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

Traders Cup is an educational online platform based in Switzerland that offers a trading game focused on structured financial products. It targets individuals interested in learning trading skills through a gamified experience, offering prizes valued over CHF 25,000. The platform leverages a WordPress CMS with Elementor and integrates performance and privacy tools such as WP Rocket and Borlabs Cookie. The website is well-structured, mobile-optimized, and uses HTTPS with proper security headers, reflecting a mature technical infrastructure. However, direct contact information and explicit security policies are not prominently available, which could be improved to enhance trust and compliance. Overall, the site presents a professional and trustworthy front for its niche educational service.

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 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';…

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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

The business operates in the finance and education sectors, focusing on structured products trading education. Its business model revolves around engaging users via a simulated trading game with real-time conditions and rewarding top performers with prizes. The platform partners with Swissquote and uses a dedicated subdomain for the trading game, indicating a partnership ecosystem. The target audience includes retail investors and learners in Switzerland. The site shows good branding consistency and trust signals such as testimonials and prize disclosures. Growth potential lies in expanding educational content and increasing user engagement through gamification.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented. It uses a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, and no obvious vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure program indicates room for improvement in transparency and readiness. The use of third-party analytics and advertising tools is managed with consent, but continuous monitoring for library vulnerabilities is recommended.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and user data protection.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file.
  4. Add data protection officer contact details to comply fully with GDPR transparency requirements.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.

Performance is optimized using WP Rocket for lazy loading and script deferral. Cookie management is handled by Borlabs Cookie, ensuring GDPR compliance. The site uses Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking with consent. The technical stack is modern and well-maintained, with good SEO and mobile optimization. Hosting details are not explicit but the site loads fast and uses HTTPS. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and add more explicit security documentation.
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.
