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

Obsidian Finance operates as a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform primarily focused on the Cronos blockchain ecosystem, offering a smart DEX aggregator alongside services such as swapping, staking, farming, launchpad, NFT lending, and community engagement. The platform targets crypto traders, DeFi users, and blockchain investors, positioning itself as a multi-chain DeFi ecosystem with a comprehensive suite of financial services. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and navigation, though it lacks some standard compliance pages and explicit contact information. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, with integration of Google Fonts and Google Analytics for tracking. The platform demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, though accessibility features are basic. The use of HTTPS ensures secure communication, but the absence of security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies indicates room for improvement in security posture and privacy compliance. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data in its HTML content. However, it lacks visible security headers, vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, and incident response contact information. The WHOIS data is privacy-protected and limited, which is common in the DeFi space but reduces transparency. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and no adult or explicit content is present, making the site safe for general audiences. Overall, Obsidian Finance presents a solid DeFi platform with a good technical foundation and user experience but requires enhancements in privacy compliance, security best practices, and transparency to improve trust and regulatory adherence.

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

7 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

Obsidian Finance is positioned as an important player in the decentralized finance sector, focusing on the Cronos blockchain and zkCronos. Its business model revolves around providing a multi-service DeFi ecosystem including DEX aggregation, staking, farming, launchpad, and NFT lending. The platform targets crypto enthusiasts and investors seeking efficient trading and earning opportunities. The presence of a wiki and active Discord community suggests an engaged user base and commitment to education and support. However, the lack of public company registration details and contact information may limit institutional trust. The platform leverages modern web technologies and integrates analytics for user insights, indicating a data-driven approach. Strategic partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data, suggesting a standalone operation or early-stage ecosystem development.

Security posture

The security posture of Obsidian Finance is moderate. The website enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, and avoids exposing sensitive data in its HTML. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. There is no visible vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file, which are best practices for incident reporting and transparency. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. No contact channels for security incidents or abuse were found, which could delay incident response. The use of Google Analytics without clear privacy compliance mechanisms further highlights privacy risks. Overall, while the platform demonstrates basic security hygiene, it should enhance its security framework and compliance posture to build greater trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information for security incidents, abuse reports, and general inquiries to improve transparency and incident response.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and comply with accessibility standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring React and Next.js, enabling server-side rendering and improved performance. It uses Google Fonts for typography and integrates Google Analytics for user behavior tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good navigation clarity. However, the absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or static site approach. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by the number of JavaScript chunks loaded. There is no explicit hosting provider identified from the HTML content. The site lacks advanced accessibility features and some SEO optimizations could be improved by adding structured data or more comprehensive meta tags. Overall, the technical implementation supports a good user experience but has opportunities for modernization and enhanced security.
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.
