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

FxPro UK Limited operates a comprehensive online trading platform offering forex and CFD trading services globally. The company is well-established since 2006 and regulated by multiple top-tier authorities including the FCA, CySEC, FSCA, and SCB, which enhances its credibility and trustworthiness. The website provides a rich set of trading instruments, award-winning platforms, and extensive educational resources targeting retail and institutional traders worldwide. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies such as React, integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools, and is hosted on a reliable cloud infrastructure with strong performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is robust with HTTPS enforcement, modern security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities, although the absence of a public vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact details are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data for the domain www.fxpro.co.uk is unavailable due to domain registration rules, indicating the domain is likely a subdomain or alias, which slightly reduces trust but does not detract significantly from the overall legitimacy given the strong regulatory and business information presented.

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

5 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
    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google Ads

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  3. 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

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

FxPro holds a strong market position as a global forex and CFD broker with a diversified product offering including forex, futures, indices, metals, energies, shares, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies. The company targets a broad audience from retail traders to institutional clients, leveraging multiple trading platforms and mobile apps to enhance accessibility. Its business model is based on providing trading execution, liquidity, and value-added services such as educational content and trading tools. The presence of multiple subsidiaries and partner domains indicates a well-structured corporate and operational ecosystem. The company’s extensive regulatory licenses and capital base ($120M+) provide competitive advantages and trust signals in a highly regulated industry. The marketing and advertising strategy is comprehensive, utilizing multiple ad networks and tracking technologies to reach and engage its target audience effectively.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure handling of user inputs and forms. The use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing scripts is balanced with privacy compliance mechanisms including cookie consent and detailed privacy policies. However, the lack of a publicly visible security policy, incident response contact, and vulnerability disclosure program suggests room for enhancement in transparency and readiness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The security score is high, reflecting good practices but recommending improvements in incident response visibility and formal vulnerability disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and frameworks.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and minimize third-party scripts to reduce attack surface.
  5. Maintain continuous SSL/TLS configuration reviews and updates.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React framework with extensive use of JavaScript libraries and third-party analytics tools. Hosting is on Microsoft Azure CDN ensuring fast global delivery and scalability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is well implemented with proper meta tags, structured data (JSON-LD), and multilingual support. The technical implementation is robust, supporting a complex trading platform ecosystem with multiple account types and instruments. Opportunities exist to reduce technical debt by streamlining third-party dependencies and enhancing 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.
