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.

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.

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.

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
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
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.
