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

2 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.

    • 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

  2. 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

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

CryptoTicker maintains a strong market position as a medium-sized technology company based in Germany, founded in 2017. It leverages content quality and community engagement to differentiate itself in the competitive crypto news space. The platform's affiliate partnerships and premium Discord community provide diversified revenue streams. Social media presence on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Discord supports brand visibility and user engagement. The company shows consistent branding and transparent domain registration, enhancing credibility. However, direct contact details like emails or phone numbers are not publicly listed, relying on contact forms instead.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, domain transfer protection, and cookie consent compliance. However, it lacks explicit published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of third-party scripts like Google Tag Manager and AdRoll is balanced with privacy compliance via Cookiebot. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from formalized policies and additional DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Implement and explicitly report security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Consider providing direct company contact emails or phone numbers for improved transparency and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js stack, leveraging server-side rendering and CDN delivery for fast performance. It uses multiple asynchronous scripts for analytics, advertising, and push notifications, including Google Tag Manager, AdRoll, and PushEngage. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is well addressed with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter cards. The technical implementation is robust, with no visible technical debt or performance bottlenecks in the analyzed content.
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.
