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

Gaming Associates operates primarily in the technology sector, focusing on the iGaming compliance and certification market. Their business model revolves around providing specialized testing, certification, and advisory services to a diverse client base including game developers, operators, and regulatory bodies. The company leverages its extensive industry knowledge and accreditations to build trust and acceptance in regulated markets. Their partnership with Risk Associates for threat intelligence and multiple subsidiary domains for regional certifications indicate a strategic approach to market expansion and service diversification. The company targets regulated iGaming markets globally, emphasizing quality, independence, and regulatory compliance as key competitive advantages.

Security posture

The website and associated services demonstrate a mature security posture with valid SSL certificates, adherence to key ISO standards (ISO/IEC 17025, 17020, 17065, and 27001), and no detected major SSL vulnerabilities. However, the absence of modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2/1.3) and missing HSTS headers indicate areas for improvement. The company emphasizes independence, impartiality, and confidentiality in its operations, aligning with industry best practices. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies were found, suggesting potential gaps in transparency and readiness. The presence of a comprehensive privacy policy with GDPR compliance is a positive indicator of data protection awareness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS and prevent downgrade attacks.
  2. Upgrade SSL/TLS configuration to support TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 for enhanced security and compatibility.
  3. Implement a visible cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and ePrivacy regulations.
  4. Publish a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance incident response readiness by providing dedicated security contact channels and clear procedures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Elementor page builder and several plugins including Yoast SEO, Contact Form 7, and Essential Addons for Elementor. It is hosted on a LiteSpeed server with an IP address associated with DigitalOcean. The site employs modern front-end technologies such as jQuery, Swiper, and various JavaScript libraries for animations and interactivity. SEO optimization is excellent, with comprehensive metadata, Open Graph tags, and structured data. Performance is fast, and mobile optimization is good. However, the SSL configuration lacks support for modern protocols, and some security headers could be improved. The site collects user data via contact and subscription forms with explicit consent checkboxes, indicating good data collection practices.
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.
