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

SpicySwap HD is a decentralized exchange platform operating on the Tezos blockchain, offering users the ability to trade cryptocurrencies, manage liquidity pools, and participate in farming activities. The platform targets cryptocurrency traders and liquidity providers seeking an integrated DEX solution. The website demonstrates a modern technical infrastructure built with Angular and utilizes ApexCharts for data visualization, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. While the site is functional and visually consistent, it lacks critical compliance documentation such as privacy and cookie policies, as well as contact information for support or incident response. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled, but the absence of security headers and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement. Overall, the platform appears legitimate but would benefit from enhanced transparency and compliance measures to strengthen trust and security.

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

9 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 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
    • 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

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

SpicySwap HD positions itself as a niche player in the decentralized exchange market on the Tezos blockchain, focusing on integrated services including trading, liquidity management, and farming. The business model revolves around facilitating decentralized finance activities without centralized intermediaries. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its all-in-one approach and blockchain choice. However, the lack of publicly available business registration details and contact information limits full assessment of credibility. The absence of advertising and tracking tools suggests a focus on organic growth or privacy-conscious users. Growth indicators such as transaction volume and TVL are visible on the site, indicating active usage. No evident partnerships or subsidiaries are disclosed.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication, which is a fundamental security requirement. However, the lack of security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file is present, which limits users' ability to report security issues responsibly. The absence of contact information for security incidents further weakens incident response readiness. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be significantly improved by implementing standard web security best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to improve web security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including support and security incident response channels.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Angular 16, a modern and robust frontend framework, combined with ApexCharts for interactive data visualization. It uses several popular libraries and fonts loaded from trusted CDNs. The site appears to be moderately optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness. However, there is no evidence of a CMS or backend technology from the provided data. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. The site lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features but maintains a clean and consistent design. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in accessibility and SEO could enhance overall quality.
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.
