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

VeChain is a well-established blockchain platform focused on delivering sustainable, scalable, and secure blockchain solutions primarily targeting enterprises and the Web3 community. The company emphasizes its VeChainThor blockchain, which is EVM-compatible and designed for sustainability and performance. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and relevant content aimed at developers, enterprises, and blockchain enthusiasts. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Elementor and uses modern libraries and analytics tools such as Matomo and Freshworks. Hosting appears to be on AWS infrastructure, ensuring reliable performance. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled and domain-level protections like clientDeleteProhibited status; however, there is room for improvement by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers. Privacy compliance is limited as no explicit privacy or cookie policies were found, which is a notable gap given GDPR and other regulations. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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

5 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 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

  4. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

VeChain operates in the blockchain technology sector with a focus on enterprise blockchain solutions and sustainability. The business model revolves around providing a blockchain platform (VeChainThor) that supports scalable and secure applications, targeting enterprises and developers. The presence of a grants program via VeBetter DAO indicates an ecosystem development strategy to foster innovation and adoption. The company is positioned as a leader in sustainable blockchain solutions with a global reach, supported by a large and mature domain age and consistent branding. Partnerships such as VeBetter DAO enhance its ecosystem. Revenue streams likely include enterprise blockchain services, developer grants, and possibly token economics related to VET. The target audience includes blockchain developers, enterprises seeking blockchain integration, and the broader Web3 community.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which limits transparency and readiness perception. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of privacy protection for WHOIS is justified and common for blockchain enterprises. The site uses Matomo for analytics, which can be privacy-friendly if configured correctly. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved by implementing recommended security headers, publishing security policies, and enabling DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to improve GDPR compliance.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to protect against common web attacks.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities and improve performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building, supported by Yoast SEO for search optimization. It leverages jQuery and Swiper.js for interactive elements and uses Matomo for analytics, indicating a preference for privacy-conscious tracking. Hosting is likely on AWS given the DNS servers. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site uses multiple CSS and JS libraries and plugins, which require regular maintenance to avoid technical debt. No critical technical issues were detected, but the absence of DNSSEC and security headers represents a technical risk. The site could benefit from performance optimizations and enhanced accessibility compliance.
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.
