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

Kiwi Casinos is an online affiliate platform specializing in providing comprehensive reviews, guides, and bonus information for online casinos targeting New Zealand players. The website positions itself as a niche market player focusing on the New Zealand gambling audience, offering valuable content such as casino ratings and game guides. The business model primarily revolves around affiliate marketing, generating revenue through referrals to online casinos. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with Bootstrap and FontAwesome, delivering a responsive and moderately performant user experience. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and standard security headers, reflecting a good security posture for an affiliate site. Privacy and cookie policies are present and indicate GDPR compliance, although direct company contact details are limited to a contact form. The domain WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is common in this sector but reduces transparency. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy within its niche but could improve business credibility by providing more direct contact information.

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

3 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. 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

  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 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

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

Kiwi Casinos operates in the online gambling affiliate sector, targeting New Zealand players with localized content and casino offers. Its competitive advantage lies in its focused market approach and comprehensive casino reviews tailored to the New Zealand audience. The revenue stream is primarily affiliate commissions from casino sign-ups and deposits. The site leverages partnerships with online casinos but does not publicly disclose partner domains. Growth indicators include regular content updates and active social media presence. The business ecosystem is typical for affiliate marketing, relying on digital marketing tools and tracking technologies. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance trust by improving transparency and expanding contact options.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture for an affiliate marketing platform. HTTPS is enforced site-wide, and multiple security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy are implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response information indicates room for improvement in formal security governance. Compliance with GDPR is suggested by the presence of privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not evident, which could be a gap in security culture. Overall, the site is secure but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a publicly accessible security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Add direct company contact emails and phone numbers to enhance business credibility and user trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update WordPress core and plugins to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance Content Security Policy with nonce or hash-based directives to strengthen protection against XSS.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Bootstrap for responsive design and FontAwesome for icons, indicating a modern and widely supported technology stack. JavaScript libraries such as jQuery are used for interactivity. The site is mobile-optimized with good navigation clarity and SEO practices including meta tags and structured data. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by standard WordPress overhead and external resources. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified. Technical risks include reliance on third-party plugins and potential outdated components if not regularly maintained. Opportunities exist to optimize performance and enhance accessibility compliance.
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.
