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

Stacksroadmap.com is a professionally designed website serving as the official community-driven roadmap for the Stacks blockchain ecosystem, a leading Bitcoin Layer 2 solution. The site provides detailed strategic and technical updates on Stacks Core development, sBTC, ecosystem growth, and future upgrades. It targets developers, ecosystem participants, and institutional investors interested in Bitcoin DeFi. The website is hosted on Cloudflare and built using the Tilda CMS platform, with a focus on performance, mobile optimization, and user experience. However, it lacks explicit privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which are important for compliance and user trust. The WHOIS data shows inconsistencies, including a future domain creation date and lack of registrant details, which slightly detracts from domain trustworthiness. Overall, the site is a valuable resource for the Stacks community but would benefit from improved compliance 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

7 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
    • 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 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

    • 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

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 website positions Stacks as the leading Bitcoin Layer 2 ecosystem, emphasizing its unique architecture, developer engagement, and institutional partnerships. It highlights key growth areas such as DeFi TVL expansion, sBTC adoption, interoperability, and wallet integrations. The business model is community-driven and open, focusing on ecosystem development rather than direct commercial services. Partnerships with recognized entities like Hiro Systems, Bitcoin L2 Labs, Alum Labs, and others strengthen its market position. The roadmap reflects active development and strategic planning, indicating a mature and growing ecosystem with clear goals for 2025 and beyond.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS enforced by Cloudflare and domain transfer protection status. However, it lacks DNSSEC and visible security headers, which are recommended best practices. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, limiting transparency. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also represents a compliance gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The overall security posture is moderate, with room for improvement in policy publication and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Add explicit security and incident response policies with contact channels for vulnerability reporting.
  5. Review and correct WHOIS registration data to ensure accuracy and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Tilda CMS platform, leveraging modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript technologies. It uses Tilda's grid, animation, and block frameworks for responsive design and user experience. Hosting is provided by Cloudflare, ensuring fast content delivery and HTTPS support. Analytics are implemented via Plausible Analytics, a privacy-focused service. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with clear navigation and structured content. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. The main technical risk lies in the lack of DNSSEC and security headers, which could be addressed to improve security posture.
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.
