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

Wellcrypto is a specialized online platform providing comprehensive reviews, ratings, and comparisons of cryptocurrency exchanges aimed at independent investors and traders. The website offers detailed information to help users make informed decisions about crypto trading platforms. Technically, the site uses a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, and various analytics and tracking tools, hosted behind Cloudflare DNS. Security-wise, the site employs HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA on forms but lacks published security policies and vulnerability disclosures. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and no consent mechanisms. Overall, the site is functional, well-designed, and provides valuable content but should improve privacy and security transparency to enhance trust and compliance.

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

7 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

Wellcrypto operates in the finance and technology sectors, focusing on cryptocurrency exchange reviews. Its business model relies on affiliate marketing and advertising revenue, supported by detailed and unbiased content. The company targets crypto investors and traders globally, with a small-sized operation founded in 2021. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its real-account testing of exchanges and comprehensive rating methodology. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not evident. Growth is indicated by regular content updates and methodology revisions. The platform maintains transparency through disclaimers and structured data but lacks explicit privacy and security policies.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and spam protection via Google reCAPTCHA. However, it lacks critical security headers and published security policies, including incident response and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. The absence of GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms represents a compliance gap. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident. Overall, the security posture is adequate but requires enhancements in policy transparency and technical security controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  2. Implement and publicly disclose a security policy and vulnerability disclosure program, including a security.txt file.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security.
  4. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing clear incident response contact channels and data protection officer information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom or unknown CMS using Bootstrap 4.1.0 and jQuery 3.6.3, with additional libraries like Slick Carousel and Fancybox for UI components. It integrates multiple analytics and tracking services including Google Analytics, Yandex Metrica, Facebook Pixel, Ahrefs Analytics, and Cloudflare Insights. Hosting is via Cloudflare DNS and CDN services. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and structured data. Technical debt is minimal but modernization opportunities include updating Bootstrap and jQuery versions and improving security headers and privacy compliance.
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.
