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

Crypto Exchange is a cryptocurrency trading platform established in 2011, offering services such as buying, selling, and trading major cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin and Ethereum. The platform also provides escrow services and a marketplace for crypto-related transactions, targeting both novice and experienced users globally. The website is well-structured with a focus on ease of use, supported by a learning center and 24/7 customer support. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript frameworks (Vue.js) and integrates third-party services like Freshchat and Google Analytics, hosted with Cloudflare DNS. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and domain transfer protections, though DNSSEC is not enabled and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but lacking explicit GDPR compliance indicators and no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and provides a solid user experience with room for improvement in security transparency and privacy 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

5 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 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

  3. 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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

The company operates in the finance and technology sectors, focusing on cryptocurrency exchange and escrow services. Its business model revolves around transaction fees and value-added services such as escrow and marketplace facilitation. The platform targets a broad audience of crypto traders worldwide, emphasizing ease of use and support for beginners. The domain age and registration details support a mature and stable market presence. The integration of APIs and developer tools indicates a strategy to attract institutional and developer users. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers suggests a preference for managed support channels. The company leverages partnerships with third-party chat and analytics providers but does not publicly disclose certifications or security accreditations.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses clientTransferProhibited domain status to prevent unauthorized domain transfers, indicating a baseline security awareness. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. No security headers were detected in the HTML content, and there is no published security policy or incident response contact information, which are gaps in transparency and preparedness. The site uses CSRF tokens in forms, which is a positive security control. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting external security reporting. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be enhanced by adopting DNSSEC, publishing security policies, and implementing security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS integrity and security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement and verify HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Introduce a cookie consent mechanism to improve privacy compliance and user transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Vue.js, a modern JavaScript framework, and integrates multiple CSS stylesheets for UI and marketplace features. It uses Cloudflare for DNS services, enhancing availability and performance. Third-party integrations include Freshchat for customer support and Google Analytics for traffic analysis. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements and preloaded fonts for performance. JavaScript files are modular and versioned, indicating active maintenance. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. Performance is moderate, with no critical errors or broken elements detected. The lack of CMS detection suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and functional but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and security header implementations.
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.
