Risk levelLow

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

GoldCore Ltd operates the MyGoldSaver platform, providing UK and international customers with a secure and affordable way to save in physical gold bullion. The company has a strong market presence with over 4,500 clients globally and manages significant assets. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and uses modern web technologies including CDN hosting and performance monitoring tools. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and secure form handling, although explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not published. Privacy and cookie policies are present with consent mechanisms, indicating good compliance with GDPR. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable due to registration issues with the exact domain queried, which slightly impacts trust but does not undermine the overall legitimacy of the business. Overall, the site presents a trustworthy, professional financial service with room for improvement in transparency and security documentation.

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. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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

GoldCore Ltd targets retail investors interested in gold savings and accumulation plans, offering monthly deposits backed by physical gold stored in high-security vaults. The business model focuses on low-cost premiums and annual management fees, with options to convert savings into physical coins. The company leverages a multi-regional approach with partner sites for Ireland and the USA. Their competitive advantage lies in trust, security, and ease of account opening. The company uses digital marketing and analytics tools to engage customers and maintain compliance. Growth indicators include active blog content, video media, and social proof testimonials. Strategic partnerships and a clear brand identity support their market position in the precious metals finance sector.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure form implementations including CSRF tokens. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a publicly available security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency. The use of third-party scripts such as New Relic and HubSpot is monitored but should be regularly audited for vulnerabilities. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting privacy compliance. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing formal security and incident response documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide explicit incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and dependencies for security risks.
  5. Enhance cookie consent transparency with granular user options and detailed disclosures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and Selectize.js, hosted on Amazon CloudFront CDN for fast global delivery. It uses Lite YouTube Embed for optimized video content and New Relic for performance monitoring. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. The technical implementation is robust with no major issues detected. Opportunities exist to modernize further by adopting newer JavaScript frameworks and enhancing accessibility features.
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.
