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

FXStreet is a well-established online platform providing real-time forex market news, analysis, exchange rates, and educational resources. It serves a global audience of forex traders, investors, and financial analysts, positioning itself as a leading source of reliable forex information. The website offers a comprehensive suite of services including live charts, economic calendars, broker reviews, and technical analysis tools, supported by a strong social media presence and mobile-optimized design. Technically, FXStreet employs a modern technology stack with extensive use of JavaScript, third-party analytics (Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity), push notification services (OneSignal), and performance monitoring (New Relic). The site is built on the Sitefinity CMS platform and demonstrates excellent performance, SEO, and accessibility standards. Security best practices are observed with HTTPS enforcement and security headers, although some areas like public security policies and incident response contacts could be improved. The security posture is robust with no evident vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is strong, featuring clear privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of WHOIS domain registration data and lack of explicit company contact details slightly reduce the overall business credibility and trustworthiness. Overall, FXStreet presents a professional, secure, and user-friendly platform with extensive market data and analysis offerings. Strategic improvements in transparency around domain registration and security incident handling would further enhance trust and compliance.

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

      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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

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

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

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

FXStreet operates in the finance sector as a content and data provider specializing in forex market information. Its business model revolves around delivering real-time market data, news, and educational content, monetized primarily through advertising and premium subscription services. The platform targets retail and professional forex traders globally, leveraging partnerships with brokers and financial institutions. The company maintains a strong brand with consistent messaging and a broad digital footprint, including social media and mobile applications. Growth indicators include active content updates, live video shows, and diversified asset coverage including cryptocurrencies and commodities.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive information. Use of modern security practices such as Content Security Policy and secure cookie consent mechanisms is evident. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response page, or security contact emails limits transparency and readiness for vulnerability reporting. No known vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected in the client-side code. The site would benefit from publishing a security.txt file and formalizing incident response procedures to align with best practices and compliance frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a public security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency.
  2. Create and maintain a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact channels.
  3. Add explicit company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to enhance business credibility.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all users.

Technical notes

Notes

FXStreet's technical infrastructure is modern and robust, leveraging Sitefinity CMS and a rich JavaScript ecosystem. The site integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and OneSignal for push notifications. Performance optimizations such as asynchronous script loading, preconnect hints, and responsive CSS are implemented, resulting in fast load times and excellent mobile optimization. The use of security headers and HTTPS ensures secure data transmission. Opportunities exist to improve hosting transparency and to further modularize scripts for maintainability and security.
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.
