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

MEXC is a prominent cryptocurrency exchange platform offering a comprehensive suite of services including spot trading, futures, leveraged ETFs, staking, and referral programs. It targets global crypto traders and investors, emphasizing ease of use, low fees, and a wide variety of tokens. The platform is technologically mature, leveraging modern web frameworks like Next.js and integrating advanced analytics and performance monitoring tools. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and multiple security headers, although explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly detailed. Privacy compliance is well addressed with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies. The absence of public WHOIS registrant data is common in this industry but slightly reduces trust. Overall, MEXC presents as a professional, secure, and user-friendly crypto exchange with a strong market position.

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

7 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 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';…

  2. 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

MEXC operates in the competitive cryptocurrency exchange sector, offering a broad range of trading products and financial services. Its business model relies on trading fees, referral commissions, and value-added services like staking and leveraged ETFs. The platform supports multiple languages and regions, indicating a global reach. Partnerships and related domains suggest a broad ecosystem. The company emphasizes security and user experience, which are critical for customer trust and retention in the crypto space. Growth indicators include frequent new listings, events, and active marketing campaigns.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and anti-phishing warnings. However, it lacks publicly accessible detailed security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs, which are important for transparency and trust. No obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy policies are GDPR compliant, and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented. The platform uses third-party analytics responsibly with privacy considerations.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security controls and user guidance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or bug bounty program to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance visibility of official company contact information for support and compliance inquiries.
  5. Maintain regular WHOIS data transparency where possible to improve domain trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

MEXC's website is built on a modern React-based framework (Next.js) with server-side rendering for performance and SEO benefits. It uses advanced JavaScript libraries and polyfills for broad browser compatibility. The site integrates video content and dynamic banners for marketing. Performance monitoring is implemented via Boomerang and Google Tag Manager. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and supports multiple languages and regions. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom-built platform. Hosting provider details are not explicit but likely use CDN and cloud infrastructure for scalability and reliability.
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.
