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

Hacksaw Gaming Ltd. is a premium B2B supplier specializing in slots, scratchcards, and instant win games for the online gaming industry. The company operates across more than 35 regulated markets and partners with over 3,000 operator brands, positioning itself as a significant player in the iGaming sector. Their offerings include a proprietary Remote Gaming Server platform and a partnership program called OpenRGS to facilitate content distribution. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with comprehensive gaming content and strong industry partnerships. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including jQuery, Slick Carousel, and a proprietary game launcher, hosted behind Cloudflare for performance and security. The site is mobile-optimized and includes SEO best practices such as meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic but functional. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement, age verification for responsible gaming, and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security headers and incident response policies are not publicly visible. From a security perspective, the site demonstrates a mature posture with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. Multiple gaming licenses from reputable authorities (MGA, UKGC, Hellenic Gaming Commission, Isle of Man) are prominently displayed, enhancing trust and compliance. However, the absence of a public terms of service page and explicit incident response contact details are areas for improvement. Overall, Hacksaw Gaming presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with strong compliance and security foundations. Strategic enhancements in security transparency and accessibility could further strengthen their position and user trust.

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. 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

  2. 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

  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.

    • 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

  4. 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"

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

Hacksaw Gaming operates as a specialized content provider in the iGaming industry, targeting online casino operators and gaming brands globally. Their business model focuses on delivering high-quality gaming content and platform services, leveraging a proprietary Remote Gaming Server to enable fast and secure distribution. The company’s extensive partner ecosystem includes major operators such as Bet365, Kindred Group, and Flutter Entertainment, indicating strong market penetration and collaborative growth. The presence of multiple regulatory licenses supports their legitimacy and ability to operate in diverse jurisdictions. Growth indicators include frequent game releases and expansion into new regulated markets, supported by a dedicated partnership program (OpenRGS). The company’s strategic focus on responsible gaming and compliance aligns with industry best practices and regulatory demands.

Security posture

The website’s security posture is robust, with HTTPS enforced site-wide and Cloudflare providing CDN and security services. Responsible gaming measures such as an age verification gate and cookie consent modal demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements. The display of multiple gaming licenses and certifications further supports a strong compliance culture. However, the lack of explicit security headers (e.g., Content Security Policy, HSTS) and absence of a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file indicate areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Incident response readiness is not publicly documented, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and trust. Overall, the security maturity is high but could benefit from additional visible security controls and policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly document security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and legal protections.
  3. Establish and disclose a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user inclusivity.
  5. Provide explicit incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern front-end stack including jQuery and Slick Carousel for UI components, with custom scripts for game launching. It uses Google Fonts and FontAwesome for typography and icons. Hosting is managed via Cloudflare, providing performance optimization and security. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with comprehensive meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with video content and rich media assets potentially impacting load times. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced by improving accessibility and adding security headers. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable online presence.
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.
