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

4 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"

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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

The company holds multiple gambling licenses and operates several sister brands including 888casino and 888poker, indicating a broad gambling ecosystem. Its business model focuses on online sports betting with additional revenue streams from promotions and affiliate programs. The target audience is adult sports bettors in regulated markets. The site integrates marketing and analytics tools responsibly, maintaining user privacy and consent. The presence of physical office addresses and regulatory disclosures enhances credibility. The company’s market position as a leading UK betting site is supported by extensive sports coverage and premium betting features.

Security posture

The website employs industry best practices including HTTPS, CSP, and other security headers. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. However, explicit incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies are not publicly available, which could be improved. The site’s compliance with gambling regulations and responsible gaming policies reflects a mature security culture. Regular audits of third-party scripts and enhanced accessibility compliance are recommended to further strengthen security and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and security readiness.
  2. Implement and publicize a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience for all users.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.
  5. Maintain and update privacy and cookie consent mechanisms in line with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack featuring React and Adobe Experience Manager CMS, supported by CDN delivery and optimized for mobile devices. Performance is moderate with deferred loading of scripts and preloading of critical assets. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. The site uses Google Tag Manager and Adobe Helix RUM for analytics and monitoring. Hosting appears stable and secure, likely managed internally or via trusted providers. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and reduce technical debt by streamlining third-party dependencies.
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.
