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

OpenOcean Global operates as a leading decentralized finance (DeFi) aggregator, providing users with optimized swap returns by aggregating liquidity from over 1000 sources across more than 30 blockchains. Their platform offers a comprehensive suite of services including token swaps, limit orders, dollar cost averaging, cross-chain swaps, farming, staking, and developer APIs. The company is well-positioned in the DeFi market with backing from prominent investors such as Binance Labs and Multicoin Capital, indicating strong market credibility and growth potential. Technically, OpenOcean employs modern web technologies including Vue.js and JavaScript frameworks, supported by Cloudflare for performance and security. The website is well-optimized for mobile and desktop, with fast loading times and good SEO practices. Their technical infrastructure supports a seamless user experience and developer integration through APIs and SDKs. From a security perspective, OpenOcean demonstrates a mature posture with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and publicly available audit documentation. However, minor gaps exist such as the absence of a cookie consent mechanism and vulnerability disclosure policy. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is common in the crypto space and justified given the business nature. Overall, OpenOcean presents a low-risk profile with strong business credibility, technical robustness, and a secure platform. Strategic recommendations include enhancing privacy compliance with explicit cookie consent, publishing incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies, and improving transparency where possible to further strengthen trust.

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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

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

OpenOcean holds a strong market position as a multi-chain DeFi aggregator, leveraging extensive liquidity sources to offer competitive swap prices and advanced trading tools. Their business model focuses on providing decentralized trading solutions with value-added services like farming, staking, and governance participation. Revenue streams likely include fees from swaps, yield farming, and API usage. The target customers are crypto traders, DeFi users, and developers seeking integrated liquidity and trading infrastructure. The company benefits from a robust partnership ecosystem with leading crypto investors and projects, enhancing its market reach and credibility. Growth indicators include new product launches such as perpetual futures and developer tools, signaling ongoing innovation and expansion.

Security posture

OpenOcean exhibits a strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. The availability of security and audit documentation reflects a commitment to transparency and risk management. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. However, the absence of a formal vulnerability disclosure program and incident response contact channels represents an area for improvement. Data protection practices appear adequate, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which may impact GDPR compliance. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but could benefit from formalizing incident response and disclosure policies to enhance resilience and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a clear cookie policy with user consent mechanisms to improve privacy compliance.
  2. Publish a formal vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  3. Establish and publicize incident response contact channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to further improve user experience for all users.
  5. Maintain regular security audits and update documentation to reflect ongoing security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Vue.js framework with modern JavaScript and CSS technologies, ensuring a responsive and performant user interface. Hosting appears to leverage Cloudflare services for CDN, security, and analytics. The site uses Swiper.js for interactive UI components and integrates Google Analytics for user behavior tracking. The technical implementation is robust with good SEO and accessibility considerations. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or static site architecture. Performance is fast with prefetching and preloading of assets. Opportunities exist to improve privacy compliance and formalize security communication channels.
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.
