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

4 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 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

  3. 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

Ocean Protocol operates in the technology sector with a focus on blockchain-enabled data marketplaces. Its business model revolves around decentralized data tokenization and AI model monetization, creating new revenue streams for data providers and consumers. The company has cultivated a strong ecosystem with partnerships and community engagement, including active presence on Discord and social media. The domain age and WHOIS data align with the company's founding date, supporting credibility. The platform targets a medium-sized market segment of technology users interested in data privacy and AI innovation. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, reinforcing its market position as a trusted protocol in the decentralized data economy.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers present, including HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. The domain status clientTransferProhibited adds protection against unauthorized transfers. Hosting via Cloudflare provides additional DDoS mitigation and security benefits. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended improvement for DNS security. No security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy is found, which could enhance transparency and incident response readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from formalized security policies and DNSSEC implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing more detailed business and compliance information such as VAT or registration numbers if applicable.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Gatsby, ensuring fast performance and good SEO optimization. Hosting is managed via Cloudflare, providing robust CDN and security features. Analytics are implemented using PostHog and Microsoft Clarity, enabling detailed user behavior tracking while maintaining privacy compliance. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with a clean design and clear navigation. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or static site approach. The technical infrastructure is well-maintained with no critical issues, though enabling DNSSEC and formalizing security policies would further strengthen the technical foundation.
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.
