, validator services, and staking support across multiple blockchain networks. With over a decade of experience and significant assets under management, the company positions itself as a trusted partner in the crypto ecosystem, supporting decentralization and community growth through initiatives like Quick Grants. The website reflects a professional and modern digital presence built on Webflow, integrating advanced web technologies and security measures such as Cloudflare Turnstile captcha for form protection. However, the absence of explicit privacy, cookie, and security policies indicates areas for compliance improvement. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and secure form handling, but could benefit from enhanced security headers and published incident response contacts. Overall, Node.Monster demonstrates a mature business and technical infrastructure with high trustworthiness and a clear focus on blockchain node 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.

Priority findings

6 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 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: LinkedIn, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

Node.Monster operates in the blockchain technology sector, targeting blockchain projects, validators, and staking participants. Their business model revolves around providing node operation services, liquid staking support, white label solutions, and advisory. The company leverages partnerships with notable blockchain projects and staking platforms, enhancing its market position. The presence of testimonials from industry leaders and a group company relationship with Node.Capital further strengthen its credibility. The company appears medium-sized with a global operational footprint, emphasizing uptime and security through institutional-grade data centers and cloud providers. The business shows growth potential through ecosystem participation and community engagement via Quick Grants.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration and uses Cloudflare Turnstile captcha to secure its contact form, indicating good security hygiene. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents a missed opportunity to harden security further. No published security policies or incident response contacts were found, which could impact transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is limited due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with additional policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement and configure security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve security posture.
  3. Provide explicit incident response and security contact information on the website.
  4. Add direct company contact emails and phone numbers to improve accessibility and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party integrations and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS, leveraging modern web fonts and JavaScript libraries such as Tippy.js for tooltips and Rive for animations. Hosting is via Webflow's CDN, ensuring good performance and availability. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and clear navigation. The use of Cloudflare Turnstile captcha enhances form security. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times and resource management. Overall, the technical implementation is modern and stable, supporting the business goals effectively.
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.
