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

Chexch.com is an established online platform specializing in monitoring electronic currency exchangers, including cryptocurrencies and various payment systems. Founded in 2015, it offers users a free and efficient service to find the most profitable exchange rates with real-time updates and user reviews. The website targets individuals and businesses seeking reliable and advantageous currency exchange options. Technically, the site uses a traditional jQuery-based stack with amCharts for data visualization and is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS services, ensuring decent performance and security. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. Security-wise, the site employs HTTPS and domain transfer protections but lacks advanced security headers and explicit privacy or cookie policies, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the domain's WHOIS data and website content indicate a legitimate and trustworthy service with moderate risk due to missing compliance documentation. Strategic recommendations include enhancing privacy compliance, implementing security headers, and providing clear contact and incident response information.

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

7 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

      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, YouTube

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

  2. 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

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

Chexch.com holds a solid market position as a currency exchange rate monitoring service, leveraging a large database of exchangers and currency pairs. Its business model revolves around providing free access to exchange rate data, user reviews, and calculators, likely monetized through affiliate links or advertising. The platform appeals to a broad audience interested in electronic money exchange, including cryptocurrencies, payment systems, and bank transfers. The presence of multiple languages and social media channels supports its outreach. The company demonstrates longevity and operational maturity with domain age over 8 years and active content updates. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not explicitly identified. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive data, real-time updates, and user trust signals such as reviews and reserves displayed.

Security posture

The website maintains a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is enforced, and the domain status clientTransferProhibited prevents unauthorized domain transfers. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces its defense-in-depth. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The site lacks explicit security policies or incident response contacts, which limits transparency and preparedness. Google Analytics is included but commented out, indicating cautious data collection practices. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for the business type but could be significantly improved by adopting modern security best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to protect against common web attacks.
  4. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for customer support and security incident reporting.
  5. Establish and disclose an incident response policy and contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails) to improve trust and compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a traditional jQuery-based frontend with jQuery UI and custom scrollbar plugins. It employs amCharts for graphical data representation. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS servers, which likely provide CDN and DDoS protection. Some JavaScript files and Google Analytics scripts are commented out, possibly for performance or privacy reasons. The HTML structure is well-formed with proper meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph). The site is mobile-optimized and has a clear navigation structure. However, the lack of modern frontend frameworks or CMS indicates potential technical debt and opportunities for modernization. Performance is moderate, with room for improvement by optimizing script loading and enabling caching strategies.
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.
