Risk levelMedium

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

Dukascoin.com is the official website for Dukascoin (DUK+), a cryptocurrency project issued by Dukascopy Bank, a reputable Swiss financial institution. The site promotes the cryptocurrency with features such as free initial coins, staking rewards, and integrated banking services including multi-currency accounts and crypto lending. The business model leverages the trust and regulatory compliance of a Swiss bank to position Dukascoin as a credible crypto asset in the finance sector. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies including jQuery and Google Analytics, hosted on AWS infrastructure, with a moderate performance and good mobile optimization. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled and domain locked with multiple prohibitions, though DNSSEC is not enabled and some security headers are missing. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy disclosures and security policies.

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.

Priority findings

4 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, YouTube, Cloudflare

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

The project targets cryptocurrency investors and clients of Dukascopy Bank seeking a Swiss bank-backed crypto asset. Its competitive advantage lies in the bank's reputation and regulatory compliance. Revenue streams likely include crypto trading fees, staking programs, and lending services. The ecosystem includes partnerships with crypto exchanges and P2P marketplaces. Growth indicators include domain age consistent with project timeline and integration with established banking services. Strategic observations suggest focusing on transparency and compliance to strengthen market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain registration locked against unauthorized changes. However, the lack of DNSSEC, missing security.txt, and absence of privacy and cookie policies indicate compliance gaps. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Incident response readiness is unclear due to missing contact channels for security issues. The security culture appears basic but could be improved with formal policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies aligned with GDPR requirements.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts to improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern but simple tech stack centered on jQuery and Google Tag Manager for analytics and marketing. Hosting on AWS provides reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile optimized and has good navigation and design quality. However, SEO and accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or static site approach. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and incomplete security headers which could be addressed to improve resilience.
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.
