The company is well-regulated across multiple jurisdictions including the UK (FCA), Cyprus (CySEC), South Africa (FSCA), and the Bahamas (SCB), which reinforces its market credibility.

Technically, the site employs modern web technologies such as React and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools, ensuring a robust digital presence with fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. Security measures are strong, with HTTPS enforcement and comprehensive security headers, though no public vulnerability disclosure or incident response contact is evident.

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

Business profile

FxPro holds a strong position in the online forex brokerage market, leveraging multiple regulatory licenses to serve retail and institutional clients worldwide. Its business model focuses on providing access to a broad range of financial instruments through award-winning platforms and mobile apps. The company benefits from a diversified product offering, including forex, shares, indices, metals, energies, futures, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies. Its global footprint is supported by numerous localized domains and multilingual support, enhancing market penetration. The presence of over 125 industry awards and a large client base indicates sustained growth and competitive advantage. Partnerships and subsidiaries such as FxPro Financial Services Ltd and FxPro Global Markets Ltd further consolidate its market presence. The company’s marketing ecosystem is sophisticated, utilizing advanced analytics and retargeting technologies to optimize customer acquisition and retention.

Security posture

FxPro demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, modern security headers, and encrypted data handling practices. The website does not expose sensitive information in its HTML content and employs secure form validation. The integration of multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts is managed carefully, though continuous monitoring is recommended to mitigate risks from third-party vulnerabilities. The absence of a public vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file suggests an area for improvement in transparency and incident response readiness. Overall, the security measures align well with industry best practices for a financial services website, supporting customer trust and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicize a formal vulnerability disclosure or bug bounty program to enhance security transparency and community engagement.
  2. Add explicit incident response contact information or security-specific communication channels to improve responsiveness to security events.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to minimize exposure to vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance visibility and accessibility of security and privacy policies to reinforce user trust.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file to align with emerging web security standards and facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack featuring React for frontend rendering and integrates numerous analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Amplitude, Yandex Metrica, and Facebook Pixel. Hosting appears to be on Microsoft Azure CDN infrastructure, supporting fast content delivery and scalability. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and accessibility, with valid HTML and CSS and comprehensive SEO metadata including JSON-LD structured data and Open Graph tags. The technical implementation supports a seamless user experience with fast loading times and clear navigation. No CMS platform was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. The use of multiple language-specific domains and regional versions indicates a sophisticated internationalization strategy. Technical risks are minimal but include the complexity of managing many third-party scripts and ensuring ongoing compliance with evolving privacy regulations.
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.
