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

Epic Games Store is a leading digital distribution platform for video games and software, operated by Epic Games, Inc., a major player in the gaming industry. The platform offers a wide variety of games, add-ons, mods, and subscription services, targeting gamers and developers globally. The business model focuses on direct-to-consumer sales with favorable revenue sharing for developers, leveraging the success of flagship titles like Fortnite to expand its market presence. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including React and Pug templating, with optimized web fonts and strong mobile responsiveness. The site is well-structured with comprehensive metadata and SEO optimizations, ensuring good performance and accessibility. Security is robust with HTTPS enforced, strong security headers, and no detected vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies, cookie consent mechanisms, and GDPR compliance indicators. However, direct company contact information is not prominently displayed on the main store site, which is typical for large digital platforms. WHOIS data for the subdomain is unavailable, consistent with subdomain usage under the main epicgames.com domain. Overall, the Epic Games Store website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure, strong security posture, and high business credibility. It is a trustworthy platform for digital game distribution with excellent user experience and compliance 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

6 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 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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

Epic Games Store holds a strong market position as a major digital game storefront competing with other platforms like Steam. Its competitive advantage lies in developer-friendly revenue sharing and integration with Epic's ecosystem. The business model includes direct sales, subscriptions, and modding community support, targeting a broad gamer demographic. Revenue streams are diversified across game sales, subscriptions, and in-game purchases. The company benefits from a robust partnership ecosystem and a global user base. Growth indicators include continuous platform enhancements and expanding game catalogs. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining security and privacy compliance to sustain user trust and market leadership.

Security posture

The website exhibits a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and no visible vulnerabilities. Compliance with GDPR and cookie consent regulations is evident. There is no public incident response or vulnerability disclosure information found, which is common for large enterprises that handle such matters internally. The absence of exposed sensitive data and use of modern security best practices reduce risk. However, enhancing transparency around incident response and vulnerability disclosure could further strengthen security culture and user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicize a dedicated vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.
  2. Enhance visibility of security and incident response policies to improve user confidence.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider providing more accessible company contact information for security and support inquiries.
  5. Maintain continuous monitoring and improvement of privacy compliance as regulations evolve.

Technical notes

Notes

The Epic Games Store website is built on a modern technology stack including React and Pug templating, with extensive use of web fonts for typography. The site is optimized for performance and mobile responsiveness, with good accessibility features. SEO best practices are implemented through comprehensive metadata and structured data. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but the presence of Google Site Verification and static asset domains suggests use of professional CDN and hosting services. The technical infrastructure supports a fast, reliable, and user-friendly experience with minimal technical debt apparent from the source code.
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.
