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

Soft-FX is a fintech software development company specializing in comprehensive FX and digital asset trading software solutions. The company targets brokerages, blockchain platforms, and proprietary trading firms, offering a broad portfolio of products including margin trading solutions, liquidity aggregation, deliverable trading software, and risk management tools. With over 30 completed projects and a presence in more than 22 countries, Soft-FX positions itself as a mature and innovative player in the financial technology sector. Technically, the website is built on the Ghost CMS platform and utilizes modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Swiper for UI components. It integrates analytics and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and HubSpot forms, indicating a digitally mature infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices, although some accessibility features could be enhanced. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses asynchronous loading for third-party scripts, reducing performance impact and potential vulnerabilities. However, no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no visible incident response or security policy documentation. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy, although the website content and business presence appear professional and trustworthy. Overall, Soft-FX presents a strong business and technical profile with room for improvement in transparency and security documentation. The risk assessment is moderate due to the missing WHOIS data, but the operational and content quality supports a positive trust posture.

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

4 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. 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';…

  3. 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

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

  • DNS health: 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

Soft-FX operates in the fintech sector, focusing on software solutions for FX and digital asset trading. Its competitive advantage lies in offering a comprehensive suite of products tailored to brokerages and trading platforms, including turnkey solutions and liquidity aggregation. The business model is B2B software development and integration, targeting financial institutions and trading companies. Revenue streams likely include software licensing, customization, and support services. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem, evidenced by client case studies with notable brokers like FXOpen and Libertex. Growth indicators include a sizable employee base and international reach. Strategic observations highlight the company's emphasis on innovation, educational content, and client engagement through case studies and testimonials.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with mandatory HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data in the HTML. The use of asynchronous script loading and reputable analytics tools suggests attention to performance and security. However, the lack of detected security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options indicates potential gaps in defense-in-depth. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are present, which could hinder rapid response to security events. Compliance indicators for GDPR are basic, with privacy and cookie policies in place but no detailed data protection officer contact or security framework references. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a fintech software provider but would benefit from enhanced security controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen site security.
  2. Publish explicit terms of service and incident response policies to improve legal and security transparency.
  3. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers to enhance trust and facilitate communication.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and integrations to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Ghost CMS version 5.49, leveraging modern front-end libraries such as jQuery 2.2.4 and Swiper 9.4.1 for interactive UI components. It integrates marketing and analytics tools including Google Tag Manager and Microsoft Clarity, and uses HubSpot for contact form management. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices, including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to reduce blocking. No hosting provider information is directly available. Technical risks include the use of an older jQuery version which may have known vulnerabilities, and the absence of security headers. The site architecture supports scalability and user engagement but requires ongoing maintenance to address security and accessibility improvements.
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.
