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

GIANTS Software GmbH operates the official website for Farming Simulator, a leading farming simulation game with a strong global community and multi-platform availability. The website serves as a hub for game sales, downloadable content, mods, tutorials, and community engagement, supporting a diverse audience of gamers and content creators. The business model includes direct sales, DLC offerings, merchandise, and community-driven content, positioning GIANTS Software as a prominent player in the simulation gaming industry. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery and the Foundation framework, ensuring responsive design and good mobile optimization. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and SEO-friendly metadata, supporting a positive user experience. However, some technical details such as hosting provider and CMS are not explicitly identified. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes a cookie consent banner, indicating attention to privacy compliance. Nonetheless, the absence of explicit security headers and lack of visible incident response or security policy pages suggest areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is unavailable or protected, which slightly reduces transparency but is not uncommon for commercial entities. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and content-rich, with no signs of adult or questionable content. The main risk lies in the incomplete WHOIS data and limited direct contact information, which could be addressed to enhance trust and compliance.

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 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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

Farming Simulator by GIANTS Software GmbH holds a strong market position as a top farming simulation game with a dedicated user base. The company leverages multiple revenue streams including game sales, DLCs, and merchandise, supported by active community engagement through forums, social media, and modding platforms. Partnerships with major platform providers like PlayStation and Xbox enhance market reach. The business targets gamers across PC, consoles, and mobile devices, emphasizing accessibility and community involvement. Growth indicators include frequent updates, new DLC releases, and active social media channels. The company maintains a consistent brand image and fosters partnerships with hardware and peripheral manufacturers, strengthening its ecosystem.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with mandatory HTTPS encryption and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the lack of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces defense-in-depth. No direct contact channels for security incidents or vulnerability disclosures are provided, which may hinder incident response effectiveness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The absence of a security policy or certifications suggests room for maturity in formal security governance and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide clear contact information for reporting security incidents or vulnerabilities to improve incident response readiness.
  3. Enhance transparency by providing verified WHOIS information or a domain registration statement to build trust with users and partners.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Expand accessibility features and conduct periodic security assessments to maintain compliance with evolving privacy and security standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript with jQuery and the Foundation framework for responsive design. It supports multiple platforms and devices, ensuring broad accessibility. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of CSS files and optimized image usage. The site lacks a detectable CMS, suggesting a custom or proprietary solution. No hosting provider information was identified. SEO is well addressed through meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with enhanced ARIA roles and semantic markup. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from additional security and performance optimizations.
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.
