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

NSFX, operated by Alchemy Markets Ltd, is a Malta-based regulated Forex and CFD broker offering a range of trading products including Forex, commodities, and indices. The company provides multiple trading platforms, notably the JForex platform, and emphasizes innovation, security, and client protection. Their market position is strengthened by Tier 1 liquidity providers and regulatory compliance with MFSA and MiFID standards. The website is professionally designed with multilingual support and comprehensive educational resources targeting both professional and retail traders. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern technologies such as jQuery, Bootstrap, and integrates various marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and Taboola. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, though some accessibility features could be enhanced. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced, use of reCAPTCHA, and client fund protections, but lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy. Overall, NSFX demonstrates a mature digital presence with good business credibility and compliance. The absence of a formal incident response contact and vulnerability disclosure policy are areas for improvement. The extensive use of tracking and marketing tools suggests a moderate to extensive user tracking level, balanced by clear privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Strategically, NSFX should focus on enhancing security transparency, improving accessibility, and maintaining regulatory compliance to sustain trust and competitive advantage in the Forex brokerage market.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 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';…

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

NSFX operates as a regulated Forex and CFD broker targeting professional and retail traders globally, with a strong presence in Malta. Their business model revolves around providing trading platforms, liquidity access, and educational content. The company leverages partnerships with Tier 1 liquidity providers and regulatory bodies to build trust. Revenue streams likely include spreads, commissions, and affiliate programs. The multilingual website and affiliate platform indicate a growth-oriented approach. NSFX's competitive advantages include regulatory compliance, client fund protection, and innovative trading technology. The partnership ecosystem includes liquidity providers and affiliate networks, supporting a robust operational framework.

Security posture

NSFX exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms, and client protections such as Negative Balance Protection and participation in the Maltese Investor Compensation Scheme. However, the website lacks explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and HSTS, which are recommended best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by formalizing security documentation and enhancing HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy including incident response procedures.
  2. Add and enforce HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader compliance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security and privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using a combination of jQuery, Bootstrap, and custom scripts. It integrates multiple third-party marketing and analytics services including Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Twitter tracking, and Taboola ads. The site is mobile optimized and uses a responsive UberMenu for navigation. Performance is moderate with some reliance on external scripts which may impact load times. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from performance optimizations and enhanced accessibility compliance. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional trading platform website with room for modernization and security hardening.
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.
