Risk levelMedium

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

Crypto Finance AG, part of the Deutsche Börse Group, operates a regulated and integrated platform enabling financial institutions to securely manage, trade, and store digital assets. The company holds regulatory licenses from FINMA and BaFin and is compliant with the upcoming MiCAR regulation, positioning itself as a market leader in Switzerland, Germany, and Europe. The website reflects a professional and trustworthy brand with detailed executive profiles and clear service offerings including custody, trading, and staking of digital assets. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and SEO optimizations, hosted on Azure CDN, and employs Google Tag Manager for analytics. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities, though the absence of a public vulnerability disclosure or incident response contact is noted. The WHOIS data is missing, which raises some transparency concerns, but the overall trust signals from regulation and parent company affiliation mitigate this risk. The site is fully accessible with no WAF or blocking mechanisms detected.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 13 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

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

Crypto Finance AG targets institutional financial clients, offering regulated digital asset services that include custody, trading, and staking. Its affiliation with Deutsche Börse Group and regulatory compliance provide competitive advantages and trustworthiness. The business model focuses on serving financial institutions in Switzerland, Germany, and broader Europe, leveraging licenses to operate cross-border. The company maintains a professional online presence with executive leadership transparency and recruitment integration via Workable. The platform's integrated approach and regulatory adherence position it well for growth in the evolving digital asset market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, multiple security headers, and no exposed sensitive data. Use of reputable third-party services like Google Tag Manager and Workable is evident, though continuous monitoring of third-party scripts is recommended. The lack of a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file and absence of explicit incident response contacts are gaps that could be addressed to enhance security transparency and readiness. Overall, the site aligns with best practices for a regulated financial services provider.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a public vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact information for security issues.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Maintain up-to-date WHOIS information to improve domain transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Elementor and Yoast SEO plugins, ensuring good SEO and content management capabilities. Hosting is via Azure CDN, providing reliable performance and scalability. The site uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The technical stack is well-suited for a professional financial services website but could benefit from enhanced accessibility and continuous security 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.
