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

The website michiganbids.us is a Chinese language platform primarily focused on promoting and distributing lottery and gambling-related mobile applications for Android and Apple devices. The business appears to target Chinese-speaking users interested in lottery apps, offering app downloads, rankings, and recommendations. The website content and metadata emphasize lottery software and gaming, with a business model centered on app promotion and distribution. The registrant organization, fastnodes LLC, is based in Bangladesh, which does not align geographically or contextually with the Chinese-focused content, indicating a possible discrepancy in business operations or ownership. Technically, the website is built on the ThinkPHP framework with a custom CMS, using older JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.11.1 and Unslider for UI components. It employs Cloudflare DNS but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, which are important for domain and web security. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and SEO but lacks comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, which are critical for compliance and user trust. Analytics are implemented via Matomo, and Baidu link submission scripts are present, indicating some marketing efforts. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but does not implement advanced security headers or provide incident response contacts. The absence of privacy and cookie policies, combined with numerous external links to suspicious adult and gambling domains, raises concerns about user safety and regulatory compliance. The WHOIS data shows a domain registered in 2016 with public registrant information that does not match the website's target audience or content, reducing trustworthiness. Overall, the website presents moderate technical maturity but poor privacy, security, and business credibility. The presence of adult and gambling-related external links further complicates its trust profile. Strategic improvements in security practices, privacy compliance, and business transparency are recommended to enhance user trust and regulatory adherence.

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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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"

    • 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';…

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 platform operates in a niche market focused on lottery and gambling app promotion targeting Chinese-speaking users. Its competitive advantage lies in aggregating and recommending lottery-related apps for Android and Apple platforms. The business model appears to be affiliate or direct app distribution, potentially monetizing through downloads or advertising. The registrant's geographic mismatch and lack of clear business information suggest a loosely structured operation with limited transparency. The extensive network of external links, including many suspicious domains, indicates possible partnerships or affiliate relationships, though many are questionable. Growth indicators are unclear due to lack of business data. The partnership ecosystem includes numerous acceleration and VPN service sites, possibly to circumvent regional restrictions. Strategic observations highlight the need for improved legitimacy and compliance to sustain growth and market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled but lacks critical security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options. The use of an outdated jQuery version introduces potential vulnerabilities. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Incident response readiness is absent, with no security contact information provided. The domain lacks DNSSEC, reducing DNS security. The presence of numerous external links to adult and gambling sites increases risk exposure. Overall, the security maturity is low, with significant gaps that could impact user data protection and regulatory compliance. Immediate remediation is advised to address these vulnerabilities and improve the security culture.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Develop and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and enhance user trust.
  3. Implement essential security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Update all JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  5. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and establish an incident response process.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the ThinkPHP framework with a custom CMS and uses older frontend libraries such as jQuery 1.11.1 and Unslider. It integrates Matomo analytics and Baidu link submission scripts for tracking and SEO. Hosting details are not explicit, but DNS is managed via Cloudflare without DNSSEC. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility features are minimal. The site lacks modern security configurations and privacy compliance mechanisms. Technical debt is evident in outdated libraries and missing security controls. Modernization opportunities include upgrading the tech stack, enhancing security posture, and improving compliance frameworks to reduce operational risks.
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.
