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

Yuga Labs is a prominent technology company specializing in the creation and development of NFT projects and web3 community experiences, notably known for the Bored Ape Yacht Club and related initiatives. The company positions itself as a leader in the web3 space, focusing on storytelling, community engagement, and digital art innovation. The website reflects a modern and professional digital presence with consistent branding and targeted messaging towards NFT enthusiasts and the broader web3 community. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript frameworks such as Nuxt.js, utilizes Prismic CMS for content management, and leverages Cloudflare for DNS and likely CDN services. Analytics are implemented via Plausible and Google Tag Manager, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices, although accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses domain status flags to protect against unauthorized domain changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers were detected in the provided data, which could be improved. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, as well as contact information, represents compliance and transparency gaps. No forms or direct data collection mechanisms were found, reducing immediate risk exposure. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professionally maintained but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, security header implementation, and clearer contact channels to improve user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

9 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

Yuga Labs operates in the cutting-edge NFT and web3 technology sector, targeting digital art collectors, crypto enthusiasts, and community members interested in blockchain-based experiences. Their business model revolves around creating exclusive NFT collections and fostering community engagement through storytelling and events. The company benefits from strong brand recognition and a loyal user base, positioning it as a market leader. Revenue streams likely include NFT sales, secondary market royalties, and partnerships. The absence of explicit partner or subsidiary domains suggests a focused operational structure. Growth indicators include active social media presence and ongoing project launches. Strategic partnerships with platforms like Prismic for CMS and Cloudflare for hosting support their digital infrastructure.

Security posture

Yuga Labs demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections in place. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security indicate areas for improvement. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response information are publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security events. The absence of privacy and cookie policies also raises compliance concerns, particularly regarding GDPR. The use of reputable third-party services for analytics and hosting reduces some risk, but the company should enhance transparency and security controls to strengthen its security culture and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR and global privacy compliance.
  3. Implement standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Provide clear contact information and establish a public incident response or security contact channel.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to minimize privacy risks and improve user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework (Nuxt.js) with server-side rendering capabilities, enhancing SEO and performance. Prismic CMS integration allows flexible content management. Hosting and DNS services are provided by Cloudflare, ensuring reliable uptime and DDoS protection. Analytics are handled by Plausible and Google Tag Manager, indicating a balanced approach to data collection and privacy. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization, though accessibility features could be enhanced. The absence of security headers and DNSSEC represents technical debt that should be addressed to reduce risk. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals but requires incremental improvements to align with best practices.
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.
