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

Minesweeper Quest is a small-scale online gaming website offering a free version of the classic Minesweeper puzzle game. It operates under the Casual Games Collection brand, which manages a portfolio of casual game websites. The site targets general audiences interested in casual puzzle games and monetizes primarily through advertising and premium subscriptions to remove ads. The website is well-branded and consistent with its parent company’s portfolio. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript, jQuery, and SVG graphics, with Google Analytics and Google Adsense for analytics and monetization. Hosting and DNS are managed via Google Domains and associated services. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and game controls. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks DNSSEC and advanced security headers, and does not publish a formal security policy or incident response contacts. Privacy compliance is basic, with privacy and cookie policies present but no strong GDPR indicators. Contact information is limited to a feedback form, with no direct emails or phone numbers. Overall, the site is legitimate and safe for general audiences, with moderate technical maturity and a good business model for casual gaming. Strategic improvements in security policies, contact transparency, and DNS security would enhance trust and compliance.

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

6 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  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 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

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

Minesweeper Quest is positioned as a niche casual gaming site within the broader Casual Games Collection ecosystem. Its competitive advantage lies in offering classic puzzle games with a clean, ad-supported experience and optional premium subscriptions. Revenue streams are primarily advertising-based, supplemented by premium account sales. The target customers are casual gamers worldwide seeking free, browser-based puzzle games. The partnership ecosystem includes sister sites offering other casual games, enhancing cross-promotion and user retention. Growth indicators include multi-language support and daily tasks to engage users. The company operates with a lean structure, focusing on digital delivery and ad monetization.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents gaps that could be exploited. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is basic, with cookie consent mechanisms but no strong GDPR compliance signals. The site does not expose vulnerable libraries or forms with obvious security flaws. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a casual gaming site but could be improved to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options.
  3. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Provide direct company contact emails and phone numbers for support and security reporting.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosure and improve trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based front end with jQuery and SVG for graphics. It integrates Google Analytics and Google Adsense for tracking and monetization, along with FusePlatform for additional ad services. The site is hosted with DNS managed by Google Domains, indicating reliable infrastructure. Performance is moderate, with preconnect and preload hints for optimization. Mobile optimization is good, and accessibility features are basic but present. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. No CMS is detected, suggesting a custom or static site approach. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface.
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.
