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

VM operates as a pioneering domain NFT marketplace, leveraging blockchain technology to facilitate seamless domain trading, transfers, lending, and escrow services. Registered as an ICANN-accredited registrar in Hong Kong since 2022, VM positions itself as a trusted platform for Web3 domain asset management. The website demonstrates a modern technical infrastructure built on Vue.js and integrates with popular blockchain wallets such as MetaMask, indicating a mature digital presence. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and standard security headers, although explicit security policies and incident response details are not publicly available. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises some concerns about registration transparency, but the presence of recognized partners and clear privacy policies mitigates some risk. Overall, VM presents a credible and innovative business with room for improvement in transparency 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

6 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 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

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

VM targets domain traders and Web3 users by offering NFT-powered domain trading services. Its business model combines marketplace operations with domain registrar services, supported by partnerships with major payment and blockchain infrastructure providers. The company emphasizes trustworthiness through ICANN accreditation and transparent transaction processes using smart contracts. Growth potential is indicated by its focus on cross-border remittance and privacy protection. However, the lack of direct contact information and missing WHOIS data suggest areas for enhanced corporate transparency. VM's ecosystem includes integrations with MetaMask and Coinbase Wallet, appealing to crypto-savvy customers. The company’s strategic partnerships with AWS, Stripe, PayPal, Moralis, and Polygon strengthen its market position and operational capabilities.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements key security headers, reflecting a solid baseline security posture. Use of blockchain technology for transaction transparency and asset control enhances security trust. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, and vulnerability disclosure program limits visibility into the company’s security maturity. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. Privacy compliance is supported by comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. The lack of explicit security contact channels and incident response information is a gap that should be addressed to improve readiness and user trust. Overall, VM demonstrates good security hygiene but should enhance transparency and communication regarding security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program including security contact emails.
  3. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers for customer and security inquiries.
  4. Improve accessibility compliance to meet broader user needs and legal requirements.
  5. Enhance SEO metadata and structured data to improve search engine visibility and indexing.

Technical notes

Notes

VM’s website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks, primarily Vue.js with Naive UI components, supporting a responsive and interactive user experience. The site leverages ES modules and integrates blockchain wallet tools for NFT domain management. Performance is moderate with efficient use of module preloading and optimized assets. The site is mobile-optimized and uses standard meta tags for social sharing and SEO. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified but partnerships with AWS suggest cloud infrastructure usage. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or framework-based build. Technical risks are minimal but could include dependency management and ensuring ongoing security updates for third-party libraries.
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.
