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

Battlefy operates as a platform specializing in the creation, management, and discovery of esports tournaments. Established in 2012, it serves a niche audience of competitive gamers and tournament organizers, positioning itself as a leading service in the esports technology sector. The platform offers tools that simplify tournament logistics and enhance user engagement within the esports community. Technically, Battlefy leverages a modern web stack including AngularJS and integrates multiple third-party services such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook SDK, Intercom, and FullStory for analytics and user interaction. Hosting is provided via Amazon Web Services, ensuring reliable infrastructure. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections in place; however, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers indicates room for improvement. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies and lack of consent mechanisms, which could expose the company to regulatory risks. Overall, the website is professionally designed with good user experience but requires enhancements in privacy and security transparency to strengthen 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

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 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 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. 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.

  4. 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

Battlefy's market positioning as a dedicated esports tournament platform gives it a competitive advantage in a growing industry. Its business model centers on providing a SaaS platform that facilitates tournament creation and management, likely generating revenue through subscriptions or service fees. The target customer segments include esports players, teams, and organizers seeking streamlined competition management. The company benefits from partnerships with major technology providers and uses reputable hosting and analytics services. Growth indicators include a stable domain age and consistent branding. However, the lack of visible contact information and formal policies may hinder trust-building with enterprise clients and regulatory bodies. Strategic partnerships and expansion into additional esports titles or regions could further enhance market presence.

Security posture

The security maturity of Battlefy is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, and domain registration includes protective statuses that prevent unauthorized transfers or deletions. However, the absence of DNSSEC leaves the domain vulnerable to DNS spoofing attacks. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are important for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. The site uses multiple third-party scripts, increasing the attack surface if not properly managed. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are missing, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Overall, while basic security measures are in place, significant improvements are needed to meet best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  4. Publish a security policy and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to minimize vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

Battlefy's technical infrastructure is built on a modern JavaScript framework (AngularJS) and integrates various third-party libraries and services for analytics, user engagement, and UI components. Hosting on AWS provides scalability and reliability. The website demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external scripts. Accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced to meet higher standards. The absence of a CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Technical debt appears manageable but should be monitored, especially regarding legacy AngularJS usage and third-party dependencies. Opportunities exist to modernize the stack and improve security configurations to reduce operational risks.
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.
