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

Dune: Awakening is a professionally presented website dedicated to promoting the multiplayer survival game of the same name, developed by Funcom. The site provides game information, media content, news updates, and account access for players. The business model focuses on entertainment and community engagement within the gaming sector. The website is built on WordPress, hosted on AWS infrastructure, and employs modern web technologies including Google Tag Manager and CookieYes for consent management. The site is mobile optimized and SEO friendly, with a consistent branding approach. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and implements a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, it lacks explicit security headers and a public security policy or incident response contact information. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The domain registration is consistent with the business timeline and shows no suspicious patterns, supporting the legitimacy of the site. Overall, the website demonstrates a good security posture and technical maturity suitable for its business purpose. The extensive use of third-party advertising and tracking cookies indicates a moderate to extensive user tracking level, which is transparently managed via the cookie consent banner. Strategic improvements include adding security headers, publishing a security policy, and providing clear contact information for privacy and security concerns.

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

6 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 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. 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

The website positions itself as the official online presence for the Dune: Awakening game, targeting gamers interested in multiplayer survival experiences. It leverages Funcom's brand and provides key services such as game lore, media galleries, news, and account management. The business model is primarily promotional and community-focused, supporting game sales and player engagement. The site integrates with multiple advertising networks and tracking platforms to monetize and analyze user interactions. The partnership ecosystem includes major ad networks and analytics providers, but no direct business partners or subsidiaries were identified from the domain data. Growth indicators include active content updates and multilingual support, enhancing global reach.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and a detailed cookie consent mechanism that categorizes cookies by purpose and duration. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. The lack of a security.txt file or published incident response procedures limits transparency for vulnerability reporting. Compliance with GDPR is supported by the consent banner and cookie categorization, but no explicit privacy policy page was detected. Overall, the site is secure for general use but could enhance trust and compliance by publishing additional security documentation and headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and incident reporting.
  3. Add a comprehensive privacy policy page linked prominently on the website to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security and privacy concerns, including dedicated email addresses such as security@ or abuse@.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and cookies to minimize privacy risks and optimize performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 using the Bricks theme and child theme, supported by jQuery and multiple Google Tag Manager containers for analytics and advertising. Hosting is provided via AWS DNS infrastructure, ensuring reliable uptime and scalability. The site includes advanced SEO optimizations via Rank Math and supports multiple languages through WPML. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features, though accessibility could be improved further. The use of CookieYes for consent management demonstrates attention to privacy compliance. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Opportunities exist to modernize security headers and streamline third-party integrations for improved performance and security.
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.
