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

FreeCurrencyRates.com is an established online currency conversion service operated by MobileSoftJungle Ltd., founded in 2010. The website offers a comprehensive currency converter supporting 364 world currencies with hourly updated exchange rates and historical data. It targets a general audience including individuals and businesses needing currency conversion tools. The service is complemented by mobile apps and widgets, enhancing accessibility and user engagement. The website is multilingual, supporting many languages to cater to a global user base. Technically, the website uses a modern tech stack including JavaScript, jQuery, and Materialize CSS for UI components. It integrates analytics and advertising services such as Google Analytics and Yandex Metrika, and uses Yandex RTB for ad placements. Hosting and DNS are managed via Hurricane Electric's DNS servers. The site is mobile optimized and has good SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protection enabled. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers were detected in the provided data, indicating room for improvement. There is no published privacy or cookie policy, which is a compliance gap, especially under GDPR. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, limiting transparency in security management. Overall, the website is functional, professional, and trustworthy for currency conversion services but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance, improved security headers, and clearer contact and security policies to strengthen user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

7 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

The business operates in the finance and technology sectors, providing free online currency conversion tools. Its competitive advantage lies in extensive currency coverage, hourly rate updates, and multilingual support. Revenue likely derives from advertising via Yandex RTB and possibly premium app features or widgets. The target customers include individuals, travelers, businesses, and developers needing currency data. The company appears small but established with over a decade of operation. Partnerships with analytics and ad providers like Google and Yandex support its ecosystem. The business model focuses on free access with monetization through ads and value-added services.

Security posture

The security maturity is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and domain transfer protection is active, which are positive indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or Strict-Transport-Security reduces the overall security posture. No evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries was found. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates limited transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Compliance with GDPR is questionable due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is secure enough for general use but should improve in policy transparency and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and inform users.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve browser security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response and vulnerability disclosure channels.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a JavaScript-heavy front end with jQuery and Materialize CSS for UI components. It loads multiple external scripts for analytics and advertising, including Google Analytics and Yandex Metrika. The site is mobile responsive and supports multiple languages via hreflang tags. Hosting details are limited but DNS is managed by Hurricane Electric. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous script loading and preconnect hints to optimize resource fetching. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and privacy compliance are needed to reduce risks.
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.
