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

Framagames is a small, community-driven platform operated by the non-profit organization Framasoft, offering free and open source games playable online or offline. The website targets a general audience interested in free software and gaming, positioning itself as a niche player within the open source gaming community. The platform provides downloadable games and online play options, supported by community engagement and guides hosted on the parent Framasoft domain. Technically, the site is built using modern web technologies including Vue.js and Font Awesome, hosted by Gandi SAS. The website is mobile optimized with good SEO and accessibility basics, though some improvements could be made in accessibility and performance. The domain is well maintained with HTTPS and clientTransferProhibited status, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers which could enhance security posture. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data, but lacks explicit security policies, incident response information, and cookie consent mechanisms. Tracking is minimal and privacy policies are hosted on the parent domain, indicating reasonable privacy compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected. Overall, Framagames presents a trustworthy, well-maintained platform with a strong community focus. Strategic improvements in security headers, cookie consent, and public security policies would enhance its security posture and compliance. The site is safe for general audiences and aligns well with its non-profit, open source mission.

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 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 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

    • 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

Framagames operates under the umbrella of Framasoft, a recognized non-profit organization in France focused on promoting free software and open source projects. The platform's market positioning is niche, targeting users interested in free and open source games. Its business model is community and donation-driven, with no commercial advertising or affiliate marketing detected. Revenue streams likely come from donations and community support. The partnership ecosystem is closely tied to Framasoft's other projects and community platforms. Growth indicators include a stable domain age and consistent content updates. Strategic observations suggest leveraging the strong community base to expand outreach and enhance security and privacy transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers (such as CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options), and explicit incident response or security policies indicates room for improvement. The minimal tracking and lack of exposed sensitive data are positive indicators. Compliance with GDPR is implied through privacy policies on the parent domain, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. The security culture appears community-driven but could benefit from formalized policies and enhanced technical controls to mitigate risks and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  4. Publish explicit security and incident response policies on the website to enhance trust and preparedness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern front-end framework (Vue.js) with Font Awesome icons and CSS for styling. It is hosted by Gandi SAS, a reputable registrar and hosting provider. The site loads multiple images and fonts efficiently and includes meta tags for SEO and social sharing (Open Graph, Twitter cards). Performance is moderate with deferred JavaScript loading. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with more ARIA roles and semantic HTML. The site lacks CMS indications, suggesting a custom or static site approach. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which could be addressed to reduce attack surface and improve resilience.
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.
