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

Electronic Arts (EA) is a leading global publisher of video games across console, PC, and mobile platforms. The company positions itself as an industry leader with a strong brand presence and a focus on inspiring the world through play. The website reflects a mature digital infrastructure with modern technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Google Optimize, and New Relic for analytics and performance monitoring. The site is well-optimized for mobile and accessibility, providing an excellent user experience with professional design and clear navigation. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms implemented, though explicit security policies and incident response information are not evident in the provided content. WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to privacy protections common for large enterprises, but the website's branding and structured data confirm legitimacy. Overall, EA's website demonstrates a strong business and technical foundation with room for improvement in transparency around security and privacy policies.

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.

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

EA operates in the technology sector as a major publisher and distributor of video games. Its business model revolves around game publishing, digital distribution, and online gaming services targeting gamers worldwide. The company maintains a consistent brand identity and leverages partnerships with content delivery and analytics providers. The absence of direct contact information on the main page suggests a focus on digital engagement through other channels. EA's market position as a leading publisher is supported by its extensive content offerings and global reach. The website's use of structured data linking to Wikipedia enhances credibility and SEO. No suspicious domains or affiliate programs were detected, indicating a controlled partner ecosystem.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates cookie consent mechanisms compliant with privacy regulations. Use of Google Tag Manager and Google Optimize is managed with user consent, reflecting privacy-aware analytics practices. However, the absence of visible security headers and lack of published security policies or incident response contacts indicate areas for enhancement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure page limits transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a corporate site but could benefit from improved security communication and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection.
  3. Publish incident response and vulnerability disclosure information, including a security.txt file.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security and general inquiries to improve trust and compliance.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including Google Tag Manager, Google Optimize, New Relic, and Web Components, indicating a mature front-end infrastructure. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and deferred JavaScript. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed with responsive design and semantic HTML. SEO is supported by proper meta tags, Open Graph, Twitter Cards, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider details are not explicit in the content. The site does not appear to use a traditional CMS or exposes no CMS-specific footprints. Overall, the technical implementation supports a scalable and user-friendly experience with opportunities to enhance security headers and transparency.
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.
