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

BX Swiss operates as a Swiss regulated stock exchange with a long historical legacy dating back to 1884. The website presents a professional platform offering market data, trading information, and tools for investors and financial professionals. The company targets investors and market participants primarily within Switzerland but also offers access to international shares and ETFs. The business model centers on providing regulated trading services and market infrastructure under FINMA supervision. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries including SignalR for real-time data, Google Analytics for tracking, and Swiper.js for UI components. The site is mobile optimized, accessible, and SEO friendly, though some improvements in security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are recommended. Performance is moderate with a clean and professional design. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of security headers and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts represent areas for enhancement. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no explicit cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, though the lack of WHOIS registration data introduces some uncertainty about domain legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include improving security headers, implementing cookie consent, publishing security and incident response policies, and verifying domain registration transparency.

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 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

  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 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.

Business context

Business profile

BX Swiss holds a niche position as a Swiss regulated stock exchange, leveraging its historical establishment to maintain credibility. Its competitive advantage lies in its regulatory oversight by FINMA and its comprehensive market offerings including shares, ETFs, ETPs, and derivatives. Revenue streams likely include trading fees, listing fees, and market data sales. The target customer segments are institutional and retail investors, trading members, and issuers. Growth indicators include partnerships with platforms like BX plus and Leonteq. The company ecosystem includes related domains for prospectus review and market knowledge platforms, indicating a broad service offering beyond trading. Strategically, BX Swiss benefits from its Swiss regulatory environment and diversified product offerings but should address transparency in domain registration and enhance digital security policies to strengthen market trust.

Security posture

The security maturity level of BX Swiss's website is moderate to good. HTTPS is properly enforced, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a notable gap. There is no visible security.txt or vulnerability disclosure policy, which limits transparency for security researchers. Privacy compliance is partial, with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Incident response readiness is not publicly documented. Overall, the site demonstrates basic security hygiene but would benefit from enhanced security controls, transparency, and compliance measures to align with best practices and regulatory expectations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and preparedness.
  4. Consider creating and publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Verify and disclose domain registration details to align with regulatory transparency and reduce legitimacy concerns.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front end with real-time data updates via SignalR hubs, indicating a dynamic and interactive trading platform. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for user behavior tracking. The site loads CSS and JS resources from a dedicated subdomain (components.bxswiss.com), suggesting a modular asset delivery approach. The HTML is well structured with accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading. No CMS is explicitly detected, implying a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Opportunities exist to improve technical SEO and security header implementation to reduce technical risks and enhance user trust.
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.
