75/100

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

Big Fish Games is a leading provider of downloadable casual games primarily targeting PC and Mac users, with a strong presence in the casual gaming market. The company operates a large catalog of games and offers subscription-based perks through its Game Club. Technically, the website is built on Adobe Experience Manager with React components and uses modern monitoring tools like New Relic. The site is hosted on a CDN (Fastly) with valid SSL certificates but lacks modern TLS protocol support. Security headers are well implemented, though DNSSEC and CAA records are missing. Privacy and terms policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, but no explicit cookie consent mechanism is observed. Overall, the company demonstrates a mature digital presence with good content quality and user experience.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Big Fish Games holds a strong market position in the casual gaming sector, leveraging a subscription model alongside direct game sales. The company benefits from its parent company Pixel United and maintains partnerships for customer support and career management. Its target audience includes casual gamers seeking downloadable PC and Mac games. The business model focuses on digital distribution and subscription perks, supported by a well-structured website with clear navigation and genre categorization. The presence of multiple domain verifications indicates integration with various third-party services for marketing, analytics, and security.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with valid SSL certificates, HSTS enforcement, and protective HTTP headers like X-Frame-Options and X-Content-Type-Options. However, the absence of TLS 1.2 or higher protocols is a notable gap, potentially exposing users to weaker encryption. DNSSEC and CAA records are not configured, which could increase risk of DNS spoofing or unauthorized certificate issuance. No public security policy or incident response information is found, limiting transparency. The site does not implement a visible cookie consent mechanism, which may affect compliance in some jurisdictions. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be improved by adopting modern TLS protocols and enhancing transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher protocols to ensure strong encryption for users.
  2. Implement DNSSEC and CAA DNS records to enhance domain security and certificate issuance control.
  3. Add a Content Security Policy (CSP) header to mitigate cross-site scripting risks.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Implement a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a robust technical infrastructure using Adobe Experience Manager CMS and React for frontend components. It leverages Fastly CDN for hosting and performance optimization. Monitoring and analytics are handled via New Relic and Adobe Target, indicating a mature digital operations setup. The site shows fast performance and good mobile optimization, though accessibility is basic. SEO practices are good with appropriate metadata and Open Graph tags. The absence of modern TLS protocols and DNS security features represent technical risks that should be addressed to maintain business continuity and user trust.
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.
