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

Bonusho.com is an international online casino affiliate and informational guide website that provides detailed reviews, bonus listings, and guides related to online casinos and gambling. The site targets English-speaking casino players worldwide, including markets such as the UK, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland, the US, India, and Sweden. It offers comprehensive content on casino bonuses, deposit methods, crypto casinos, and licensing jurisdictions, positioning itself as a growing and trusted resource in the online gambling affiliate space. Technically, the website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern tech stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, FontAwesome, and various marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Hotjar, and OneSignal push notifications. The site is mobile-optimized with good SEO practices and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Performance is moderate, and accessibility is basic but functional. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent mechanism, but lacks explicit security headers and detailed privacy or security policies. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data and lack of explicit contact information reduce the overall trustworthiness and business credibility. Overall, Bonusho.com presents a professional and content-rich platform with a solid technical foundation but would benefit from enhanced transparency in business and security policies to improve trust and compliance 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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

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

Bonusho.com operates as an affiliate marketing and informational platform within the online gambling industry. Its competitive advantage lies in providing detailed, well-structured casino reviews and bonus guides tailored for multiple international markets. The business model relies on affiliate partnerships with online casinos, earning revenue through player referrals. The site demonstrates growth potential as a fast-growing casino guide with a global audience. Partnerships with crypto casinos and esports betting sites indicate diversification and adaptation to emerging trends. However, the lack of visible direct business contact information and incomplete WHOIS data may pose challenges in establishing full market credibility. The platform's multilingual support and comprehensive content targeting various jurisdictions enhance its market reach and user engagement.

Security posture

The website maintains a moderate security posture with enforced HTTPS and a cookie consent banner indicating awareness of privacy regulations. The use of WordPress plugins and third-party scripts introduces typical risks associated with CMS platforms, but no immediate vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement in hardening the site against common web attacks. Lack of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact reduces preparedness for security incidents. Overall, the site is reasonably secure for an informational affiliate platform but should enhance security controls and transparency to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve protection against web attacks.
  2. Publish explicit privacy, security, and terms of service policies to enhance transparency and compliance with GDPR and other regulations.
  3. Add clear and verified contact information including business emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider establishing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.

Performance is moderate with no critical errors detected. Mobile optimization is good with a responsive menu and layout. Accessibility is basic but functional. The technical stack is modern and widely supported, though reliance on multiple external scripts may impact load times and privacy. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable affiliate website.
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.
