GambleAware · Non-profit · United Kingdom
Low risk. 2 critical or high findings in Security headers and SSL/TLS.
GambleAware is a UK-based non-profit organization dedicated to providing free, confidential advice and support for individuals affected by gambling addiction. The website serves as a resource hub offering tools, information, and guidance to those worried about their own or others' gambling behaviors. Positioned as a trusted entity in the responsible gambling sector, GambleAware targets individuals and families seeking help and education on gambling-related issues. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, and Cookiebot for consent management, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. The site is well-optimized for mobile devices and demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices. The use of Cookiebot ensures GDPR compliance with granular cookie consent options, enhancing user privacy. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and integrates cookie consent mechanisms, but lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security in the provided data. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of a security.txt or public incident response policy suggests room for improvement in transparency and security communication. Overall, GambleAware presents a professional, trustworthy online presence with strong privacy and compliance focus. The lack of WHOIS data due to privacy protection is typical for non-profits and does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing vulnerability disclosure and incident response information, and providing clearer contact details to improve user trust and security posture.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
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.
2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
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.
Prevents clickjacking attacks
What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"
TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.
SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak
What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
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
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.
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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
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.
