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

8 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

  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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  3. 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

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

Card Player operates as a media entity in the gambling sector, focusing on UK online gamblers and crypto casino enthusiasts. Its business model relies on affiliate marketing and content monetization through advertising. The site maintains a strong market position by providing detailed, up-to-date content and trusted casino recommendations. Partnerships with advertising networks and affiliate programs enhance revenue streams. The target audience is adult UK residents interested in poker and crypto gambling. Growth is supported by continuous content updates and integration of emerging crypto casino trends.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of visible privacy and cookie policies indicate compliance gaps. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is found. The site uses third-party scripts and advertising networks, which require regular auditing to mitigate risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be strengthened by implementing comprehensive security headers, privacy compliance measures, and incident response readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to improve security posture.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and advertising integrations to prevent vulnerabilities.
  4. Establish and publicize an incident response plan and vulnerability disclosure policy to build trust.
  5. Verify and correct domain registration details to ensure consistency between WHOIS data and website content.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Bootstrap framework and uses jQuery and various plugins for functionality. Advertising and tracking are managed via Adform and Google Tag Manager. The site shows moderate performance and good mobile optimization. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) for articles and FAQs. Accessibility is basic but functional. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts and lack of advanced security headers. Opportunities exist to improve privacy compliance and security configurations to reduce technical debt and enhance user trust.
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.
