75/100

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

GamingRegulation.com, operated by Casino City Press, is a specialized information platform providing comprehensive resources on gaming regulation worldwide. The site offers news, regulatory agency directories, vendor licensing guides, advisory services, and a Q&A section targeting gaming industry professionals and stakeholders. It maintains a strong market position as a niche provider with a long operational history since 1999. Technically, the site uses ColdFusion backend technology with front-end reliance on jQuery and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user tracking. Hosting is via Cloudflare, providing security and performance benefits. Security posture is solid with strict transport security, frame options, and content security policies, but the SSL configuration lacks modern TLS protocol support, which is a notable weakness. The site lacks explicit cookie consent mechanisms and detailed security or incident response policies. Overall, the website is professionally designed with good content relevance and navigation clarity, but improvements in mobile optimization and security protocol modernization are recommended.

Scanned

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

3 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"

  2. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • 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

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

The business model centers on providing authoritative gaming regulation information and directories, monetized through advertising and newsletter subscriptions. The target audience includes gaming operators, suppliers, regulatory agencies, and advisors globally. The company leverages partnerships within the Casino City Business Network, enhancing its market reach. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its extensive regulatory contacts database and curated news feed. Growth opportunities exist in expanding digital services and improving compliance transparency. The partnership ecosystem includes legal advisory firms and affiliate marketing sites, supporting a diversified revenue stream.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with implementation of key HTTP security headers such as HSTS with preload, X-Frame-Options DENY, and a restrictive Content-Security-Policy. However, the absence of modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2/1.3) significantly reduces the effectiveness of SSL security. No DNSSEC or CAA records are configured, which could mitigate DNS-related risks. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, indicating gaps in transparency and readiness. The site does not provide a cookie consent mechanism, which may impact GDPR compliance. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in encryption standards and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Upgrade SSL configuration to support TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols to enhance encryption strength.
  2. Implement a comprehensive cookie policy with explicit user consent to comply with privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact details to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Enable DNSSEC and configure CAA records to strengthen DNS security posture.
  5. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility to improve user experience across devices.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a ColdFusion backend with front-end JavaScript libraries including jQuery and various plugins for UI enhancements. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for tracking and uses Twitter widgets for social media content. Hosting is managed via Cloudflare, providing DNS and CDN services. Performance metrics indicate fast load times, though no explicit mobile optimization is evident beyond basic styling. SEO is supported by canonical links and meta tags. The site uses legacy SSL protocols, which is a technical debt and security risk. The overall infrastructure is stable but would benefit from modernization of encryption protocols and enhanced front-end responsiveness.
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.
