Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in Security headers and SSL/TLS.

Security score

87/100

Risk levelLow

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

CCP Games is a well-established interactive entertainment company founded in 1997 in Reykjavik, Iceland, best known for its flagship product EVE Online. The company positions itself as an innovative leader in the gaming industry with a focus on immersive online experiences. The website reflects a professional digital presence with modern technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Cookiebot for privacy compliance, and Bootstrap for responsive design. The site is well-optimized for SEO and mobile devices, providing a good user experience. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, though some security headers are missing and no explicit security or incident response policies are published. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain is a notable concern, as it raises questions about domain registration legitimacy despite the professional appearance of the site. Overall, CCP Games demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure but should address transparency in domain registration and enhance security disclosures to improve trust and compliance.

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

2 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  2. 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

CCP Games operates primarily in the technology sector focusing on video game development and publishing. Its market position is strong, supported by a loyal gamer community and critical acclaim for its products. The business model revolves around online game services and interactive entertainment content. The company targets gamers globally, leveraging partnerships with major advertising and analytics providers such as Google, Microsoft, TikTok, and Twitter. The website's integration with multiple ad networks and tracking services indicates a sophisticated marketing and monetization strategy. However, the lack of visible contact information and corporate disclosures on the website may limit direct customer engagement and transparency. The company appears to maintain a medium-sized operational scale with consistent branding and content quality.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism compliant with GDPR, indicating a baseline of security and privacy awareness. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No security policy or incident response contact information is published, which is a gap in transparency and readiness. The extensive use of third-party tracking and advertising cookies suggests a moderate to extensive user tracking level, which is managed through Cookiebot's consent framework. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The missing WHOIS data for the domain is a significant concern from a trust and legitimacy perspective and should be investigated further. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with enhanced header configurations and published security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive security and privacy policies including incident response contacts on the website.
  2. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS domain registration data to improve domain legitimacy and trust.
  4. Enhance transparency by providing clear company contact information including emails and phone numbers.
  5. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Bootstrap for responsive design, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and Cookiebot for cookie consent management. External resources are loaded from reputable CDNs and service providers. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized CSS usage. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not available from the provided data. The site could benefit from improved accessibility features and additional security headers to reduce technical risks. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable online presence.
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.
