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. 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 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 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

Pantera Capital holds a strong market position as a first mover in blockchain-focused institutional investment funds. Its business model centers on managing multiple fund strategies that provide exposure to blockchain companies and digital assets. The firm targets institutional and accredited investors seeking specialized blockchain investment opportunities. The website's integration with investor portals and career subdomains indicates a mature operational structure. Marketing and analytics integrations suggest active engagement with its audience and data-driven decision-making. The absence of explicit security policies and incident response information indicates areas for maturity improvement. The domain's long history and consistent WHOIS data reinforce the firm's legitimacy.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong domain status protections, indicating good baseline security. Cookie consent and privacy policies align with GDPR requirements, reflecting compliance awareness. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose DNS to spoofing risks. No explicit security policy or incident response pages were found, which limits transparency on security governance. The use of third-party marketing and analytics scripts introduces moderate tracking but is managed with user consent. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by enabling DNSSEC, publishing security policies, and adding security.txt for vulnerability disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining frameworks and controls.
  3. Add a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO for optimization. Hosting is via Amazon AWS, providing reliable infrastructure. The site uses multiple JavaScript libraries and marketing tools including HubSpot, Google Analytics, and LinkedIn Insight for analytics and user engagement. Performance is moderate with video backgrounds and rich media content, balanced by responsive design for mobile devices. The site shows good SEO practices with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Technical debt appears low, but enabling DNSSEC and additional security headers would reduce risk. The site is well maintained with up-to-date plugins and scripts.
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.
