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

CTC HOLDINGS is a well-established European manufacturer specializing in casino and gaming equipment since 1991, serving a broad international customer base across Europe, Africa, South America, and Asia. The company positions itself as a leading provider in its niche market, offering casino equipment and studio solutions. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with good content quality and clear navigation, targeting casino operators and related businesses. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern frontend technologies such as Bootstrap 5 and jQuery, hosted by a reputable registrar. It is mobile optimized and performs moderately well. However, some technical improvements could be made, including the addition of security headers and enhanced accessibility features. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain transfer protections in place, but lacks DNSSEC and visible security headers. There is no evidence of privacy or cookie policies, nor incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, which are important for compliance and trust. Google Analytics is used without a visible consent mechanism, indicating potential privacy compliance gaps. Overall, the website is functional and professional but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices to improve trust and regulatory adherence.

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

9 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

      • 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

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

CTC HOLDINGS operates in the manufacturing sector, focusing on casino and gaming equipment. Its market position is strong within Europe, supported by a long history since 1991 and a customer base exceeding 500 clients worldwide. The business model centers on manufacturing and direct sales, with a clear target audience of casino operators and gaming studios. The company maintains an active social media presence, which supports marketing and customer engagement. The domain age is younger than the founding year, suggesting possible rebranding or domain migration. No parent or subsidiary companies are indicated, implying an independent operation. The website content and branding are consistent, supporting a credible and professional image.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protections. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents a security gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response contacts, indicates compliance and operational security weaknesses. The use of Google Analytics without a consent mechanism further highlights privacy compliance risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements to meet best practices and regulatory standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  3. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to improve protection against common web attacks.
  4. Establish and publish an incident response policy and vulnerability disclosure process to improve transparency and security readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress and uses Bootstrap 5.3.1 and jQuery 3.7.0 for frontend functionality. It loads external resources from trusted CDNs and integrates Google Analytics via gtag.js for tracking. The site is mobile optimized and has a clear navigation structure. Hosting is provided by Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu, with domain registration consistent with the business location. Performance is moderate, with no critical technical debt observed. However, the absence of security headers and DNSSEC indicates areas for technical improvement. The site lacks structured data such as JSON-LD or Open Graph tags beyond basic metadata, which could be enhanced for SEO and social sharing.
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.
