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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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 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';…

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

EDITEC holds a strong market position as a lottery and gaming operator in Africa and the Middle-East, targeting state authorities, players, and agents. Their business model combines product development, operations, and consultancy services. The company leverages a large network of over 100,000 points of sale and operates in 17 markets, indicating medium size and regional influence. The website reflects a professional brand with consistent messaging and social media presence. However, the lack of explicit business contact details and privacy policies suggests room for improvement in transparency and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and up-to-date WordPress core and plugins, which is positive. However, the password field in the client sign-up form is implemented as a text input, exposing user credentials to risk. No security headers were detected, and there is no evidence of incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. The absence of privacy and cookie policies further weakens compliance posture. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires enhancements to protect user data and comply with regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Change the password input field type to 'password' to secure user credentials.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to improve transparency.
  5. Regularly audit and update all plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with the TheGem Elementor theme and uses Slider Revolution for interactive content. It employs jQuery and LiteSpeed Cache for performance optimization. The site is mobile responsive and uses Google Fonts for typography. Performance is moderate with lazy loading implemented for images. Accessibility features are basic, and SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags and structured content. There is no evidence of advanced analytics or tracking services. Technical risks include insecure form fields and missing security headers, which could impact user trust and data protection.
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.
