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

The Moscow Exchange (Московская биржа) operates as the largest Russian exchange holding, providing a comprehensive platform for trading stocks, bonds, derivatives, currencies, money market instruments, precious metals, and commodities such as grain and sugar. The website targets investors, issuers, and market participants, offering detailed market data and trading information. The platform is technologically modern, leveraging React and Next.js frameworks, with integrated analytics from Yandex Metrika and Google Tag Manager. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement and standard security headers, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly disclosed. Privacy compliance is basic, with cookie consent mechanisms in place but limited GDPR-specific disclosures. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly but does not detract from the site's apparent legitimacy given its market position and content quality. Overall, the site is professional, well-branded, and trustworthy, serving a critical role in the Russian financial market infrastructure.

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. 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"

  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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  3. 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

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

Moscow Exchange holds a dominant position in the Russian financial sector as a key marketplace for a wide range of financial instruments. Its business model centers on facilitating transparent and efficient trading and providing market data services. The company likely generates revenue from transaction fees, data subscriptions, and listing services. The website's content and structure indicate a focus on institutional and retail investors, issuers, and financial professionals. The use of advanced web technologies and integration with major analytics and advertising platforms suggests a mature digital presence. The lack of visible contact details and WHOIS data may reflect operational security or privacy policies. The exchange's ecosystem includes partnerships with major financial institutions and regulatory bodies, reinforcing its strategic importance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented, reducing risks of common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Privacy policy and cookie consent are present but could be enhanced to better align with international standards such as GDPR. Overall, the security posture is good but would benefit from more explicit communication of security governance and incident handling procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page with clear contact information.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file.
  3. Enhance privacy policy to explicitly address GDPR and other data protection regulations.
  4. Add visible and verified company contact information including emails and phone numbers.
  5. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards and broaden user inclusivity.

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.
