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

AretoNet is a Malta-based technology company specializing in CRM, Business Intelligence, and Player Engagement platforms tailored for the iGaming industry. Their flagship product suite includes a CRM & Player Engagement platform and an AI-powered Insights Hub that leverages natural language processing to provide deep analytics and segmentation capabilities. The company targets iGaming operators and suppliers across Europe and the US, offering both direct solutions and white-label options. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence with clear service descriptions and client testimonials. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Owl Carousel, integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking, and uses Google reCAPTCHA for form security. The site is mobile-optimized and has good SEO practices but lacks some accessibility features and security headers. Performance is moderate, and the site is fully accessible without WAF or blocking mechanisms. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and includes reCAPTCHA on forms, but it lacks published privacy and cookie policies, security headers, and incident response information. The contact form relies on client-side validation only, which may expose it to risks. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Overall, AretoNet presents a credible and professional business with a solid technical foundation but should improve privacy compliance and security best practices to enhance trust and regulatory adherence.

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

11 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. Network security

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

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • 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

  4. 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"

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 · found on this site
  • 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

AretoNet occupies a niche in the iGaming technology sector, focusing on CRM and BI solutions that cater specifically to gambling operators and suppliers. Their competitive advantage lies in the integration of AI and natural language processing within their Insights Hub, enabling operators to gain actionable insights without requiring technical expertise. The business model is B2B SaaS with options for white-labeling, targeting marketing teams and platform suppliers. The company has established partnerships, notably with Betintel.ai, enhancing their analytics offerings. Testimonials from clients indicate positive impact on KPIs and operational efficiency. The Malta headquarters aligns with the region's status as an iGaming hub, supporting regulatory compliance and market access. The company appears to be small-sized but specialized, with a focus on innovation and customer-centric solutions.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse on forms. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. The lack of published privacy and cookie policies indicates a compliance gap with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Client-side only validation on forms may expose the site to injection or spam risks if server-side validation is not implemented. No incident response or security contact information is provided, which limits transparency and readiness for security events. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, the site would benefit from enhanced security controls and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to ensure GDPR compliance and inform users about data practices.
  2. Implement and configure essential security headers to protect against clickjacking, MIME sniffing, and cross-site scripting.
  3. Add server-side validation for all form inputs to prevent injection attacks and improve data integrity.
  4. Provide clear incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a standard modern front-end stack with jQuery and Owl Carousel for UI components, supported by Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. Google reCAPTCHA is integrated for form security. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data. However, no CMS or backend platform is explicitly detected. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts. Accessibility features are basic, with room for improvement in ARIA roles and keyboard navigation. The absence of security headers and privacy compliance documents indicates technical debt in security and regulatory areas. Hosting provider details are not explicitly available from the content. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could be enhanced with modern security and compliance best practices.
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.
