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

NOW Wallet, operated by CHN Group Limited, is a secure, non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet offering multi-platform support including mobile and desktop applications. It enables users to store, buy, exchange, and stake a wide range of cryptocurrencies and tokens, leveraging the ChangeNOW platform for fiat-to-crypto transactions. The wallet emphasizes privacy and security by storing funds locally on user devices and not collecting personal data. The website is professionally designed with excellent content quality, clear navigation, and strong branding consistency, targeting cryptocurrency users seeking a reliable wallet solution. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies such as React and Next.js, ensuring fast performance and mobile optimization. It integrates Google Analytics for user behavior tracking and employs standard security headers and HTTPS for secure communications. However, it lacks a visible cookie consent mechanism and detailed security or incident response policies, which are areas for improvement. From a security perspective, the wallet's non-custodial nature and use of security headers contribute to a strong security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The domain registration is consistent with the business claims, enhancing trustworthiness. Overall, the site scores highly on content quality, technical implementation, security, and business credibility, with minor gaps in privacy compliance. Strategic recommendations include implementing a cookie consent banner to enhance privacy compliance, publishing a dedicated security policy and incident response information, establishing a vulnerability disclosure program, and providing Data Protection Officer contact details. These steps will strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence, supporting the wallet's market position as a secure and user-friendly crypto asset management solution.

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.

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 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

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

NOW Wallet operates in the competitive cryptocurrency wallet market, differentiating itself through a non-custodial model that prioritizes user privacy and security. Its integration with the ChangeNOW platform allows seamless fiat-to-crypto purchases, expanding its appeal to both novice and experienced crypto users. The business model is primarily service-oriented, offering free wallet software with monetization likely through exchange fees and staking services. The company maintains a medium-sized presence with a consistent branding strategy and a growing ecosystem of related products such as NOW Nodes and NOW Payments. Partnerships with reputable crypto service providers and positive press coverage enhance its market credibility. The target customer segment includes individual crypto investors and traders seeking secure, multi-asset wallets with staking and NFT capabilities. Growth indicators include multi-language support, extensive platform availability, and active social media engagement.

Security posture

The security posture of NOW Wallet is robust, leveraging a non-custodial architecture that ensures users retain control over their private keys and funds. The website enforces HTTPS and employs multiple security headers to protect against common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified in the analysis. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response plan, and vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and may hinder rapid response to potential threats. Privacy compliance is partially addressed through a comprehensive privacy policy, but the lack of a cookie consent mechanism is a compliance gap. Overall, the security culture appears mature, but formalizing incident response and disclosure processes would enhance resilience and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy outlining security practices and controls.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer or security team.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework, ensuring server-side rendering and fast load times. It uses Google Fonts for typography and integrates Google Analytics for tracking. The site is fully responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with dedicated app downloads for iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux. SEO best practices are followed with proper meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD for mobile application schema. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or headless architecture. Hosting details are not explicitly available but the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration. Performance is fast with preloading of critical assets and deferred script loading. Accessibility is good with semantic HTML and ARIA roles. Technical risks are minimal but could be further reduced by enhancing privacy compliance and security transparency.
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.
