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

BTCC is a well-established cryptocurrency exchange specializing in leveraged crypto futures trading, with a market presence dating back to 2011. The platform offers high leverage (up to 500x) on Bitcoin and Ethereum USDT perpetual contracts and supports trading of over 300 cryptocurrencies. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and provides multi-language support, targeting crypto traders globally. The business model focuses on margin trading with low fees and institutional-grade security claims. Technically, BTCC employs modern web technologies including Next.js, React, and integrates multiple analytics and advertising tools such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Facebook Pixel. The site demonstrates good performance, SEO, and accessibility standards. Security best practices are observed with HTTPS enforcement and security headers, although explicit security policies and incident response details are not publicly disclosed. The security posture is strong overall, but the absence of WHOIS domain registration data introduces some uncertainty regarding domain legitimacy. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, supporting user data protection. Overall, BTCC presents a credible and professional online presence in the crypto trading industry. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security and incident response policies, establishing a vulnerability disclosure program, and improving transparency on domain registration to enhance trustworthiness.

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

6 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

  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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube

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

BTCC holds a competitive position as one of the longest-running crypto exchanges, leveraging its history and institutional-grade security claims to attract traders. Its business model centers on leveraged futures trading with a broad cryptocurrency offering and low fees, appealing to active and professional traders. The platform's multi-language support and extensive marketing efforts via major ad networks and analytics tools indicate a global growth strategy. However, the lack of publicly available company contact details and domain registration transparency could be improved to strengthen business credibility and customer trust.

Security posture

BTCC demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement, comprehensive security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of reputable third-party analytics and advertising services is balanced with privacy compliance measures including cookie consent and GDPR-aligned privacy policies. The absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program represents a gap in transparency and readiness communication. No critical vulnerabilities were identified, but enhancing these areas would improve overall security maturity and stakeholder confidence.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a detailed security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or bug bounty program to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Improve domain registration transparency by ensuring WHOIS data is publicly available or verifiable.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security and privacy inquiries, including a data protection officer if applicable.
  5. Regularly audit and minimize third-party scripts to reduce potential attack surface and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based framework (Next.js) with server-side rendering for performance and SEO benefits. Integration of TradingView charting libraries supports advanced trading features. The site is mobile-optimized and employs multiple CSS stylesheets for responsive design. Analytics and marketing tools are extensively used, indicating a sophisticated digital marketing infrastructure. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Performance is fast with good accessibility and SEO optimizations. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring.
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.
