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

Alchemy Insights Inc. operates the Ethereum Sepolia Faucet, a specialized service providing free Sepolia ETH testnet tokens to blockchain developers. The website is designed to facilitate fast and reliable distribution of testnet tokens without requiring authentication, targeting developers who need to test decentralized applications before deploying on the Ethereum mainnet. The service supports multiple test networks and integrates anti-abuse mechanisms such as Google reCAPTCHA and minimum mainnet ETH balance requirements to prevent misuse. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including React.js, Google reCAPTCHA, and Google Tag Manager for analytics and bot prevention. The site is well-optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with clear navigation and professional design. However, it lacks explicit privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which are important for compliance and user trust. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses rate limiting and CAPTCHA to mitigate abuse. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of security headers and formal security policies suggests room for improvement in hardening the security posture. WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, likely due to privacy or registry restrictions, but the website content and branding strongly indicate legitimacy. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional service for blockchain developers, with strong technical implementation and security controls. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security policy transparency, and contact information availability would enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

6 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, Twitter, Google APIs

      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

Alchemy Insights Inc. holds a strong position in the blockchain developer tools market by providing essential infrastructure services such as Ethereum testnet faucets. Their business model focuses on supporting developers with free test tokens to accelerate decentralized application development and testing. The company targets blockchain developers and teams building on Ethereum and related test networks. The faucet service is part of a broader ecosystem including account onboarding and API services, indicating diversified revenue streams and growth potential. The company maintains an active presence on social media and integrates affiliate referral programs to expand reach. The lack of public WHOIS data is a minor anomaly but does not detract from the company's established market presence and operational transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement, Google reCAPTCHA integration, and rate limiting to prevent abuse. These controls effectively mitigate automated attacks and spam requests. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is publicly available, which limits transparency and user confidence in security incident handling. Privacy and cookie policies are missing, indicating potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies, publishing security contacts, and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Provide clear contact information and a dedicated security or abuse email address.
  4. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React.js framework with integration of Google services such as reCAPTCHA and Tag Manager, indicating a contemporary and scalable technical infrastructure. Performance is optimized with asynchronous script loading and use of SVG graphics for branding. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. However, no CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly identified. The absence of certain security headers and privacy mechanisms suggests some technical debt in compliance and security hardening. Overall, the technical implementation supports a reliable and user-friendly experience but can benefit from enhancements in security and privacy 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.
