Risk levelHigh

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

CollectorVision Games Inc. is an independent developer, publisher, and manufacturer specializing in homebrew games for retro consoles and computers, operating since 2008. The company targets retro gaming enthusiasts and collectors by offering a niche product line including games for ColecoVision, Intellivision, NES, SNES, SEGA Master System, and Commodore 64. Their market position is that of a specialized niche leader with a dedicated online store and active social media presence. Technically, the website employs modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap, jQuery, and Font Awesome, hosted on a VPS provider inferred as HostPapa. The site is mobile responsive and well structured, though performance is moderate and accessibility is basic. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced security headers and DNSSEC, and no privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional but could improve in privacy compliance and security best practices.

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

10 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 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';…

  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

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

CollectorVision operates in a niche market of retro gaming homebrew development and sales, leveraging a direct-to-consumer e-commerce model. Their competitive advantage lies in their specialized product offerings and established brand presence since 2008. Revenue streams likely include game sales and club memberships. The company maintains physical offices in Canada and the USA, supporting legitimacy and operational capacity. Their partnership ecosystem includes social media platforms for marketing and community engagement. Growth indicators include a broad catalog of games and active social channels. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance compliance and security to build further trust and expand market reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and no visible malware or phishing indicators. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers, privacy and cookie policies, and incident response contacts reveals compliance and security gaps. No forms on the homepage reduce immediate attack surface, but lack of vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files limits transparency. Data protection practices are unclear due to missing policies. Incident response readiness is not evident. Overall, the security posture is functional but requires enhancements to meet modern standards and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security.
  2. Implement standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance statements.
  4. Add clear contact information for security incidents and establish a vulnerability disclosure policy.
  5. Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any hidden vulnerabilities and improve overall security posture.

The website uses a stable and mature technology stack with Bootstrap 3.4.1, jQuery 3.5.1, Font Awesome 4.7.0, and DataTables 1.10.23. Hosting is provided by HostPapa VPS as inferred from nameservers. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with no major errors or broken elements detected.

Modernization opportunities include upgrading frameworks and improving accessibility and security features.
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.
