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

Dukascopy Bank operates a specialized crypto services platform offering clients the ability to buy, sell, store, and trade cryptocurrencies, including their proprietary Dukascoin. The bank leverages its Swiss regulatory status and FINMA authorization to provide fiduciary custody and blockchain operations, positioning itself as a pioneer in regulated crypto banking. The website reflects a mature digital infrastructure with integration of Google Tag Manager and AWS hosting, delivering a professional and mobile-optimized user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and domain protections, though improvements such as DNSSEC and explicit security policies are recommended. Privacy compliance is currently weak due to absence of visible privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is trustworthy and well-branded but would benefit from enhanced transparency and security disclosures.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  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 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

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

Dukascopy Bank targets crypto-savvy clients seeking regulated banking services integrated with blockchain technology. Its business model combines traditional banking with crypto asset management, leveraging proprietary tokens and marketplaces to create unique revenue streams. The bank's partnerships with its own crypto exchange, P2P platform, and proprietary coin issuance enhance its competitive advantage. Market positioning is strong within Swiss financial services, appealing to clients valuing security and regulatory compliance. Growth indicators include recent FINMA authorization and expansion of crypto custody services. The ecosystem includes multiple related domains supporting various crypto services, indicating a broad operational footprint.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain status protections preventing unauthorized transfers or updates. However, the lack of DNSSEC and absence of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate gaps in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The use of Google Tag Manager introduces moderate tracking but no direct security risks were identified. Compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations is not clearly demonstrated, which could pose regulatory risks. Incident response mechanisms and vulnerability disclosure policies are not publicly available, limiting trust for security researchers and clients.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Add clear contact information including security incident response and abuse contacts.
  4. Implement and publish security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Develop and disclose a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager and Google Fonts, hosted on AWS infrastructure as indicated by DNS nameservers. The HTML content is well-structured with responsive design elements for mobile optimization. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data, enhancing social media sharing. However, no CMS or common frameworks were explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The site lacks some advanced security configurations such as DNSSEC and security headers, which are recommended for a financial services platform.
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.
