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

The Gibraltar Betting and Gaming Association (GBGA) serves as the official trade association representing licensed gambling operators in Gibraltar. It acts as a unified voice for the industry, engaging with regulators, legislators, and key decision makers both locally and internationally. The association organizes work streams, training, and advocates for a transparent, competitive, and safe gambling market. The website is professionally designed using Squarespace, with good content quality and clear navigation, targeting industry stakeholders and members. Technical infrastructure is modern and hosted on Squarespace, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, though explicit security and privacy policies are missing. Overall, the site is trustworthy and safe for general audiences, but could improve privacy compliance and incident response 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

2 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 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. 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

GBGA occupies a niche market position as the representative body for Gibraltar's licensed gambling sector. Its business model focuses on advocacy, industry coordination, and regulatory engagement. The association leverages partnerships and events to enhance its influence. The website content and announcements indicate active participation in industry events and collaborations. The lack of direct contact information on the site suggests a controlled communication channel, likely through member-only access or direct outreach. The association's small size and specialized sector focus align with its role as an essential industry body.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS and HSTS headers, indicating strong transport layer security. The presence of a GDPR-compliant cookie consent banner shows awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of published privacy policies, terms of service, security policies, and incident response information represents gaps in transparency and compliance best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The site would benefit from publishing formal security and privacy documentation and establishing clear incident response contacts to enhance trust and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer.
  2. Develop and display a formal security policy and incident response plan with contact details.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Add clear contact information including official emails and phone numbers for business and security inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, utilizing its CMS and hosting services. It employs modern web technologies including JavaScript libraries (YUI 3), Typekit fonts, and optimized image delivery via Squarespace CDN. The site loads with moderate speed and is mobile responsive. SEO is supported by proper meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected. The technical setup is stable and suitable for the association's needs, though further enhancements in accessibility and privacy features are recommended.
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.
