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

8 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. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  3. 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

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

Exness operates in the competitive online brokerage sector, leveraging a multi-regulated status and a wide product offering to attract a diverse client base. Its business model focuses on providing accessible trading platforms, educational content, and social trading features, appealing to both novice and experienced traders. The company’s large monthly trading volume and multiple awards indicate strong market presence and customer satisfaction. Affiliate marketing is used to drive traffic and account openings. The lack of direct contact emails and phone numbers on the site suggests a focus on digital engagement and possibly centralized customer support through the main exness.com domain. The company’s global regulatory compliance and audit transparency are key competitive advantages.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is used, and domain registration protections are in place, but DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers were detected in the HTML content. Minor WordPress PHP warnings indicate some technical debt or plugin/theme misconfigurations. There is no visible incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy, which could be improved to enhance trust. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy present but no cookie consent mechanism. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities were detected, the site would benefit from enhanced security controls and clearer security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS.
  3. Resolve WordPress PHP notices by adjusting plugin/theme translation loading to the correct hook.
  4. Add a cookie policy and consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  5. Publish explicit security and incident response policies, including a vulnerability disclosure program.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin for optimization and uses jQuery and Google Fonts. Hosting details are not explicit but DNS is managed via Cloudflare. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and SEO with a clear navigation structure. Some technical debt is evident from PHP notices. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking. Performance is moderate, with no major issues noted. The site uses affiliate links to exness.com for monetization. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a content-driven affiliate site but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
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.
