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. 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 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. 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

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 website reflects a mature, enterprise-level digital presence with strong brand consistency and professional content quality. Minecraft benefits from Microsoft's backing, leveraging a robust ecosystem including educational initiatives and community engagement platforms. The site integrates multiple trusted external domains for support, feedback, and merchandise, indicating a well-established partnership and subsidiary network. The business model is diversified across direct sales, subscriptions, and marketplace content, targeting a broad audience from casual gamers to educators. Growth indicators include active community programs and continuous content updates.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a strong security posture with HTTPS enforced, modern TLS protocols, and multiple security headers implemented. Cookie consent mechanisms comply with GDPR requirements, and tracking is conducted via reputable analytics services like Microsoft Clarity and Adobe Helix RUM. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. Overall, the site maintains good security hygiene appropriate for a high-profile gaming brand.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response and abuse contact information to enhance transparency.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Add clear company contact information for security and general inquiries to improve trust and compliance.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance data retention policy disclosures related to analytics and user data to strengthen privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS, integrating Microsoft and Adobe analytics and consent management tools. It uses modern JavaScript libraries and real user monitoring for performance insights. Hosting appears to be on Microsoft Azure infrastructure, ensuring scalability and reliability. The site is mobile-optimized with excellent accessibility and SEO practices. Performance is fast with no broken elements detected. Opportunities exist to further modernize by adopting additional security frameworks and enhancing transparency around data protection and incident response.
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.
