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

Hard Rock Games operates a free-to-play social casino gaming platform featuring online slots, jackpot games, blackjack, and puzzle games under the Hard Rock brand. The website targets casual gamers interested in social casino experiences without real money gambling. The platform leverages WordPress CMS with SEO and analytics integrations, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. While the site is accessible and well-designed with good mobile optimization, it lacks visible privacy policies, terms of service, and contact information, which are critical for user trust and compliance. The security posture is adequate with HTTPS enforced but lacks important security headers and incident response disclosures. The absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and registration transparency, warranting further investigation. Overall, the site presents a professional front but should improve compliance and security transparency to enhance trust and reduce risk.

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 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

The business is positioned in the niche social casino gaming market, leveraging the Hard Rock brand to attract users interested in free-to-play casino-style games. The business model focuses on engagement through social gaming rather than real-money gambling, likely monetizing via in-app purchases or advertising. The target audience includes casual and social gamers. The website's use of WordPress and common marketing tools suggests a standard digital marketing approach. Lack of detailed business information, contact data, and certifications limits the ability to fully assess business credibility. No clear partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the data provided.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS, which is a fundamental security measure. However, it lacks important HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options, which help mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No visible security policies or incident response contacts are provided, which reduces transparency and preparedness for security incidents. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, indicating some level of privacy compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content analyzed. The missing WHOIS data is a significant concern for domain legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires enhancements in headers, policies, and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add visible contact information including support and security incident response contacts.
  3. Enhance security by configuring and enforcing HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Investigate and resolve the missing WHOIS data issue to ensure domain registration transparency and legitimacy.
  5. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to maintain a strong security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using modern SEO and analytics plugins such as Rank Math PRO and MonsterInsights. It integrates Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics for marketing and tracking purposes. The site uses common front-end libraries and frameworks including Select2 and Flickity for UI components. Performance is moderate with some optimizations like font preloading and caching evident. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and viewport settings. Accessibility features are basic but present. The site lacks advanced security headers and detailed technical metadata related to hosting or server infrastructure was not found in the provided data.
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.
