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

4 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

  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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

SKALE operates in the blockchain technology sector with a focus on Ethereum-compatible chains that offer zero gas fees and high throughput. Its business model includes providing blockchain infrastructure, developer grants, and ecosystem support to foster adoption. The platform targets developers building gaming, AI, and DeFi applications, leveraging partnerships with notable venture capital firms and blockchain investors to strengthen its market position. SKALE's competitive advantage lies in its modular architecture, instant finality, and gas-free transactions, addressing common pain points in blockchain scalability and user experience. The company maintains an active content strategy with blogs, social media, and developer resources, indicating growth and community engagement. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for controlled communication via forms and social channels. The partnership ecosystem is robust, including multiple venture capital and blockchain-focused firms, which supports strategic growth and credibility.

Security posture

The website and platform exhibit a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. The use of modern JavaScript libraries and frameworks appears secure with no visible vulnerable components or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and preparedness communication. No direct security contact emails such as security@ or abuse@ are provided, which could hinder timely incident reporting. The platform's blockchain architecture incorporates security best practices like pooled validation and random node rotation to mitigate collusion and attacks. Overall, while technical security controls are well implemented, governance and communication aspects of security could be improved to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security controls and governance.
  2. Establish and publicize an incident response contact channel and process.
  3. Implement and disclose a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Add a Terms of Service page to clarify legal terms and user obligations.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide an accessibility statement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Webflow CMS with a modern tech stack including GSAP for animations, CountUp.js for dynamic counters, Axios for API calls, and integration with multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight, and Twitter Pixel. Hosting assets on DigitalOcean Spaces indicates reliable cloud infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with smooth scrolling and responsive design. Performance is fast with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized media assets. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The blockchain platform itself uses containerized validator nodes and a modular architecture to deliver high throughput and instant finality. No technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected. Opportunities exist to improve security governance documentation and expand accessibility compliance.
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.
