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

GSR Markets operates as a crypto trading firm and liquidity provider specializing in capital markets solutions for the cryptocurrency industry. Their services include market making, OTC trading, and risk management, targeting institutional investors and trading firms. The company has an established presence since 2013 and positions itself as a trusted partner in crypto capital markets. Technically, the website is built using modern frameworks such as Astro and is hosted on AWS infrastructure, with a CMS likely being Craft CMS. The site is well-optimized for mobile and SEO, and employs industry-standard analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, and LinkedIn Insight. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms but lacks some advanced security headers and explicit security policies. The domain registration is consistent and legitimate, though DNSSEC is not enabled. Overall, the website presents a professional and credible front with moderate tracking and good privacy compliance, but could improve transparency around privacy policies and security disclosures.

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

3 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.

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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

GSR Markets is positioned in the finance sector, specifically within cryptocurrency trading and liquidity provision. Their business model revolves around providing market making and OTC trading services to institutional clients, which suggests a B2B focus. The company benefits from a decade-long domain age, indicating stability and experience. Their marketing ecosystem includes major analytics and tracking platforms, supporting data-driven growth strategies. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests a controlled communication channel via contact forms, typical for financial firms. No subsidiaries or parent companies are identified, indicating an independent operation. The company leverages professional branding and consistent messaging to build trust in a competitive crypto market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with mandatory HTTPS and clientTransferProhibited domain status to prevent unauthorized domain transfers. Cookie consent is managed via OneTrust, indicating GDPR awareness. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent areas for improvement. No public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is available, which could hinder transparency and trust in security matters. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security maturity is moderate, suitable for the industry but with room for enhancement in policy transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  3. Implement and publish a security policy and incident response contact information.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Astro framework and Craft CMS, hosted on AWS infrastructure. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and LinkedIn Insight, indicating a mature digital marketing approach. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident from meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by rich media content and third-party scripts. No broken elements or errors were detected in the provided HTML. The use of OneTrust for cookie consent demonstrates compliance with privacy regulations. Technical risks are minimal but could be further reduced by enabling DNSSEC and enhancing security headers.
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.
