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

The Curaçao Gaming Authority website serves as the official online presence for the government regulatory body overseeing the Curaçao gaming industry, including land-based casinos, lotteries, charity gaming, and online gaming under the National Ordinance on Games of Chance. The authority also supervises compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing regulations within the gaming sector. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with clear navigation and relevant content targeted at gaming operators, regulators, and the public. Technically, the website employs a moderate technology stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager, hosted on a CMS platform inferred as Spin CMS. The site is mobile optimized and performs moderately well, though some accessibility features could be improved. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced and CSRF tokens implemented, but lacks several recommended security headers and explicit privacy and cookie policies. From a security perspective, no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of WHOIS registration details due to a malformed WHOIS response limits domain trust verification. The site uses tracking technologies with moderate user tracking levels but lacks comprehensive privacy compliance indicators. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but would benefit from enhanced security headers, published privacy policies, and improved WHOIS transparency.

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. 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

  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"

      • 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

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

The Curaçao Gaming Authority holds a key regulatory position within the Curaçao gaming sector, providing licensing and oversight for land-based and online gaming activities. Its partnerships with the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten, the Financial Intelligence Unit, and international gaming regulator associations strengthen its regulatory effectiveness and credibility. The business model is focused on governance and compliance rather than commercial activities. The target audience includes gaming operators, government entities, and the general public interested in gaming regulation. The website content and external links reflect a well-established regulatory ecosystem, though the lack of detailed company founding information and WHOIS data suggests opportunities for improved transparency.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protection in place. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. The lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies indicates room for improvement in security governance and transparency. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no visible cookie consent mechanisms or privacy policies, which could pose compliance risks under GDPR or similar regulations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear and accessible privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR and privacy compliance.
  3. Establish and communicate incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to foster transparency and security culture.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Investigate and resolve WHOIS data issues to improve domain registration transparency and trustworthiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a CMS platform likely Spin CMS, utilizing a combination of jQuery, Bootstrap 3.3.4, and various jQuery plugins for UI components such as menus and slideshows. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for tracking and analytics. The site loads external fonts via Google Fonts and uses CDN-hosted assets for performance. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. However, the site could benefit from modernization by updating jQuery to a more recent version and implementing modern JavaScript frameworks or progressive web app features. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in caching and asset optimization. Accessibility is basic and could be enhanced with ARIA roles and better keyboard navigation support.
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.
