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.

Add-on

Leaked records that mention peaq.network, from OffSeq Breach.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Peaq is strategically positioned as a foundational blockchain for the Machine Economy, focusing on decentralized networks of physical devices and applications. Its business model revolves around providing scalable, modular blockchain infrastructure and developer tools to enable DePIN projects across multiple industries such as energy, transportation, and technology. The presence of major enterprise partners and testimonials from project founders indicate strong ecosystem validation and growth potential. The platform supports a wide range of use cases and industries, with over 50 DePINs and 6 million+ devices connected. The company leverages grant programs and community engagement to foster adoption. The website content and structure emphasize transparency, developer support, and ecosystem building, signaling a forward-looking and collaborative business approach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, modern security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, etc.), and secure form implementations. The use of Usercentrics for cookie consent aligns with GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response procedures, or security contact emails limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by formalizing security governance and incident response communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Provide explicit security incident contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency on data retention and privacy practices to strengthen compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern and scalable infrastructure using Webflow CMS, integrating advanced JavaScript libraries such as GSAP for animations and Finsweet for CMS sliders. It leverages Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, and Usercentrics for consent management, indicating a mature digital marketing and compliance setup. Hosting appears to be via Cloudflare CDN, ensuring fast global delivery and security. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with semantic HTML and responsive design. Performance is fast with no broken elements detected. Opportunities exist to further enhance technical maturity by adding structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and publishing detailed technical and security documentation.
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.
