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

4 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 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 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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

  4. 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

Bitbank is positioned as a leading cryptocurrency exchange in Japan, holding the top share in domestic altcoin trading volume. Its business model revolves around providing a secure and user-friendly platform for buying, selling, and lending cryptocurrencies. Revenue streams likely include trading fees, margin interest, and lending services. The company targets retail and professional traders, offering advanced tools such as TradingView charts and API access. Partnerships with regulatory bodies and industry associations strengthen its market position. The presence of VIP programs indicates a focus on high-volume traders. The company maintains a strong brand presence and customer satisfaction as evidenced by awards and certifications.

Security posture

The security posture of the website is solid, with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling including reCAPTCHA. The company publishes detailed security and compliance policies, indicating a mature security culture. However, the absence of explicit HTTP security headers and a public incident response contact or vulnerability disclosure mechanism represents areas for improvement. No signs of vulnerabilities or data leaks were found. The extensive use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts suggests a need for ongoing privacy and security monitoring. Overall, the platform appears well-protected against common web threats but could benefit from enhanced transparency and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to harden the website against common attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated incident response contact email or page to improve transparency and facilitate security issue reporting.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure privacy compliance and minimize attack surface.
  5. Enhance user trust by providing more visible contact information including phone numbers or physical addresses where appropriate.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages Angular 11 as its primary framework, combined with Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for DOM manipulation. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools, including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Twitter tags, Microsoft Clarity, and Marketo Munchkin. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags and SEO optimizations, and is mobile-optimized with good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, likely due to the number of external scripts loaded. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The technical stack is modern and suitable for a high-traffic financial services website, though opportunities exist to optimize script loading and security headers.
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.
