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

Spindl is a specialized Web3 growth platform focused on providing attribution, analytics, audience segmentation, and advertising solutions tailored for blockchain-based applications. The company positions itself as a key player in the emerging Web3 marketing stack, serving developers and marketers who require detailed onchain and offchain user insights. The platform integrates with multiple Web3 wallets and partners with notable Web3 companies, enhancing its market credibility. Technically, the website is built using modern frameworks such as Astro and leverages a robust tech stack including Mixpanel, Google Analytics, and PostHog for analytics, alongside CookieYes for consent management. The hosting infrastructure appears to be on AWS, ensuring scalability and reliability. The site demonstrates excellent design quality, mobile responsiveness, and SEO optimization, reflecting a mature digital presence. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs domain status protections to prevent unauthorized transfers or updates. However, there is room for improvement by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers. The privacy compliance is strong with clear privacy and cookie policies and a consent mechanism, though no explicit security policy or incident response contacts are published. Overall, Spindl presents a low-risk profile with a professional, secure, and privacy-conscious web presence. Strategic recommendations include enhancing DNS security, publishing security policies, and expanding contact information to further build trust and compliance.

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

3 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 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';…

  2. 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

Spindl operates in the Technology sector, specifically targeting the Web3 ecosystem with a B2B SaaS model. Its competitive advantage lies in combining Web3 attribution, analytics, and advertising into a unified platform, addressing a niche yet growing market. The company has established partnerships with prominent Web3 entities, which strengthens its ecosystem and market reach. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for platform access and possibly transaction fees for referral payments. The target customers are Web3 developers, marketers, and enterprises seeking advanced user insights and growth tools. Growth indicators include active blog content, integration with major wallets, and a presence on social media platforms. The company maintains a consistent brand and professional content, supporting its credibility and market positioning.

Security posture

Spindl demonstrates a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS, domain transfer protections, and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers represents moderate gaps that could be exploited in DNS spoofing or clickjacking attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and may impact trust from security-conscious clients. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and formalizing incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and provide incident response contact information to increase transparency and trust.
  4. Expand contact information on the website, including verified company emails and phone numbers, to improve business credibility.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Astro framework, leveraging modern JavaScript and static site generation for fast performance. It uses third-party analytics tools including Mixpanel, Google Analytics, and PostHog, integrated via cookies and JavaScript SDKs. CookieYes is used for comprehensive cookie consent management, supporting GDPR compliance. Hosting appears to be on AWS infrastructure, indicated by DNS nameservers. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. The technical implementation is modern and well-executed, with opportunities to improve security headers and DNS configuration.
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.
