Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript frameworks, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and responsive design techniques to ensure good mobile optimization and user experience. While the CMS is not explicitly identified, the site shows good SEO practices and moderate performance. Security is well-handled with HTTPS and secure form implementations, though additional security headers could enhance the posture.

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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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';…

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

Business profile

BetterGambling.pt operates as a focused affiliate and informational media platform in the online gambling sector, targeting Portuguese-speaking gamblers. Its competitive advantage lies in detailed casino reviews, bonus offers, and educational content, supported by a network of sister sites in various regions. Revenue streams likely include affiliate commissions from casino partners such as 22BET, Spinsy, and BassBet. The target customers are adult online gamblers seeking trustworthy information and bonus deals. Growth indicators include a steady user base, monthly readership, and active social media engagement. The partnership ecosystem is broad, linking to multiple regional gambling sites and social platforms. The company maintains a transparent organizational structure with clear branding and content quality.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide and secure form handling including CSRF tokens. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, and no vulnerability disclosure program is evident. Privacy compliance is strong with GDPR-aligned policies and cookie consent mechanisms. The site shows no signs of malware, phishing, or other security threats. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and provide clear incident response contact channels to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.
  5. Continue to monitor and update third-party scripts and dependencies to avoid introducing vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom JavaScript framework with a store pattern for state management, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and SVG icons for UI elements. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with good SEO meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for organization and website information. The CMS is not identified, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. Performance is moderate with deferred JavaScript loading and optimized images. There is no evidence of legacy or vulnerable libraries. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Technical risks are low but could be mitigated further by adding security headers and improving accessibility 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.
