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

FalconX operates as the largest institutional digital asset prime brokerage, providing trading, financing, custody, and liquidity services to leading financial institutions globally. The company leverages advanced technologies including machine learning to aggregate liquidity from over 70 venues, offering superior execution and access to 94% of global digital asset liquidity. Their target audience is institutional investors and financial institutions, positioning FalconX as a market leader in the crypto prime brokerage space. Technically, the website is built on Webflow CMS and employs modern analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Twitter UWT. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement, Cloudflare Turnstile captcha for bot protection, and a cookie consent mechanism with opt-in functionality. The site demonstrates excellent design quality, mobile optimization, and accessibility, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is strong with appropriate security headers and SSL configuration, though the absence of explicit privacy policy and terms of service pages represents a compliance gap. WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy protection, which is typical for financial services firms but slightly reduces transparency. Overall, the site is safe, professional, and trustworthy with no adult or questionable content. Strategically, FalconX should prioritize publishing comprehensive privacy and terms policies, enhance contact transparency, and formalize incident response and vulnerability disclosure processes to further strengthen compliance and trust.

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. 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

  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

FalconX holds a dominant position in the institutional crypto prime brokerage market, serving over 600 institutions with a trading volume exceeding $1.5 trillion. Their business model focuses on providing deep liquidity access, bespoke trade execution, and a suite of services including derivatives, financing, ETF solutions, and FX trading. The launch of their GenAI platform 'Focal' indicates innovation and expansion into AI-driven insights for institutional investors. The company’s partnership ecosystem includes integrations with major liquidity venues and use of leading analytics platforms. Growth indicators include extensive liquidity coverage and a broad token offering. The company’s operations reflect a focus on institutional-grade security, compliance, and technology-driven service delivery.

Security posture

FalconX demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, strong security headers, and bot mitigation via Cloudflare Turnstile captcha. The use of cookie consent with opt-in aligns with privacy best practices. However, the lack of publicly accessible privacy policy, terms of service, and incident response information indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The WHOIS privacy protection is justified but limits external verification. Overall, the security culture appears proactive but would benefit from enhanced documentation and communication of security policies and incident handling.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Add explicit security incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, including contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  3. Provide verified company contact emails and phone numbers to improve transparency and customer trust.
  4. Implement structured data markup (JSON-LD) for business and contact information to enhance SEO and trust signals.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential security risks.
Site observations

Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Cloudflare detected. Presence of Cloudflare Turnstile captcha script and minimal WHOIS data response indicate WAF protection and partial content blocking. These observations may be incomplete. For a fuller analysis, contact guard@offseq.com.

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.
