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

Persistence One is a blockchain technology platform specializing in Bitcoin interoperability and decentralized finance (DeFi) services, including a decentralized exchange (DEX) for BTCFi tokens and stablecoins. The platform leverages the $XPRT token for governance and transaction fees and integrates with Babylon Chain to enhance BTCFi capabilities. The website demonstrates a solid technical infrastructure using modern frameworks such as Next.js and Chakra UI, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS services. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections, though DNSSEC is not enabled and no explicit security or privacy policies are published. The absence of privacy and cookie policies and lack of vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represent compliance and security gaps. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security documentation.

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 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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 16 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Persistence One positions itself as a specialized BTCFi liquidity hub and interoperability platform targeting cryptocurrency traders, DeFi users, and blockchain developers. Its business model revolves around providing decentralized exchange services, cross-chain swaps, and governance via its native token $XPRT. The company has been operational since 2019 and maintains a medium-sized presence with active community engagement through social media and forums. Partnerships such as with Babylon Chain indicate strategic ecosystem growth. The platform's focus on Bitcoin interoperability addresses a niche market with growth potential in the DeFi space.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses domain transfer protection, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, the lack of DNSSEC, absence of security.txt or vulnerability disclosure pages, and missing explicit security contact information highlight areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The overall security posture is moderate but could be strengthened by adopting industry best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  4. Add and document security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Provide explicit security contact information to improve incident response readiness and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based framework (Next.js) with Chakra UI for styling, indicating a contemporary and maintainable tech stack. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. The technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
