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

The website www.18touch.com operates as a Chinese mobile gaming media platform, providing timely news, game downloads, guides, and rankings targeted primarily at mobile game players in China. It positions itself as a trusted and respected source within the mobile gaming community, offering a wide range of game-related content updated regularly. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and mobile optimization, including a dedicated mobile subdomain redirection. Technically, the site uses standard web technologies including JavaScript and CSS, with integration of Baidu's customer search API for enhanced search functionality. However, the site lacks visible security headers, privacy policies, and contact information, which impacts its overall security posture and compliance standing. The WHOIS data for the domain is missing or unavailable, which raises concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, the site is content-rich and user-friendly but requires improvements in security, privacy compliance, and transparency to enhance trust and credibility.

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

8 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

  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 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 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

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 media sector focused on mobile gaming in China, targeting gamers seeking news, downloads, and game guides. Its business model revolves around content provision and possibly advertising revenue, supported by partnerships with external script providers like Baidu. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive game listings and frequent updates. However, the lack of publicly available company registration or contact details limits transparency. There is no evidence of parent or subsidiary companies. The platform appears to be medium-sized with a consistent brand presence. Growth indicators include regular content updates and a broad game catalog. Strategic partnerships with Baidu for search functionality suggest integration with major Chinese internet services.

Security posture

The website currently exhibits a low security maturity level. It lacks essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options. There is no visible privacy or cookie policy, and no contact channels for security incident reporting. The absence of WHOIS registration data further reduces trust. While HTTPS usage is unknown from the provided data, the lack of security best practices and compliance documentation indicates potential vulnerabilities and compliance gaps. The site should prioritize implementing security headers, privacy policies, and incident response mechanisms to improve its security posture and regulatory compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies to comply with data protection regulations and improve user trust.
  3. Provide verifiable contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security incident communication.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and transparency.
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any vulnerabilities and establish an incident response plan.

Notes

The website uses standard web technologies such as HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, with integration of Baidu's customer search API and external scripts from 9k9k.com. The site is mobile-optimized with automatic redirection to a mobile subdomain for mobile devices. SEO is supported by meta tags including keywords and description in Chinese. Performance appears moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading. Accessibility features are basic, with no ARIA roles or landmarks detected in the provided HTML snippet. The site does not appear to use a known CMS or advanced frameworks. Hosting provider information is not available. Technical risks include lack of security headers and missing privacy compliance 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.
