Risk levelLow

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

Dukascopy Bank SA is a Swiss-based financial institution specializing in online forex, CFD, binary options, and cryptocurrency trading, complemented by retail and corporate banking services. With over 20 years of market presence, it offers a comprehensive suite of trading platforms including JForex, MetaTrader 4 and 5, and binary options platforms, targeting retail and institutional clients globally. The bank emphasizes Swiss-quality service, competitive spreads, and multi-currency account offerings, positioning itself as a leading Swiss forex broker and bank with a strong digital presence. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as SVG graphics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar analytics, and JSON-LD structured data for SEO. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and well-structured with clear navigation and multilingual support. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Security best practices are observed with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and consent management for cookies, though explicit security policies and incident response information are not prominently published. The security posture is strong with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is good, with GDPR-aligned cookie and privacy policies. However, the WHOIS data for the domain is missing or unavailable, which is unusual for a regulated financial entity and may indicate privacy protection or registrar issues. Despite this, the website content, branding, and regulatory disclosures support the legitimacy of the business. Overall, Dukascopy Bank SA's website reflects a mature, professional financial services provider with robust digital infrastructure and security practices. The main risk lies in the lack of transparent WHOIS data, which should be addressed to enhance trust and compliance visibility.

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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  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 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

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Dukascopy Bank SA operates in the competitive online brokerage and banking sector, leveraging Swiss banking reputation and regulatory compliance to attract global forex, CFD, and crypto traders. Its diversified business model includes retail trading accounts, wealth management, corporate banking, and B2B white label partnerships. The company maintains a strong ecosystem with multiple platforms and services, including proprietary and third-party trading software. Strategic partnerships with crypto platforms and payment services expand its market reach. The bank's longevity and awards indicate stable growth and market acceptance. The multilingual website and global office presence demonstrate a focus on international clients. Revenue streams likely include trading commissions, spreads, account fees, and banking service charges. The absence of direct contact emails and phone numbers on the public site suggests a controlled communication approach, possibly to mitigate unsolicited contacts and ensure compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR. No sensitive data leakage or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The use of Google Tag Manager and Hotjar is managed with consent controls. However, the absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency for security researchers and clients. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, which is a gap in modern security best practices. The missing WHOIS data raises concerns about domain registration transparency, which could impact trust. Overall, the site is secure for users but could improve in security communication and incident readiness disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and incident response procedures.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Disclose Data Protection Officer contact information to enhance GDPR compliance transparency.
  4. Review domain registration details to ensure WHOIS data is accurate and publicly available to improve trust.
  5. Optimize website performance and loading times to enhance user experience and SEO.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with SVG for graphics, JavaScript for interactivity, and JSON-LD for structured data enhancing SEO. Google Tag Manager and Hotjar are integrated for analytics and user behavior tracking with consent management. The site supports multiple languages and platforms, including proprietary and third-party trading software. Hosting details are not explicit, but performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom-built or proprietary platform. The technical implementation is robust but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced security transparency.
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.
