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

Farcaster is a decentralized social network platform targeting communities such as developers, artists, NFT collectors, and meme creators. It offers mobile applications for iOS and Android, positioning itself as a niche player in the decentralized social networking space. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with clear calls to action for sign-up and app downloads. The technical infrastructure is modern, leveraging React and progressive web app features, with moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though some security best practices like security headers and incident response policies are not explicitly documented. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy and terms of use present but lacking a cookie consent mechanism and detailed GDPR compliance indicators. Overall, the site is safe, trustworthy, and well-designed, but could improve transparency and compliance aspects.

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 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

  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

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 9 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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

Farcaster operates in the technology sector as a decentralized social network, focusing on community engagement for niche audiences such as coders and NFT collectors. Its business model revolves around providing a platform and mobile apps to facilitate decentralized social interactions. The company maintains a professional online presence with official app store links and developer documentation, indicating a focus on developer and tech-savvy users. The use of privacy protection in WHOIS is typical for startups and projects in this space. No direct contact information or detailed business registration data is available, which is common for decentralized projects. The platform's growth potential lies in its unique decentralized approach and community focus, though transparency and compliance improvements could enhance trust and adoption.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security posture with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and does not provide a published security policy or incident response contact information. The absence of a cookie consent mechanism and vulnerability disclosure policy indicates gaps in privacy and security compliance. No vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party tracking scripts introduces moderate user tracking, which should be balanced with privacy compliance measures. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for a technology startup but with room for improvement in formal policies and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  2. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and preparedness.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to strengthen security posture.
  4. Provide a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing GDPR adherence and data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack, likely React, with module-based scripts and CSS. It includes Google Fonts for typography and a manifest file indicating progressive web app capabilities. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and app download links for iOS and Android. Performance is moderate, with multiple modulepreload scripts which may impact initial load times. No CMS or hosting provider is explicitly identified. Accessibility features are basic but present. SEO optimization is basic with meta description and viewport tags but no Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data detected. The site uses a third-party analytics script (pencil-novel) which tracks user interactions. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced SEO and accessibility improvements.
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.
