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

GamblingTV.com is a specialized media platform focused on the gambling and iGaming industry, providing a rich mix of video content, podcasts, interviews, and webinars targeted at industry professionals and enthusiasts. The website is part of the broader SBC group, which operates multiple related media brands, enhancing its market position and content diversity. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with a modern plugin ecosystem, uses Cloudflare DNS, and integrates Matomo Analytics and Broadstreet Ads for tracking and monetization. The site is mobile-optimized and employs GDPR-compliant cookie consent mechanisms, though it lacks a visible privacy policy and terms of service on the main site. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and domain protection flags, but could be improved by enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers and incident response information. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned in its niche, with moderate tracking and advertising practices typical for media sites in regulated industries.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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';…

  3. 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs, Google Ads

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 platform serves a niche market of gambling industry stakeholders, including operators, affiliates, and regulators. Its business model centers on content publishing and advertising revenue, supported by a network of related SBC media brands. The site targets a global audience interested in gambling news, regulation, and player protection. The domain age and registration details support a mature and stable business presence. The partnership ecosystem is strong, linking to multiple SBC group sites, enhancing cross-promotion and market reach. Growth indicators include active content updates and multimedia formats. However, the absence of direct contact information and formal policies may limit some business credibility aspects.

Security posture

The website benefits from HTTPS encryption and domain registration protections such as clientDeleteProhibited status. It uses Cloudflare for DNS, which adds resilience. Cookie consent is implemented via a reputable GDPR plugin. However, the lack of DNSSEC, absence of security headers (e.g., CSP, HSTS), and missing public security policies or incident response contacts represent gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The security score is moderate, reflecting a generally secure but improvable posture. The site would benefit from publishing a security.txt file and formalizing incident response channels to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), Strict-Transport-Security (HSTS), X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the homepage.
  4. Add a security policy page and incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email addresses).
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures and improve transparency.

The site is built on a modern WordPress CMS version 6.7.2 with a suite of plugins for content management, GDPR compliance, and advertising. It uses jQuery 3.7.1 and integrates Matomo Analytics for user tracking, along with Broadstreet Ads for monetization. Hosting appears to leverage Cloudflare DNS services, enhancing availability and security. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO practices including structured data (JSON-LD) and Open Graph metadata.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional media platform with room for security and performance enhancements.
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.
