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

3 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.

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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.

    • 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

Bitso operates in the finance and technology sectors, focusing on cryptocurrency exchange and financial services. Its business model revolves around providing crypto trading, investment tools, and payment solutions to individuals and businesses. The company benefits from a large user base and significant transaction volumes, indicating strong market penetration and growth potential. Partnerships and regulatory compliance enhance its credibility. The platform's multi-country presence and localized licenses support its expansion strategy. Bitso's integration of advanced analytics and marketing tools suggests a data-driven approach to customer engagement and retention. The absence of explicit contact information for security or support on the main site may indicate reliance on dedicated support portals or internal channels.

Security posture

Bitso exhibits a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS, domain registration protections, and reputable hosting infrastructure. The presence of regulatory licenses and proof of reserves adds to its trustworthiness. However, the lack of DNSSEC and publicly available security policies or incident response contacts represents areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The use of modern frameworks and libraries reduces the risk of outdated or vulnerable components. Overall, Bitso appears security-conscious but could enhance transparency around incident response and vulnerability disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing frameworks, controls, and incident response procedures.
  3. Provide explicit contact channels for security incidents, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance contact information visibility for customer support and compliance inquiries to improve trust and accessibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based framework (Next.js), ensuring server-side rendering and good SEO performance. It uses Cloudflare for DNS and likely CDN, enhancing performance and security. The integration of multiple analytics and marketing tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with proper meta tags and Open Graph data for social sharing. Performance is fast with preloading of fonts and scripts. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or headless architecture. The domain is well-protected with registrar-level status flags. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a scalable, secure, and user-friendly platform.
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.
