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

The website represents FXall, a comprehensive electronic FX trading platform operated by the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG). It offers a full suite of FX trading services including spot, forwards, swaps, NDFs, and options with access to a broad liquidity pool and post-trade processing capabilities. The platform targets institutional clients such as asset managers, hedge funds, corporates, and banks, positioning itself as a leading solution in the FX electronic trading market. The site is professionally designed, well-branded, and provides rich content and resources to support its users. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies including jQuery, Adobe Experience Manager CMS, Adobe DTM for tag management, and Qualtrics for user feedback and analytics. The site is mobile optimized, accessible, and SEO friendly. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced, secure login mechanisms, and no visible vulnerabilities. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, though direct contact emails and phone numbers are not publicly listed, relying instead on a secure contact form. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure and a strong security posture appropriate for a financial services platform. The absence of WHOIS data is noted but likely due to privacy or registrar restrictions and does not detract from the site's legitimacy given the strong brand and trust indicators. The platform is well-positioned in the market with a clear business model and target audience. Strategic recommendations include enhancing visible security disclosures such as incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure policies, and providing direct contact information to improve user trust and support accessibility.

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. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Potential Subdomain Takeover

      Subdomain dev.lseg.com points to unregistered service d3b5y5x27s9vl6.cloudfront.net

      What to do: Remove or fix CNAME record to prevent subdomain takeover

      • WSTG-CONF-10
      • NIS2 21(2)(i)
      • IR 2024/2690 12.4: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 12.4: Asset inventory

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

FXall operates as a critical FX trading venue within the LSEG ecosystem, serving a global institutional client base. Its competitive advantages include deep liquidity access, multi-asset FX trading capabilities, and integrated post-trade services. The business model is B2B SaaS with revenue likely derived from trading fees, subscriptions, and clearing services. The platform supports compliance with major regulations like Dodd-Frank and MiFID II, enhancing its appeal to regulated entities. Partnerships with liquidity providers and integration with LSEG's broader capital markets infrastructure strengthen its market position. Growth indicators include extensive client and liquidity provider counts and continuous product innovation such as algorithmic trading and workflow tools.

Security posture

The website exhibits a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, use of secure login services, and inclusion of CSRF protection scripts. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, indicating strong data protection practices. However, the site lacks visible incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are recommended best practices for transparency and rapid response. The absence of WHOIS data is a minor concern but likely due to privacy protection rather than malicious intent. Overall, the security posture is robust and suitable for a financial services platform handling sensitive trading data.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit security headers and confirm their presence via server scans.
  2. Add a dedicated security or incident response page with contact details for reporting issues.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers to improve user trust and support.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, leveraging jQuery and Adobe DTM for analytics and tag management, and Qualtrics for user feedback. The site is well-structured with semantic HTML, responsive design, and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in image loading and script management. The use of modern analytics and marketing tools indicates a mature digital marketing strategy. No technical debt or deprecated technologies were observed. Opportunities exist to enhance security disclosures and streamline form validation for improved user experience.
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.
