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. 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

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention trustmachines.co, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for trustmachines.co right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Trust Machines positions itself as an innovator in the Bitcoin ecosystem, focusing on unlocking Bitcoin's potential through layer-2 solutions and smart contracts. Their business model combines product development and infrastructure contributions, targeting a growing market of Bitcoin users and developers. The company leverages partnerships with related products like Leather and Dot Locker, enhancing their ecosystem presence. Growth indicators include active content updates, social media engagement, and email marketing. The use of privacy protection in domain registration is justified for a tech startup, balancing transparency with privacy. The company operates primarily in the US technology sector with a small team size and a clear mission to scale Bitcoin adoption.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, domain locking via EPP status flags, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended enhancement for DNS security. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and may impact trust for security-conscious users. Forms are limited to email subscription with standard validation, minimizing attack surface. Analytics and marketing scripts are used responsibly without detected vulnerabilities. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by publishing security policies, enabling DNSSEC, and implementing cookie consent mechanisms to enhance compliance and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance privacy policy with explicit GDPR compliance statements and data retention details.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Gatsby, with Builder.io as the CMS platform. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site is mobile-optimized with good accessibility and SEO practices. Analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, and HubSpot are integrated for user behavior tracking and engagement. The technical implementation is robust with fast loading times and clean code structure. Opportunities exist to further modernize by enabling DNSSEC and improving privacy compliance mechanisms. No technical debt or critical risks were identified in the current implementation.
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.
