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

Snapshot (snapshot.box) is a decentralized governance platform designed to facilitate voting and proposal management for DAOs and blockchain projects. Operated by Web3 Privacy LLC, the platform targets Web3 communities seeking transparent and decentralized decision-making tools. The website is modern, built with Vue.js and Headless UI, and hosted with Cloudflare DNS services, indicating a contemporary technical infrastructure. The domain is newly registered in May 2024, consistent with a recently launched platform in the evolving Web3 space. Security posture is moderate; while HTTPS is implied, no explicit security headers or DNSSEC are enabled, and no privacy or cookie policies are present on the explored page. The site lacks visible contact or incident response information, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, Snapshot presents a professional and functional platform with room for enhanced security and privacy compliance measures.

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. 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

Snapshot holds a strong position in the decentralized governance niche within the blockchain industry, serving DAOs and crypto projects. Its business model revolves around providing a platform service for proposal creation and voting, enabling decentralized decision-making. The company, Web3 Privacy LLC, is US-based and relatively new, indicating a startup or emerging enterprise. The platform's adoption by prominent DAOs and presence of verified and pro spaces suggest competitive advantages and a growing user base. The absence of direct contact information and formal policies on the website may limit some enterprise trust but aligns with typical Web3 community norms. The ecosystem includes partnerships with blockchain projects and uses Cloudflare for DNS and CDN services. Growth potential is significant given the expanding DAO market and increasing demand for decentralized governance tools.

Security posture

The security maturity of snapshot.box is moderate. The domain uses clientTransferProhibited status to prevent unauthorized transfers, which is a positive control. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice to prevent DNS spoofing. The website does not expose any sensitive data in the HTML content, and no vulnerable libraries are detected from the provided scripts. The lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security is a gap that should be addressed. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, which limits transparency in security management. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also indicates incomplete compliance with data protection regulations. Overall, the platform should enhance its security headers, enable DNSSEC, and publish clear security and privacy policies to improve its security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing attacks.
  2. Implement and configure essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies on the website to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  4. Add clear contact information including security incident response and vulnerability disclosure channels.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to avoid vulnerabilities and maintain security hygiene.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including Vue.js and Headless UI components, indicating a contemporary and modular frontend architecture. The use of ES modules and modern CSS practices suggests good technical implementation. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site is mobile optimized and has good navigation clarity. However, no CMS or backend technology is explicitly detected from the HTML content. Performance is likely fast given the minimal inline styles and external asset loading. SEO optimization is basic with minimal meta tags and no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data found. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is well-suited for a Web3 governance platform but could benefit from enhanced SEO and accessibility improvements.
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.
