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

BlockchainGamer.biz is a specialized media publication operated by Steel Media Ltd, focusing on the intersection of blockchain technology and the gaming industry. The website provides news, features, profiles, and industry insights targeted at professionals and enthusiasts in the blockchain gaming space. It maintains a consistent brand presence and regularly updates content, positioning itself as a niche but reputable source within its market segment. The business model centers on media content delivery, advertising, and industry networking, supported by partnerships within the Steel Media Business Network. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a modern tech stack including Yoast SEO, WP Rocket for performance, and various plugins for cryptocurrency widgets and event management. The site is mobile-optimized and employs SEO best practices, although accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with caching and lazy loading implemented. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses consent management for cookies, indicating GDPR awareness. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, explicit privacy and security policies are not prominently linked, and no incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are evident. The WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which is common for media companies but reduces transparency. Overall, BlockchainGamer.biz presents a professional and trustworthy online presence with solid technical foundations and a clear business focus. Strategic improvements in privacy transparency and security documentation would enhance its compliance and trustworthiness further.

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

7 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 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 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

BlockchainGamer.biz operates as a focused media outlet within the blockchain gaming niche, leveraging Steel Media Ltd's network to provide authoritative content. Its competitive advantage lies in specialized coverage and industry connections. Revenue likely derives from advertising and sponsored content, supported by a loyal audience of blockchain and gaming professionals. The site’s partnership ecosystem includes sister sites like PocketGamer.biz and PCGamesInsider.biz, enhancing cross-promotion opportunities. Growth indicators include frequent content updates and active social media engagement. The business model is content-driven with potential expansion into events and industry rankings.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforcement and cookie consent mechanisms in place. No critical security headers were explicitly detected in the HTML, but standard protections are likely implemented at the server level. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the content. Compliance with GDPR is partially addressed through consent management but lacks detailed privacy documentation. The security culture appears basic but functional, with room for improvement in formal policies and vulnerability disclosure.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page prominently linked in the footer or header.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve security posture.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to meet WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a well-established WordPress CMS platform with a suite of modern plugins for SEO, caching, event management, and cryptocurrency data display. The tech stack includes jQuery, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and premium SEO tools, indicating a mature digital infrastructure. Performance is moderate with caching and lazy loading techniques applied. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph tags. Technical risks are minimal but include dependency on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing maintenance to avoid security issues.
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.
