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

Gamezebo is a well-established gaming media website specializing in casual gaming content including news, reviews, walkthroughs, and features primarily for mobile, PC, and Switch platforms. The site targets casual and dedicated gamers seeking detailed gaming resources. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern web technologies and integrates multiple advertising and analytics platforms, including AdThrive and Google Tag Manager. The website is well-optimized for desktop and mobile users, with good SEO and accessibility practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and consent management implemented, though explicit security headers and published security policies are absent. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises concerns about domain registration transparency, which slightly impacts trustworthiness. Overall, the site presents a professional and trustworthy front for gaming content, but domain registration details should be verified for full legitimacy assurance.

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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • 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

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

Gamezebo operates in the media sector with a focus on gaming content, leveraging advertising as its primary revenue stream. The site has a strong market position within casual gaming niches and maintains active social media channels to engage its audience. Its business model revolves around content publishing and monetization through multiple ad networks and retargeting services. The site demonstrates growth potential through consistent content updates and platform-specific coverage. Partnerships with major ad networks and consent management providers indicate a mature digital marketing ecosystem. However, the lack of visible company contact information and domain registration transparency may limit some business credibility aspects.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses consent management tools to comply with privacy regulations, indicating a baseline security and privacy posture. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program was found, which are important for mature security governance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site would benefit from publishing clear security and incident response information and implementing additional HTTP security headers to enhance protection against common web threats.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy page to improve privacy compliance and user trust.
  2. Add explicit HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security governance maturity.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Verify and disclose domain registration details or ensure WHOIS data transparency to improve domain legitimacy and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including Google Fonts and multiple JavaScript libraries for advertising and analytics. It integrates AdThrive for ad management and uses ConsentManager for GDPR and CCPA compliance. The site loads asynchronously scripts for performance and includes structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO enhancement. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. There is no indication of legacy or vulnerable libraries in the HTML content. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. The site could improve by optimizing security headers and enhancing privacy policy visibility.
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.
