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

Switchboard.xyz operates as a permissionless oracle network providing decentralized applications with real-world data feeds, randomness, and oracle aggregation services. Founded in 2020, it has established itself as a trusted technology provider across multiple blockchain networks, securing over $5 billion in value and serving more than 51 leading projects. The website reflects a mature and professional digital presence with excellent design, clear navigation, and strong branding consistency. The technical infrastructure leverages modern web technologies including React, Cloudflare hosting, and Google Tag Manager for analytics, ensuring fast performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections, though DNSSEC is not enabled and some security headers are not explicitly detected. Privacy compliance is partial, with a comprehensive privacy policy present but lacking a cookie consent mechanism. No direct contact information or incident response policies are published, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and well-positioned in the blockchain oracle market.

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

4 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 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

Switchboard targets developers and innovators in the blockchain ecosystem requiring reliable and customizable oracle data feeds. Its business model centers on providing infrastructure services that enable decentralized applications to access real-time, verifiable data and randomness. The company benefits from a strong partnership ecosystem and a growing community presence on GitHub, Discord, and social media. Market positioning is strong given its multi-chain support and significant value secured. Revenue streams likely include service fees for data feeds and enterprise solutions. The company maintains privacy protection for its domain registration, which is typical for tech startups. Growth indicators include active product subdomains and community engagement. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance compliance transparency and incident response readiness.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and domain status set to clientTransferProhibited, reducing risk of unauthorized domain transfers. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice for DNS security. No explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options or X-Content-Type-Options were detected in the HTML content, which could be added to improve protection against clickjacking and MIME sniffing attacks. No sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found exposed in the site content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness communication. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, which could be beneficial for coordinated vulnerability management. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced with additional headers, DNSSEC, and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Add explicit security headers such as X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance browser security.
  3. Implement a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply with GDPR and improve privacy compliance.
  4. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to increase transparency and readiness.
  5. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and ES modules, hosted on Cloudflare which provides performance and security benefits. The use of Google Tag Manager enables flexible analytics deployment. Fonts are loaded via Fontsource, ensuring consistent typography. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is fast with minimal blocking scripts and efficient asset loading. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or static site build. Technical risks are minimal but could include reliance on third-party scripts and absence of DNSSEC. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust, modern, and well-maintained.
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.
