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

Game Days is a specialized gaming conference based in Košice, Slovakia, organized by Grindstone s.r.o. The event focuses on connecting industry experts, indie developers, and creatives in a collaborative environment. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting gaming professionals and enthusiasts in the region. The business model centers on event organization supported by sponsorships and partnerships with notable industry players and local organizations. Technically, the website is built using modern frameworks such as Nuxt.js and Vue.js, hosted likely by Websupport, with good mobile optimization and moderate performance. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking but lacks a cookie consent mechanism and some security headers. The SSL configuration is excellent, and DNSSEC is enabled, indicating good domain security practices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and DNSSEC but could improve by adding security headers, a cookie consent banner, and publishing security and incident response policies. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Privacy compliance is basic, with a privacy policy present but no cookie policy or GDPR explicit indicators. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional with a good security posture but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and security best practices to improve user trust and regulatory adherence.

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

9 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

    • 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

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

Game Days holds a niche position as a boutique gaming conference in Slovakia, targeting industry professionals, indie developers, and creatives. Its competitive advantage lies in its regional focus and strong partnerships with local game development associations and companies. Revenue streams likely include ticket sales, sponsorships, and partnerships. The event fosters community building and knowledge sharing, positioning itself as a key regional gaming industry event. The partnership ecosystem includes recognized organizations such as SGDA and GameDev Košice, enhancing credibility and reach. Growth indicators include consistent event scheduling and expanding sponsor lists. The business operates under Grindstone s.r.o., a Slovak company founded in 2017, aligning with the domain registration date. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear branding and social media engagement, supporting its market position and outreach efforts.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced with a valid SSL certificate, and DNSSEC is enabled, which protects against DNS spoofing. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap in defense-in-depth strategies. No forms or input fields were detected that could expose vulnerabilities, and no sensitive data leakage was observed. Privacy compliance is partial; while a privacy policy exists, there is no cookie consent mechanism or explicit GDPR compliance indicators. Incident response and security policy information are not published, which could hinder timely response to security incidents. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be significantly improved with additional controls and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and improve user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security readiness and build trust.
  4. Develop and publish terms of service to clarify user rights and responsibilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and meet web standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework stack using Nuxt.js and Vue.js, enabling server-side rendering and SPA capabilities. It leverages Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, and uses external resources such as Font Awesome and Google Fonts for UI consistency. Hosting is inferred to be with Websupport based on DNS nameservers, a reputable Slovak hosting provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and responsive design. The site uses lazy loading for images and modern CSS techniques for styling. However, there is room for improvement in SEO and accessibility compliance. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or framework-based site. The technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy features.
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.
