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

2 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. 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

TraderFox operates a subscription-based business model combining software tools and journalistic research products. Their competitive advantage lies in integrating real-time market data, comprehensive stock analysis, and educational content. The company leverages partnerships with major financial data providers and brokers to offer commission-free trading and enriched data services. Their target customers are retail investors and traders seeking advanced tools and timely market insights. The presence of multiple subscription tiers and masterclasses indicates diversified revenue streams and a focus on customer engagement and retention.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and domain status protections such as clientDeleteProhibited. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented with granular consent modes. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no explicit security.txt or incident response contacts are published. Security headers beyond domain status flags are not explicitly identified. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by enabling DNSSEC and publishing security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident response.
  3. Add or verify presence of additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Provide explicit security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  5. Continue maintaining and updating consent management to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Bootstrap 5, jQuery, Popper.js, FontAwesome, Socket.io, Chart.js, and autoComplete.js. It is hosted with IONOS SE and uses multiple UI-DNS name servers. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with CDN usage for static assets. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The technical infrastructure supports a rich user experience with real-time data and interactive 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.
