64/100

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

MEXC is a prominent cryptocurrency exchange platform offering a wide range of services including spot and futures trading, staking, and promotional airdrops. The platform targets global crypto traders and investors, emphasizing ease of use, trending tokens, and low fees. Technically, the website is built on modern frameworks such as Next.js and Ant Design, with performance and mobile optimization well implemented. Security measures include HTTPS, cold and hot wallet asset storage, and a futures insurance fund, although explicit public security policies and incident response contacts are not found. The absence of WHOIS registration data slightly impacts trust but the overall digital presence and technical maturity indicate a legitimate and professional operation. Privacy and cookie policies are present and GDPR compliant, supporting user data protection. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security policies, incident response procedures, and vulnerability disclosure programs to 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. 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

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  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 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube

      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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

MEXC holds a strong market position as a leading crypto exchange with a focus on trending tokens and user incentives such as airdrops and referral commissions. Its business model revolves around trading fees, staking products, and promotional campaigns. The platform serves a broad audience of cryptocurrency traders worldwide and maintains partnerships through alternate domains. Growth indicators include active marketing, diverse product offerings, and integration of modern web technologies. However, the lack of visible company contact details and WHOIS transparency suggests areas for improvement in business credibility and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The security posture of MEXC is solid with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and asset protection strategies like cold storage and insurance funds. However, the absence of a publicly accessible security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates gaps in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the website content. Compliance with GDPR is indicated by privacy and cookie policies. Enhancing public security documentation and providing clear channels for security incident reporting would strengthen the security culture and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  2. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear and verified company contact information including security and support emails.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet compliance standards and improve user experience.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential security risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern technology stack including React with Next.js for server-side rendering, Ant Design for UI components, and various performance monitoring tools such as Boomerang. Hosting appears to be via Akamai CDN, ensuring fast content delivery. The site is mobile optimized and uses polyfills for broad browser compatibility. SEO practices are well implemented with comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom or proprietary platform. The technical infrastructure supports a fast and responsive user experience with good security configurations.
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.
