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

Save.finance is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform operating on the Solana blockchain, offering permissionless lending and borrowing services similar to established protocols like Aave and Compound but tailored for Solana users. The platform enables users to earn interest on crypto deposits and use those deposits as collateral for borrowing, targeting crypto enthusiasts and DeFi participants. The website is professionally designed with a modern tech stack including React and Next.js, hosted on Vercel, and integrates blockchain technologies specific to Solana. However, the site lacks explicit privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, and does not provide direct contact information, which may impact user trust and regulatory compliance. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers. Overall, the platform appears legitimate and consistent with a new DeFi project launched in 2024, but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security disclosures.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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

Save.finance positions itself as a niche DeFi lending and borrowing protocol on the Solana blockchain, aiming to capture users interested in decentralized savings and loans. Its business model revolves around facilitating crypto asset lending and borrowing with interest generation, leveraging Solana's fast and low-cost network. The platform targets crypto users globally, with a focus on Solana ecosystem participants. The company is relatively new, founded in 2024, and uses privacy protection for domain registration, which is common in crypto projects. The absence of detailed business contact information and formal policies suggests a startup phase or a decentralized governance model. The presence on social media platforms like Twitter and Discord indicates active community engagement. Strategic partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and has domain status set to clientTransferProhibited, which protects against unauthorized domain transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could expose the domain to DNS spoofing risks. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. The absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. No forms collecting sensitive data were found, reducing immediate risk exposure. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing DNSSEC, security headers, and formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden web security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response and abuse contacts to improve trust and incident handling.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, indicating a contemporary and scalable front-end architecture. Hosting on Vercel provides reliable performance and global CDN capabilities. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags for social sharing. However, accessibility features appear basic and could be enhanced. The absence of a CMS suggests a custom or static site approach. Performance is moderate with some preloading and font optimizations. The integration with Solana blockchain and Web3 wallets indicates advanced technical capabilities tailored for crypto users. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which could be addressed to reduce attack surface.
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.
