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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

    • 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

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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';…

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

GosuGamers operates in the media sector with a focus on esports and gaming content. Its business model revolves around content creation, advertising revenue, and possibly partnerships with esports organizations. The site targets a niche but growing market of esports fans and gamers, offering timely news and data-driven insights. The presence of regional partner sites indicates a strategy for localized content delivery. The company maintains a consistent brand identity and leverages Google advertising and analytics tools to monetize and optimize user engagement. While direct contact information is limited, the site’s legitimacy is supported by consistent WHOIS data and a professional online presence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing risks of common web attacks. The use of reCAPTCHA indicates protection against automated abuse. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of publicly available security policies or incident response contacts suggests room for improvement in transparency and readiness. Compliance with GDPR is implied through cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policy content. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced communication of security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance visibility of contact information for security and privacy concerns to facilitate communication.
  5. Continue monitoring and optimizing security headers and SSL configurations to maintain high security standards.

Technical notes

Notes

The site is built using Next.js, a modern React framework, combined with Material-UI for UI components, ensuring a responsive and performant user experience. It uses WebP images for optimized media delivery and integrates Google services for analytics, advertising, and tag management. The HTML is well-structured with comprehensive meta tags and JSON-LD structured data for SEO. Performance is fast with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or headless CMS approach. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML. The technical infrastructure supports scalability and modern web standards, positioning the site well for future growth.
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.
