75/100

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

Otherside.xyz is a web3-enabled metaverse platform developed by Yuga Labs, blending MMORPG mechanics with blockchain technology and NFT integration. The platform targets NFT holders and gamers interested in immersive, interoperable virtual worlds where players own land and characters. The business model leverages ApeCoin as the in-game currency and offers an SDK for creators to build and monetize content. Technically, the site uses modern web frameworks like Next.js and React, with Cloudflare DNS and wallet integrations for user authentication. However, the current website displays a client-side application error, limiting user experience and content accessibility. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and domain locking, but lacks DNSSEC and security.txt disclosures. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, impacting compliance. Overall, the site is moderately professional but requires fixes to improve user trust and compliance.

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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

The project is positioned as an innovative metaverse with strong ties to leading NFT communities such as Bored Ape Yacht Club and Mutant Apes. Its competitive advantage lies in combining large-scale multiplayer gaming with blockchain ownership and interoperability. Revenue streams include land sales (Otherdeeds), marketplace transactions, and SDK-based content creation. The target audience is primarily NFT holders and web3 gamers. Partnerships with ApeCoin and wallet providers enhance ecosystem integration. Growth indicators include a large planned user base and advanced technology partnerships. Strategic observations highlight the need for improved compliance and user experience to sustain growth.

Security posture

The security maturity is moderate. The domain is secured with HTTPS and domain transfer/update/delete protections, indicating good baseline security. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security.txt reduces defense-in-depth and vulnerability disclosure readiness. The visible client-side error may expose internal states or reduce trust. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response contacts are not found, limiting responsiveness to security events. Overall, the security posture requires enhancements in policy transparency, DNS security, and error handling.

Recommendations

  1. Fix client-side application errors to restore full website functionality and user experience.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  3. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  4. Publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve incident response and transparency.
  5. Add security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to harden the web application.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React and Next.js framework, indicating a contemporary technical infrastructure. Hosting is supported by Cloudflare DNS, providing reliable domain resolution. Wallet integrations for MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, and WalletConnect demonstrate advanced Web3 capabilities. Performance is moderate, with mobile optimization and basic accessibility features present. SEO is basic with meta tags and Open Graph data but lacks structured data like JSON-LD. The client-side error suggests incomplete deployment or runtime issues, which should be addressed to avoid user disruption. No CMS detected, indicating a custom or static site approach.
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.
