ParaFi is a specialized alternative asset management and technology firm focused on blockchain and digital assets, managing approximately $1.9 billion in assets under management as of mid-2025. Founded in 2018 and headquartered in New York, ParaFi has established itself as an early institutional investor in the blockchain space, offering both liquid and venture investment strategies. The firm also operates a technology division, ParaFi Tech, which develops open infrastructure to support its investment activities. The website reflects a professional and modern digital presence, leveraging a React and Next.js technology stack with Cloudflare hosting and Google Tag Manager for analytics. The site is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and SEO-friendly, providing clear information about the firm's team, portfolio, and research resources. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and domain transfer protections, though improvements such as enabling DNSSEC and publishing a security policy would enhance trust. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. Contact information is limited to a company email address, with no phone number or detailed physical address explicitly provided on the site. Overall, ParaFi presents a credible and professional front consistent with its market position as a leading blockchain investment firm.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

    • 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

  2. 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

ParaFi operates in the finance and technology sectors, focusing on blockchain and digital assets. Its business model combines asset management with proprietary technology development, targeting institutional investors and blockchain ecosystem participants. The firm’s competitive advantage lies in its early market entry, substantial assets under management, and a cross-disciplinary team with expertise in investment and engineering. The presence of a dedicated technology division indicates a strategic emphasis on innovation and infrastructure. The company maintains active social media channels on Twitter (X) and LinkedIn, enhancing its visibility and engagement with stakeholders. The website content and structure suggest a mature organization with a clear growth trajectory and a strong partnership ecosystem, including its technology arm ParaFi Tech.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and domain transfer protection status. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security resilience. No explicit security policy or incident response contact information is published, which could hinder transparency and responsiveness in case of security incidents. The site does not implement a cookie consent mechanism, which may impact GDPR compliance. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of Google Tag Manager for analytics is standard but requires careful configuration to ensure privacy compliance. Overall, the security maturity is solid but could be improved by adopting additional security headers, enabling DNSSEC, and publishing comprehensive security and incident response policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a detailed security policy and provide dedicated incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  3. Implement a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve browser security.
  5. Consider providing additional contact information such as a phone number and physical address to enhance trust and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure which provides performance and security benefits. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and demonstrates fast loading times. SEO best practices are followed with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. The use of Google Tag Manager enables flexible analytics deployment. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom-built solution tailored to the firm's needs. The technical implementation is robust with minimal technical debt visible. Opportunities exist to further enhance security and privacy compliance through additional headers and consent mechanisms.
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.
