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

Farcaster.xyz operates as a decentralized social network and crypto wallet platform, targeting crypto enthusiasts and digital asset traders. The business is positioned as a niche social network that facilitates discovery, trading, and creation within the crypto ecosystem. The company behind the site is Merkle Manufactory, founded in 2021, with a small-sized operation focused on technology innovation in blockchain social networking. The website promotes app downloads for iOS and Android, indicating a multi-platform presence. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including React, Google Fonts, and Fathom Analytics for lightweight user tracking. Hosting and DNS services are provided via Cloudflare, ensuring good performance and security at the infrastructure level. The site is mobile-optimized with good design quality and user experience, although accessibility features are basic. SEO optimization is present but minimal. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections enabled. However, it lacks DNSSEC, explicit security headers, and a cookie consent mechanism, which are areas for improvement. No contact or incident response information is provided, limiting transparency in security governance. The privacy policy exists but is basic and does not explicitly confirm GDPR compliance. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences with no adult or questionable content. The domain registration is consistent with the business timeline and shows no suspicious patterns. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, enabling DNSSEC, implementing cookie consent, and providing clearer security and contact information to improve compliance and trust.

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

7 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

      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

Farcaster.xyz serves a specialized market segment within the crypto and blockchain community, offering a combined social networking and crypto wallet service. Its competitive advantage lies in integrating social discovery with crypto trading and wallet functionalities. The business model likely includes user engagement through app downloads and possibly transaction fees or premium services. The company is relatively young, founded in 2021, and operates under Merkle Manufactory. The presence of developer documentation indicates an openness to ecosystem growth and third-party integrations. The lack of extensive contact information suggests a lean operation focused on digital channels. Growth indicators include multi-platform app availability and active analytics tracking. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident from the data.

Security posture

The security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections active. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS reduces the overall security maturity. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The lack of incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent or explicit GDPR statements. The use of Fathom Analytics suggests minimal user tracking, which is positive for privacy. Overall, the security culture appears basic but functional, with room for significant improvements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and inform users about tracking.
  4. Publish clear incident response and security contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users and meet compliance standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern JavaScript frameworks, likely React, with modular JavaScript and CSS assets. It uses Google Fonts for typography and Fathom Analytics for privacy-focused user tracking. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. The site is mobile responsive with good performance and fast loading times. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or static site architecture. SEO is basic with meta description and viewport tags present. Accessibility is minimal but functional. There is no evidence of technical debt or deprecated technologies. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
