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

Gate.io6.com presents itself as a Chinese-language cryptocurrency exchange platform offering trading services for over 3800 crypto assets across multiple platforms including iOS, Android, and Windows. The website is professionally designed with clear navigation and content focused on crypto trading and asset management. However, the domain WHOIS data is unavailable, indicating either a very recent registration or privacy protection, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies such as Bootstrap and JavaScript, and includes Baidu Analytics for user tracking. Security posture is moderate but lacks visible security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are important for compliance and user trust. Overall, the site is accessible and functional but requires improvements in transparency and security practices.

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. 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 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

    • 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

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

Gate.io operates in the finance and technology sectors as a digital asset trading platform targeting cryptocurrency investors and traders. It positions itself as a global leader in crypto exchange services, emphasizing security, speed, and a broad asset offering. The business model revolves around transaction fees and digital asset management services. The website links to official gate.io privacy and terms pages, suggesting affiliation or branding alignment. However, the lack of verifiable WHOIS data and absence of direct contact information limits full confidence in business credibility. The platform leverages Baidu Analytics indicating a focus on Chinese market users. No clear partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS implied but no explicit security headers detected in the provided data. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, the absence of security policies, incident response contacts, and cookie consent mechanisms indicates gaps in compliance and user protection. The missing WHOIS registration data is a significant concern for domain legitimacy and trust. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting transparency on security practices. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements to meet industry best practices and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with privacy regulations such as GDPR.
  3. Publish clear security and incident response policies including contact channels for reporting security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users.
  5. Verify and publish domain WHOIS registration data to improve trust and legitimacy perception.

Notes

The website uses a standard front-end stack with Bootstrap CSS and JavaScript for interactivity and responsive design. It supports multiple platforms including PC and mobile devices, with mobile optimization rated good. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading but no advanced optimization detected. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured content in Chinese.

There is no evidence of modern frameworks or backend technologies from the provided data. Technical risks include lack of security headers and incomplete domain registration information.
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.
