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

Betfans is a Dutch online affiliate platform specializing in providing comprehensive overviews and comparisons of legal online casino bonuses and promotions. Founded in 2021, the company targets Dutch-speaking adults interested in online gambling, offering detailed reviews, bonus codes, and affiliate links to licensed casinos and bookmakers. The website is built on WordPress using modern plugins such as Elementor and Yoast SEO, indicating a mature digital infrastructure with good SEO and mobile optimization. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and explicit security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the platform demonstrates a professional business model focused on affiliate marketing within the regulated Dutch gambling market.

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

6 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"

    • 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. 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

Betfans holds a niche position in the Dutch online gambling affiliate market, leveraging partnerships with prominent licensed casinos such as Casino777, 711, Kansino, Circus Casino, and Toto Casino. The business model revolves around affiliate commissions by promoting bonuses and free spins to users. The company maintains a small team and operates with clear branding and consistent content quality. Growth potential lies in expanding affiliate partnerships and enhancing trust signals. The presence of social media channels supports marketing efforts. However, the lack of visible privacy and security policies may impact user trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses reputable third-party tracking tools like Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, which are recommended to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is provided, indicating limited transparency in security management. The absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be significantly improved with standard best practices and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security.
  3. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Publish an incident response plan or vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress CMS with Elementor page builder and Yoast SEO Premium plugin, indicating a modern and SEO-optimized infrastructure. It uses asynchronous loading for analytics and tracking scripts, improving page load performance. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation clarity. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Performance is moderate with potential for optimization. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is standard for affiliate marketing websites, with opportunities to enhance security and privacy compliance.
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.
