Gaming Labs International (GLI) is a leading global provider of testing, certification, and professional services for the gaming industry. Established in 1996, GLI offers a comprehensive range of services including traditional gaming testing, digital iGaming, cybersecurity, forensic analysis, and regulatory consulting. The company targets regulators, suppliers, and operators worldwide, positioning itself as a trusted authority in gaming compliance and security. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and extensive content tailored to industry stakeholders. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern frameworks such as Bootstrap 5 and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, Hotjar, and CookieScript for privacy compliance. Hosting is supported by Oracle Cloud DNS services. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility features, and SEO practices, contributing to a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs domain transfer protections. However, DNSSEC is not enabled and some security headers like Content-Security-Policy are missing, representing areas for improvement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies, including GDPR considerations. Overall, GLI's website presents a trustworthy and professional image consistent with its industry leadership. The domain registration data supports legitimacy with a long history and consistent business identity. Strategic recommendations include enhancing DNS security, implementing additional security headers, and publishing vulnerability disclosure information to further strengthen trust and security posture.

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 Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

GLI holds a strong market position as a specialized testing and certification provider in the gaming sector. Its business model revolves around offering compliance, security, and consulting services to regulators, operators, and suppliers globally. The company leverages its extensive industry expertise and certifications to maintain competitive advantage. The website content and structure indicate a focus on education (GLI University), professional services, and regulatory support, highlighting diversified revenue streams. Active social media engagement and event participation suggest ongoing growth and partnership development. The absence of parent or subsidiary companies indicates an independent operation with a focused niche. The company’s branding and content quality reinforce its credibility and market leadership.

Security posture

GLI demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level. The use of HTTPS and domain transfer lock status are positive indicators. However, the lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Content-Type-Options suggest room for enhancement. No public incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms were found, which could impact rapid response to security events. The presence of cookie consent and privacy policies aligns with regulatory compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the industry but would benefit from implementing recommended best practices to mitigate emerging threats and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve DNS security.
  2. Implement a comprehensive Content-Security-Policy header to reduce risks of XSS and code injection.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to provide clear vulnerability disclosure and incident response contacts.
  4. Add additional security headers such as X-Content-Type-Options and X-Frame-Options for enhanced protection.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to avoid vulnerabilities and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Bootstrap 5 for responsive design and jQuery for client-side scripting. It integrates advanced slider plugins (Smart Slider 3) and international telephone input libraries. Hosting DNS is managed via Oracle Cloud name servers. The site loads multiple external resources from reputable CDNs and analytics providers, indicating a modern and scalable infrastructure. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. Accessibility features such as font resizing and keyboard navigation are implemented, enhancing usability. SEO is supported by Yoast SEO plugin with structured data in JSON-LD format. The technical stack is current but could improve security headers and DNS configurations 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.
