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

Squads Labs is a fintech company specializing in products and APIs built on stablecoin rails, targeting global businesses and fintech developers. Their offerings include modern USD accounts, personal finance apps with crypto integration, fintech infrastructure, and multisig platforms for Solana assets. The website is professionally designed using Framer and hosted on AWS infrastructure, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and security headers, though DNSSEC is not enabled and privacy compliance could be improved. No direct contact information or incident response policies are visible, which may impact trust. Overall, the site presents a credible fintech startup with room for enhanced privacy and security transparency.

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 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. 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

The company positions itself as an innovative fintech provider leveraging stablecoin technology to offer financial products and APIs. Their business model focuses on enabling global businesses and developers to access modern money rails without legacy constraints. Partnerships such as with Fuse Wallet indicate a growing ecosystem. The company maintains a presence on Github and Twitter, signaling active development and community engagement. The lack of detailed contact information and certifications suggests a small to medium-sized startup still maturing its corporate governance and compliance frameworks.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes a restrictive Content Security Policy, which are positive security indicators. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a missed opportunity to secure DNS queries. There is no visible security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure program, which are important for transparency and trust in fintech. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms and explicit GDPR compliance statements in the privacy policy indicates potential compliance gaps. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing
  2. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and privacy regulations
  3. Expand the privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR compliance and data protection practices
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency
  5. Add clear contact information including support emails or phone numbers to enhance business credibility

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Framer, a modern web design platform, and hosted on AWS infrastructure as indicated by DNS nameservers. Google Analytics is used for user tracking, integrated via Google Tag Manager. The site uses modern fonts and responsive design techniques, providing good mobile optimization and user experience. Performance is moderate, with some large images but overall good structure. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS other than Framer is detected. The site uses clientTransferProhibited domain status to prevent unauthorized transfers, indicating domain management awareness.
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.
