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

Bitpanda is a prominent European online brokerage platform specializing in a wide range of investment products including cryptocurrencies, stocks, ETFs, precious metals, and leverage trading. The platform targets retail investors and crypto enthusiasts across Europe, offering easy access to trading starting from as low as 1 euro. Bitpanda positions itself as a leading broker with a comprehensive suite of services including savings plans, staking, and educational resources to empower users. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, ensuring fast performance, mobile optimization, and good SEO practices. The use of analytics tools like RudderStack indicates a mature digital infrastructure. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS, employs multiple security headers, and shows no visible vulnerabilities, reflecting a strong security posture. However, the absence of publicly available WHOIS data and direct company contact details slightly reduces transparency. Overall, Bitpanda presents a professional, trustworthy, and compliant online presence suitable for its financial services business.

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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  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. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Bitpanda operates in the competitive European fintech and brokerage market, leveraging its multi-asset platform to attract a broad customer base interested in both traditional and digital assets. Its business model combines brokerage fees, staking rewards, and premium services like Bitpanda Wealth and Custody solutions for institutional clients. The company maintains a strong brand with consistent messaging and a clear focus on innovation, including Web3 initiatives and crypto indices. Partnerships and subsidiary domains such as custody.bitpanda.com and account.bitpanda.com support its ecosystem. The presence of an affiliate program and referral incentives indicates active marketing strategies. Bitpanda's market position as a leading European broker is supported by its comprehensive product offering and regulatory compliance, including ISO 27001 certification.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, robust security headers, and no detected exposure of sensitive data. The use of modern frameworks reduces common vulnerabilities, and the absence of outdated or vulnerable libraries is a positive indicator. However, the lack of a publicly disclosed security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency in security governance. The presence of a data protection officer contact and GDPR-compliant privacy policies reflects good data protection practices. To further enhance security posture, Bitpanda should consider publishing explicit security policies and providing direct security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website.
  2. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or bug bounty program to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Enhance transparency by providing direct security contact emails such as security@bitpanda.com or abuse@bitpanda.com.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Update WHOIS registration details to improve domain transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

Bitpanda's website is built on a modern technology stack featuring React and Next.js, enabling server-side rendering and optimized performance. The site uses external services such as RudderStack for analytics and Google Fonts for typography. The design is responsive and mobile-optimized, with good accessibility and SEO practices evident from meta tags and structured data. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified, but the use of CDN domains suggests a distributed content delivery approach. Performance is fast with deferred script loading and preloading of fonts. The technical implementation supports a professional user experience with minimal technical debt visible in the HTML content.
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.
