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

5 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 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"

  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

Ubisoft operates in the technology sector, specifically in entertainment and digital media. The Assassin's Creed franchise is a major revenue driver, supported by game sales, expansions, and merchandise. The business model focuses on direct-to-consumer digital sales, community building, and brand partnerships. Ubisoft maintains a strong market position as a top-tier game publisher with a global audience. The website reflects this with extensive content, active news updates, and multiple social media channels. Partnerships with platform providers like Microsoft and merchandising partners are evident. The company targets gamers worldwide, with localized content for multiple regions. Growth indicators include ongoing game expansions and community events. The ecosystem includes official stores, third-party merchandise, and media content, supporting a diversified revenue stream.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and modern security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. External links use secure attributes to prevent tab-nabbing. However, there is no visible public vulnerability disclosure program or dedicated security contact information, which could enhance incident response readiness. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms align with GDPR requirements, indicating compliance awareness. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from increased transparency in vulnerability handling and incident response channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicize a formal vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.
  2. Enhance visibility of security incident response contacts, such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.
  4. Maintain and update privacy and cookie policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.
  5. Consider publishing a security whitepaper or compliance certifications to boost user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React framework with Contentful CMS for content management, ensuring scalability and ease of updates. Integration with Algolia provides efficient search capabilities, and YouTube embeds enhance multimedia content delivery. The site is hosted on Ubisoft's CDN infrastructure, likely leveraging Akamai or similar providers for global performance. Performance is optimized with lazy loading of images and responsive design for mobile devices. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced with ARIA landmarks and keyboard navigation improvements. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph data, and canonical URLs. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a robust, user-friendly experience with room for continuous modernization.
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.
