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

The website www.gameawards.lt represents the LT Game Awards, an annual event organized by the Lithuanian Game Developers Association to recognize excellence and innovation in the Lithuanian video game industry. The site serves as a media and informational platform for the awards, showcasing winners, nominees, and partners. It targets game developers, industry professionals, and enthusiasts within Lithuania. The business model centers on event organization and industry promotion, positioning itself as a key player in the local gaming ecosystem. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using popular themes and plugins such as The7 theme, WPBakery Page Builder, and Slider Revolution. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation and content quality. However, some accessibility features and security headers are lacking, and no explicit privacy or cookie policies are found on the main page. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration but lacks visible security headers and formal privacy compliance mechanisms. No forms or contact emails are exposed on the homepage, limiting data collection risks but also reducing transparency. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, which raises some concerns about domain legitimacy verification, although the website content and partner references support its authenticity. Overall, the website is professionally designed and functional with moderate technical maturity. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and WHOIS transparency would enhance trust and security posture.

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

11 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

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 · found on this site
  • 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 LT Game Awards website operates as a niche event platform within the Lithuanian media sector, focusing on the gaming industry. It leverages partnerships with recognized organizations such as LRT and various industry sponsors, enhancing its market position. The business model is event-centric, relying on industry recognition and promotion rather than direct sales. The target audience includes game developers, industry stakeholders, and media. The site demonstrates consistent branding and good content relevance, supporting its role as a trusted industry resource. Growth indicators include a decade-long event history and active partner ecosystem. However, the lack of detailed business contact information and WHOIS transparency limits full business intelligence assessment.

Security posture

The website exhibits a basic to moderate security posture. HTTPS is properly implemented, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The lack of visible privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response contacts, indicates gaps in compliance and readiness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, limiting transparency for security researchers. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities are evident, enhancements in security headers, privacy compliance, and incident response mechanisms are recommended to strengthen security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit user consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish clear contact information for security incidents, including an incident response email or security.txt file.
  4. Improve accessibility features to meet standards and enhance user experience for all visitors.
  5. Investigate and resolve WHOIS data availability issues to improve domain legitimacy and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress platform using a well-known commercial theme (The7) and popular plugins like WPBakery Page Builder and Slider Revolution. It uses jQuery and Google Analytics for frontend interactivity and tracking. The site is mobile responsive with good navigation and content structure. Performance is moderate, with some large background images and video content that may impact load times. No hosting provider information was detected. The absence of security headers and privacy compliance features indicates some technical debt in security and compliance areas. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business needs but could benefit from modernization in security and privacy implementations.
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.
