75/100

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

CoinsPaid Media is a specialized media platform delivering up-to-date cryptocurrency market news, educational content, and industry event coverage. It operates under the parent company CoinsPaid, focusing on the fintech and Web3 sectors. The platform targets crypto enthusiasts, investors, and professionals seeking timely insights and educational resources. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with common plugins like Yoast SEO and Search Filter Pro, optimized with WP Rocket, and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. However, the site suffers from a critical security shortfall due to an invalid or missing SSL certificate, which undermines user trust and data security. While privacy and terms of service pages are present and GDPR compliance appears addressed, no cookie consent mechanism or explicit security policies are found. The social media presence is robust, supporting community engagement and brand visibility.

Priority findings

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

The company positions itself as a key media player in the cryptocurrency and fintech information space, leveraging its parent company CoinsPaid's reputation. Its business model revolves around content creation, education, and event promotion within the crypto ecosystem. The platform's partnerships with crypto payment gateways like CryptoProcessing enhance its market relevance. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a focus on digital engagement channels and social media. Growth indicators include frequent content updates and a diversified content portfolio covering news, columns, and educational materials. Strategic partnerships and a clear brand identity support its competitive advantage in a crowded media landscape.

Security posture

The current security posture is moderate but with significant gaps. The lack of a valid SSL certificate is a critical vulnerability that exposes users to potential data interception and undermines trust. Absence of advanced security headers and no DNSSEC or CAA records further weaken the security framework. The site does not provide a security policy or incident response contact, limiting transparency and preparedness for security incidents. GDPR compliance is addressed via privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing, which may pose compliance risks. Overall, the security culture appears basic, with room for substantial improvement to meet industry best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate immediately to secure all user connections.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure page or security.txt file.
  4. Add comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  5. Enable DNSSEC and CAA records to enhance DNS and certificate security.

Notes

The website uses a standard WordPress CMS with popular SEO and filtering plugins, supported by jQuery and optimized with WP Rocket for performance. Google Tag Manager is integrated for analytics and marketing. Hosting appears to be on a VPS or dedicated server running nginx. Despite optimization efforts, performance metrics are not reported, but inferred as slow due to missing load time data and large page size. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive images and language options. Technical debt includes the lack of valid SSL and missing modern security configurations. Opportunities exist to modernize security infrastructure and improve performance 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.
