57/100

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

Gambling Affiliation operates as a leading independent affiliate network dedicated to the iGaming industry since 2005. The platform connects affiliates and operators globally, offering over 350 campaigns and access to more than 9000 affiliates. Their services include campaign management, marketing material provision, detailed reporting, and commission tracking, supported by dedicated affiliate managers. The company is based in Malta and positions itself as a trusted intermediary in the iGaming affiliate marketing space. Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap 4, Select2, and Google reCAPTCHA for security. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO practices and moderate performance. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and a cookie consent mechanism, though some security headers and explicit security policies are absent. The security posture is solid with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, the absence of a published security policy and incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR indicators. Overall, the website presents a professional, trustworthy, and functional platform with a strong business model and good technical implementation. Strategic enhancements in security policy transparency and incident response readiness would further strengthen its risk profile.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Gambling Affiliation holds a strong market position as a specialized affiliate network in the iGaming sector, leveraging 15+ years of experience. Its business model focuses on aggregating affiliate campaigns and providing a centralized management platform for affiliates and operators. Revenue streams likely include commissions from affiliate marketing and software solutions for advertisers. The company targets iGaming affiliates and operators primarily in Europe and LATAM. Its partnership ecosystem includes major payment processors like Neteller and Skrill, enhancing its service offerings. The presence of testimonials and dedicated affiliate managers supports customer trust and retention. Growth indicators include a large number of campaigns and affiliates, and continuous recruitment of active players. The company operates under Net Business Ltd, based in Malta, which aligns with the iGaming industry's regulatory environment.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google reCAPTCHA on login forms to mitigate automated attacks. Cookie consent mechanisms indicate awareness of privacy regulations. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts limit transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of multiple third-party libraries necessitates regular vulnerability assessments to maintain security. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security policies and improving header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Add explicit incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses to facilitate vulnerability reporting and response.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans of third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate risks from outdated components.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide detailed data retention policies to strengthen privacy compliance and user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern front-end technology stack featuring jQuery, Bootstrap 4, Select2, and GSAP for animations, ensuring a responsive and interactive user experience. Google reCAPTCHA integration adds a layer of security for user authentication. The site loads multiple external libraries from reputable CDNs, which supports performance but requires monitoring for dependency vulnerabilities. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO practices are evident through meta tags and structured navigation. However, the absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform, which may impact ease of content management and scalability. Hosting provider details are not disclosed, limiting infrastructure assessment. Overall, the technical implementation is solid with moderate performance and opportunities for further optimization.
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.
