Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern libraries such as jQuery and Swiper, and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though security headers and incident response policies are absent.

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. 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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: PostgreSQL

      Port 5432 (PostgreSQL) is publicly accessible - PostgreSQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to PostgreSQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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 · found on this site
  • 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

Helio Gaming operates in the technology sector, focusing on lottery gaming solutions for operators and partners. Their business model is B2B, providing customizable lottery platforms and games to increase player engagement and revenue. The company leverages partnerships with regulatory bodies and technology firms like iPoint for development. Market positioning is as an innovative and reliable lottery solution provider with a strong presence in Malta, a recognized gaming hub. Growth indicators include a comprehensive product suite and active social media channels. The company targets lottery operators and gaming businesses seeking turnkey or bespoke lottery solutions. Their licensing and regulatory compliance enhance competitive advantage and trustworthiness in a highly regulated industry.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and no exposed sensitive data. However, it lacks several security best practices such as security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options) and published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies. No signs of vulnerable libraries or insecure forms were detected. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly visible, which could impact stakeholder confidence. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved by formalizing policies and enhancing technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with explicit consent mechanisms to ensure GDPR compliance.
  2. Implement security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Develop and publicly share incident response and vulnerability disclosure policies to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Add contact information for a Data Protection Officer or privacy contact to strengthen data protection governance.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate risks from vulnerable components.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.1, utilizing jQuery 3.7.1 and Swiper 4.1.6 for interactive elements. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics and tracking. The site uses Autoptimize for asset optimization, indicating attention to performance. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and viewport settings. SEO is supported by meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider details are not explicit but the site uses CDN resources from Cloudflare's CDNJS. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement by updating Swiper to a newer version and further optimizing scripts. Accessibility is basic, with room for enhancements such as ARIA roles and keyboard navigation support.
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.
