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

Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) is a leading global provider of testing, certification, and professional services for the gaming industry. The company offers a broad range of services including traditional gaming testing, iGaming, cybersecurity, responsible gaming initiatives, and training through GLI University. GLI positions itself as a market leader with a comprehensive service portfolio targeting regulators, suppliers, and operators worldwide. The website reflects a mature digital presence with strong branding, excellent content quality, and good SEO and accessibility practices. Technically, the site runs on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries and integrates marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and HubSpot. Security-wise, the site has a valid SSL certificate but lacks modern TLS protocol support and some advanced security headers. Cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies are implemented, indicating compliance with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, GLI demonstrates a strong market position and digital maturity but could improve its security posture by enabling TLS 1.2+, HSTS, and DNS security features.

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

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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 · found on this site
  • 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

GLI operates in the technology sector focused on gaming industry compliance and certification. Its business model revolves around providing independent testing, certification, consulting, and training services to gaming operators, regulators, and suppliers globally. The company leverages partnerships with security and marketing service providers such as Barracuda Networks and HubSpot. The presence of multiple upcoming industry events and testimonials indicates active engagement with the market and clients. GLI's competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive service offerings and recognized certifications. The company targets a large enterprise market segment with a focus on regulatory compliance and technological innovation in gaming. The website's content and structure support lead generation and client engagement through contact forms and event promotions.

Security posture

The website's security posture is moderate. It employs a valid SSL certificate but does not currently support modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or TLS 1.3), which is a significant gap. Security headers such as HSTS are not enabled, and DNSSEC and CAA records are absent, reducing domain security. Session cookies are set with Secure and HttpOnly flags, which is good practice. No known SSL vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or POODLE are detected. There is no visible security policy or incident response information on the site, and no security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure. The site uses third-party marketing and analytics tools, which may increase privacy risks if not properly managed. Overall, while basic security practices are in place, there are critical areas for improvement to enhance protection and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable TLS 1.2 or higher protocols to ensure secure encrypted communications.
  2. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  3. Deploy DNSSEC and CAA records to protect DNS integrity and control certificate issuance.
  4. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Enhance security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.7.2 running on Apache with PHP 8.2.28, indicating a modern and supported technology stack. It uses popular JavaScript libraries including jQuery, Swiper.js, and Smart Slider 3 for UI components. SEO is enhanced via Yoast SEO plugin, and accessibility is supported by WP Accessibility Helper. Hosting DNS is managed via Oracle Cloud DNS servers. Performance metrics are not explicitly provided but inferred fast load times and good mobile optimization. The site integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, HubSpot, and Autopilot, reflecting a mature digital marketing strategy. However, the lack of modern TLS protocols and some security headers indicates technical debt in security configuration that should be addressed to reduce risk.
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.
