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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 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';…

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

GoldBroker.com operates in the finance sector, focusing on precious metals investment. Its business model revolves around selling physical gold and silver bars and coins, providing secure storage, shipping, and buyback services. The company targets retail and institutional investors concerned about wealth protection and liquidity. The presence of media logos and a high Trustpilot rating indicates a solid market position and customer satisfaction. The platform supports multiple currencies and languages, enhancing its international appeal. The company was founded in 2011 and is based in the UK, with no apparent parent or subsidiary companies. The affiliate program and marketing tools suggest active customer acquisition strategies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, secure login forms, and standard security headers. The use of third-party services like Trustpilot and Axeptio is well integrated, supporting transparency and compliance. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits the visibility into their security governance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from adding explicit Content-Security-Policy and Referrer-Policy headers and publishing security-related documentation to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information on the website.
  2. Implement and enforce Content-Security-Policy and Referrer-Policy HTTP headers.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations.

Notes

The website is built on a Symfony-based framework with a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery and Bootstrap for responsive design. It uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and Axeptio for cookie consent management, indicating a focus on privacy compliance. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized images. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation clarity. There is no evidence of legacy or vulnerable libraries. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified from the HTML content. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and secure user experience with room for improvement in accessibility and security header completeness.
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.
