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

PeckShield is a blockchain security company established in 2018, specializing in security audits, penetration testing, emergency response, and threat monitoring for blockchain infrastructure, exchanges, wallets, and DeFi projects. The company has a strong market position with notable achievements such as discovering critical Ethereum vulnerabilities and ranking among the top Ethereum bounty programs. Technically, the website is built on modern JavaScript frameworks (Vue.js) and hosted via Cloudflare, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection, though DNSSEC is not enabled and security headers are not evident. Privacy compliance is lacking as no privacy or cookie policies are found, and user tracking is moderate via Google Analytics and Tag Manager. Overall, PeckShield presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence aligned with its business focus.

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

7 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

PeckShield operates in the blockchain security sector, targeting blockchain ecosystem participants such as exchanges, wallets, and DeFi developers. Its business model centers on providing comprehensive security services and proprietary AML and monitoring platforms. The company benefits from strategic partnerships and a strong reputation in the industry, supported by its technical expertise and research output. Revenue streams likely include audit services, consultancy, and product subscriptions. The company maintains a medium-sized operation with offices in China and the US, and subsidiaries like CoinHolmes and DAppTotal enhance its service offerings. Growth indicators include continuous research publications and a broad customer base.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer lock in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represents areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a security.txt file or explicit incident response contact channels limits transparency for vulnerability reporting. Privacy policies are missing, which is a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR and global privacy compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Publish a security.txt file with clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contact information.
  5. Consider adding phone and physical address contact details to enhance business credibility and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Vue.js framework with JavaScript and is hosted on Cloudflare infrastructure, providing good performance and moderate mobile optimization. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for user tracking and analytics. The site lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are technical risks. The HTML is well structured with preloading of CSS and JS assets, indicating attention to performance. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or static site build. Overall, the technical implementation is modern and functional but can be improved with enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance features.
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.
