75/100

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

Casino City Press operates the Gaming Almanac Online platform, providing specialized gaming market intelligence services including revenue data, statistics, property profiles, and market analysis tools for various gaming sectors such as North American, Indian, global gaming, and iGaming industries. The company targets gaming industry professionals and businesses seeking detailed market insights and operates a subscription and trial-based business model. Technically, the website is built on Microsoft IIS with ASP.NET 4.0 and uses jQuery libraries alongside Google Analytics for tracking. However, the site lacks a valid SSL certificate and modern security configurations, exposing it to potential risks. The security posture is weak with no GDPR compliance indicators or security policies visible. Overall, the site offers good content relevance but basic design and user experience, with moderate trustworthiness due to the lack of security best practices.

3 of 7 checks could not complete. The site may be unreachable or blocking automated scans, so the results below cover only what could be checked. Try a rescan later.

NIS2 and GDPR posture

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

2 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

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.
  • GDPR outside view: 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

Casino City Press holds a niche position in the gaming market intelligence sector, offering comprehensive data and analysis tools tailored to gaming operators and analysts. Their ecosystem includes multiple partner domains focused on different gaming segments, enhancing their market coverage. The business model relies on subscription services with free trial options to attract customers. The company appears medium-sized and US-based, with consistent branding and good content quality. The lack of visible privacy or security policies and limited digital maturity in security practices may impact customer trust and compliance readiness.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is low, with no valid SSL certificate and no TLS protocols enabled, resulting in unencrypted HTTP traffic. The absence of security headers, HSTS, DNSSEC, and CAA records further weakens the security posture. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies are found, indicating limited preparedness for security incidents. The site does not demonstrate GDPR compliance or data protection officer presence. These gaps expose the business to risks including data interception, phishing, and regulatory non-compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure all website traffic.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or higher) and disable insecure legacy protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload options.
  4. Publish clear privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies to improve compliance and transparency.
  5. Establish and communicate an incident response and vulnerability disclosure process.
Technical notes

Notes

The website runs on Microsoft IIS 10.0 with ASP.NET 4.0 and uses jQuery and jQuery UI libraries for frontend interactivity. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for user tracking. DNS is managed via Cloudflare, but DNSSEC is not enabled. The site lacks a CMS indication and shows basic performance metrics with no resource or page size data. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, and SEO optimization is minimal. The absence of a valid SSL certificate and modern security protocols represents a critical technical debt and risk. Modernization opportunities include upgrading security, improving performance, and enhancing user experience.
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.
