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

First Look Games operates a specialized iGaming marketing platform that connects game studios with affiliate marketers and publishers globally. The platform offers a comprehensive game library, premium marketing content, demo game servers, and API access, serving a large network of studios and publishers with over 20 million players reached. The company is positioned as a niche leader in iGaming affiliate marketing with a strong UK presence and a growing international footprint. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern tools like WPBakery, Google Tag Manager, and PostHog analytics, hosted with Cloudflare DNS services. The site demonstrates good SEO and mobile optimization but could improve accessibility and security headers. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and no exposed sensitive data, though DNSSEC is not enabled and security policies are not explicitly published. Privacy compliance is partially met with a comprehensive privacy policy but lacks a cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the domain registration and WHOIS data align well with the business claims, supporting legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

The company targets iGaming studios and affiliate marketers, providing marketing assets and demo games to facilitate compliant and effective promotion. Its business model is platform-based, leveraging a large network of publishers and studios to maximize game exposure. The presence of premium services and white-label solutions indicates diversified revenue streams. The company maintains active social media channels and publishes industry news and video content, enhancing its market visibility. The business is relatively young (founded 2018) but shows signs of maturity and growth. Strategic partnerships and a focus on compliance and accuracy management position it well in the competitive iGaming marketing sector.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses reputable DNS and hosting providers, contributing to a secure baseline. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some recommended security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options) represents areas for improvement. No security or incident response policies are publicly available, which could impact trust and readiness. The use of analytics tools is balanced with privacy settings, but cookie consent is missing, which may affect GDPR compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  4. Publish a security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with WPBakery Page Builder, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design. It integrates Google Tag Manager and PostHog for analytics and tracking. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare and Tucows registrar. The site shows good SEO practices with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with some heavy images and sliders but generally optimized for desktop and mobile. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. The technical stack is modern but would benefit from enhanced security configurations and cookie management to align with privacy standards.
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.
