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

UXDA is a specialized UX design agency focused exclusively on financial services, fintech, and banking products. With over 10 years of experience and a portfolio of more than 150 projects across 37 countries, UXDA positions itself as a leader in next-generation financial UX design. The website showcases a professional, modern design with extensive case studies, client testimonials, and global awards, reinforcing its market position and credibility. The target audience includes financial institutions and fintech companies seeking expert UX/UI design services to drive innovation and market leadership. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies, including asynchronous analytics and tracking scripts, video content, and responsive design, ensuring a good user experience across devices. However, the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms indicates a compliance gap that should be addressed. Security posture is generally strong with HTTPS and domain transfer protection, but enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers would enhance it further. Overall, UXDA demonstrates a mature digital presence with high business credibility but requires improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 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 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

  • 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

UXDA operates in the financial UX design sector, serving banks, fintechs, and financial brands globally. Its competitive advantage lies in deep domain expertise, a decade-long track record, and numerous prestigious design awards. The business model is service-based, focusing on strategic UX/UI design projects with high-value contracts (costs ranging from 220,000 € to 450,000 € per project). The company leverages thought leadership through blogs and case studies to attract and educate clients. Partnerships and client testimonials indicate a strong ecosystem and repeat business. Growth indicators include recent awards and active content updates. The company targets medium to large financial institutions and fintech startups seeking innovation in digital banking experiences.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses domain transfer protection, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options suggest room for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could hinder rapid response to security issues. The use of multiple third-party analytics and tracking tools without visible consent mechanisms raises privacy compliance concerns, especially under GDPR. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but not comprehensive, with recommendations to enhance domain security, privacy compliance, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to inform users and obtain consent for tracking.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to prevent DNS spoofing and improve security.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  5. Create and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and popular libraries like Swiper.js and Owl Carousel for UI components. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools asynchronously to optimize performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses Google Fonts for typography. Hosting and DNS are managed via 1API GmbH and Moniker DNS servers, respectively. Performance is moderate, with video content and multiple scripts potentially impacting load times. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Accessibility features appear adequate but could be further enhanced. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter cards. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and engaging user experience but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced security configurations.
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.
