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

GKFX operates as an online financial trading platform specializing in Forex and CFD trading services. The website presents a basic marketing message targeting retail traders interested in FX and CFDs, with a focus on offering 'top conditions' for trading. The site lacks detailed business information, regulatory disclosures, or comprehensive service descriptions, indicating a small-scale or early-stage online presence. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies including JavaScript, CSS, and SVG graphics. It integrates EmailJS for contact form submissions and relies on an external mailer service. The site appears moderately optimized for mobile devices and has a clean, consistent branding style. However, there is no evidence of advanced frameworks, CMS platforms, or performance optimization beyond basic standards. From a security perspective, the site lacks critical security headers and does not provide privacy or cookie policies, which are essential for GDPR compliance and user trust. The contact form is the sole method of communication, with no direct emails or phone numbers listed. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is available, which may pose risks in case of security incidents. Overall, the website demonstrates a basic but functional online presence with moderate professionalism. The absence of key compliance documents and security best practices suggests room for significant improvement to enhance trustworthiness 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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

GKFX positions itself as a financial services provider in the Forex and CFD trading sector, targeting retail traders. The business model is centered on online trading services, likely generating revenue through spreads, commissions, or trading fees. The lack of detailed company information, regulatory licenses, or certifications limits the ability to assess market positioning or competitive advantages. The website's minimal content and absence of social proof or trust signals suggest a nascent or low-profile operation. No partnerships or subsidiaries are indicated, and no direct contact details are provided, which may impact customer confidence and growth potential.

Security posture

The current security posture of the GKFX website is basic and lacks several important elements. The absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection increases exposure to common web vulnerabilities. The site does not provide privacy or cookie policies, which are critical for compliance with data protection regulations like GDPR. The use of external services for email handling introduces dependency risks, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are in place. While the contact form includes client-side validation, there is no indication of server-side security measures or encryption enforcement. These gaps represent moderate security risks that should be addressed to protect user data and maintain regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users about data handling.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common attacks.
  4. Provide direct company contact information including verified emails and phone numbers to improve trust and communication.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact channels to enhance security readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a simple technical stack with JavaScript, CSS, and SVG for graphics. It integrates EmailJS for email form submissions and uses an external mailer endpoint. There is no evidence of a CMS or advanced frameworks. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and has basic SEO meta tags but lacks structured data or Open Graph tags. Performance appears average with no explicit optimization techniques detected. The absence of security headers and HTTPS enforcement are notable technical risks. The site could benefit from modernization including adoption of a CMS, improved SEO practices, and enhanced security configurations.
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.
