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

Cryptex is a cryptocurrency exchange platform offering secure and user-friendly services for buying, selling, and exchanging popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Ripple. The platform targets both beginners and professional traders, providing an intuitive interface and immediate account funding options. The website demonstrates a consistent branding approach and basic content quality, though it lacks comprehensive privacy and cookie policies. Technically, the site is built on modern technologies like React and uses Google Analytics for tracking, but suffers from slow load times and lacks a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical security concern. The absence of essential security headers and incomplete privacy compliance further impact its security posture. Overall, while the business model and market positioning are clear, the platform requires significant improvements in security and privacy to enhance trust and compliance.

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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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

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

Cryptex operates in the finance and technology sectors as a cryptocurrency exchange. It leverages a business model focused on low commissions and high security, including two-factor authentication. The platform integrates with WebMoney for account top-ups, indicating a partnership or service relationship. The target audience includes both novice and experienced cryptocurrency traders. The website content and structure suggest a medium-sized operation with a focus on user experience and support. However, the lack of explicit contact information and limited transparency on privacy and security policies may affect user trust and regulatory compliance. The use of Google Analytics and Tag Manager indicates an interest in user behavior analysis and marketing optimization.

Security posture

The security posture of Cryptex is currently weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of modern TLS protocols, exposing users to potential data interception risks. No security headers such as HSTS or Content-Security-Policy are implemented, and there is no evidence of OCSP stapling or session resumption, which are best practices for SSL performance and security. The site mentions two-factor authentication, which is a positive security measure. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response contact channels limits transparency and preparedness for security incidents. These gaps present significant risks, especially given the sensitive nature of cryptocurrency trading.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate supporting modern protocols (TLS 1.2 or 1.3) to secure all communications.
  2. Implement essential security headers including HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  4. Provide clear and accessible contact information including support and security incident response channels.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate potential risks.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React and standard web technologies such as JavaScript and CSS, indicating a modern tech stack. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. The site has a slow load time of approximately 6.9 seconds, which may impact user experience and SEO. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements detected. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of security headers are significant technical shortcomings. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified but DNS records point to IP 185.109.48.91 and nameservers under galleryvalery.com. The site lacks a CMS indication and appears to be a custom-built platform. Overall, the technical implementation is moderate but requires improvements in security and performance optimization.
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.
