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

Cryptobrokers.fr is a French-language platform specializing in monitoring and comparing electronic currency and cryptocurrency exchange rates. It provides users with tools to find optimal exchange rates, evaluate exchangers based on client reviews, and perform quick financial transfers. The website is part of a multilingual network with sister sites in Russian, English, Spanish, German, and Chinese, indicating a broad international reach within the electronic currency exchange niche. The business model is based on providing a monitoring service without direct cooperation with exchangers, relying on transparency and user-generated feedback to build trust. Technically, the site is built on WordPress, leveraging common plugins such as Yoast SEO, Google Analytics, Yandex Metrika, and Google reCAPTCHA for security and analytics. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with a modern tech stack but some room for improvement in security headers and privacy compliance. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and reCAPTCHA integration, but lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. Privacy compliance is weak due to absence of privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Contact information is not explicitly provided, which may affect user trust. Overall, the site is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced transparency in privacy and security policies, improved contact availability, and implementation of security best practices to strengthen user 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

12 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.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  4. 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Business profile

Cryptobrokers.fr occupies a niche in the finance sector focused on electronic currency exchange monitoring. Its competitive advantage lies in its multilingual presence and comprehensive listing of exchange options, including cryptocurrencies, electronic money, bank services, and cash transfers. The platform targets individual users and possibly small businesses seeking reliable exchange services with minimal loss. Revenue likely derives from advertising and referral traffic to exchangers. The absence of direct cooperation with exchangers reduces liability but also limits control over service quality. The partnership ecosystem includes sister sites in multiple languages, enhancing market reach. Growth indicators include frequent content updates and active social media channels. Strategically, the company should focus on building trust through transparency, adding verified contact channels, and expanding compliance documentation to attract more users and partners.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communication. Integration of Google reCAPTCHA helps mitigate automated abuse. However, the lack of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No visible incident response or security policy pages limit transparency and preparedness. There is no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which is a gap in responsible security practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Compliance with GDPR is not clearly demonstrated due to missing privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness appears minimal with no dedicated contact channels. Overall, the security culture seems basic but functional, with room for significant improvement to meet industry standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies including GDPR compliance details and implement a cookie consent mechanism.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  3. Implement security HTTP headers such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection.
  4. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Provide clear and accessible contact information including company emails and phone numbers to improve trust and user support.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern and widely supported technology stack including jQuery, DataTables, Google Analytics, Yandex Metrika, and Google reCAPTCHA. The site uses Yoast SEO plugin for search engine optimization and has multilingual support via Polylang plugin. The infrastructure appears stable with no critical technical debt visible in the HTML content. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and use of CDN-hosted libraries. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO meta tags are properly configured. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with ARIA roles and better semantic markup. Hosting provider is not explicitly identified beyond the registrar KEY-SYSTEMS GmbH. Overall, the technical implementation supports the business needs but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and accessibility improvements.
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.
