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

Particle Network is a technology company specializing in blockchain infrastructure, focusing on chain abstraction through Universal Accounts to solve user and liquidity fragmentation in Web3 ecosystems. The company positions itself as an innovative provider enabling seamless cross-chain transactions and user experiences, supported by a comprehensive ecosystem including staking and a native Particle Chain. The website reflects a modern, professional digital presence with multimedia content, active social media engagement, and accessible legal policies. Technically, the site is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though improvements are recommended in security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. WHOIS data is limited due to privacy protection, common in blockchain domains, but the overall legitimacy is supported by the website content and ecosystem presence. Strategic recommendations include enhancing privacy compliance, publishing explicit security policies, and improving contact transparency to strengthen 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

5 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 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

  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

Particle Network operates in the blockchain technology sector, targeting developers and users seeking cross-chain interoperability and simplified user experiences. Its business model revolves around providing modular blockchain infrastructure services such as Universal Accounts, Universal Liquidity, and Universal Gas, positioning itself as a key enabler in the Web3 space. The company maintains an active partnership and community ecosystem, evidenced by social media and staking programs. Revenue streams likely include token staking and developer platform services. The company demonstrates growth potential through continuous content updates and ecosystem expansion. The lack of direct contact information on the website suggests a focus on digital engagement channels like Discord and Twitter for community and support.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and no exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder rapid response to security events. Privacy compliance is partially addressed with accessible privacy and terms of use policies but lacks cookie consent mechanisms. The overall security culture appears professional but would benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security documentation. No critical vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance browser security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident management.
  4. Enhance contact transparency by providing verified company contact emails or phone numbers on the website.
  5. Consider creating and publishing a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible security research.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, enabling server-side rendering and good performance. Multimedia content such as videos and Lottie animations enrich user experience. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or framework-based build. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available. Performance is moderate with some heavy multimedia elements but overall user experience is smooth. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved for broader compliance. The technical infrastructure supports the company's blockchain service offerings effectively but could benefit from enhanced security configurations.
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.
