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

8 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

  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

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 business model focuses on fair economics for developers and direct engagement with players, supported by a robust ecosystem including subscription services and modding communities. The company targets gamers and developers globally, leveraging its parent company Epic Games' brand and resources. The platform's extensive social media presence and comprehensive policies enhance its trustworthiness and customer engagement. Growth indicators include continuous feature updates and partnerships with major game publishers.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, modern security headers, and secure form handling. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Privacy compliance is robust with clear policies and consent mechanisms. However, no explicit incident response or security policy pages were found, suggesting an opportunity to improve transparency in security governance. The absence of vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files is noted but not uncommon for commercial storefronts. Overall, the security maturity is high with recommendations to maintain ongoing audits and enhance incident response visibility.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Continue regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate emerging threats.
  4. Enhance contact information availability for security and general inquiries to improve user support.
  5. Maintain and improve privacy compliance measures in line with evolving regulations such as GDPR and NIS2.

The website is built on a modern technology stack including React and Pug templating, with extensive use of web fonts and optimized assets served from Epic's CDN. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices evident in meta tags and structured data. Performance is fast with minimal blocking resources. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom-built platform. Hosting details are not explicitly available but likely managed by Epic Games' infrastructure.

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.
