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

Newzoo is a well-established company founded in 2003, specializing in providing industry-leading PC and console games data, gamer research, and market sizing and forecasting insights. Positioned as a global leader in the gaming data sector, Newzoo targets businesses and professionals seeking comprehensive analytics to inform strategic decisions. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, supported by structured data and social media presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern plugins such as Yoast SEO and LiteSpeed Cache, leveraging Cloudflare for DNS and hosting. The site uses Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, and includes Font Awesome for iconography. Performance and mobile optimization are good, though accessibility features are basic. SEO is well implemented with proper meta tags and structured data. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with a good SSL configuration and Cloudflare's protection. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and some security headers are not explicitly present. There is no visible security policy, incident response information, or vulnerability disclosure page, which are areas for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, Newzoo's website is professional, secure, and credible, though it lacks explicit privacy and cookie policies in the analyzed content. The site is safe for general audiences and does not contain adult or questionable content. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, adding security and incident response documentation, and enhancing security headers to improve the security posture further.

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

4 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 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 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

Newzoo operates in the technology sector, focusing on gaming market data and analytics. Its business model revolves around providing subscription-based access to detailed market research, gamer insights, and forecasting tools. The company enjoys a strong market position as a global leader in PC and console games data. Its target customers include gaming companies, marketers, and analysts. The website's content and branding are consistent and professional, supporting its credibility. The company has a medium size and a long operational history since 2003. Social media links and structured data enhance its digital footprint. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified in the provided data.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and Cloudflare integration providing DNS and DDoS protection. The domain status clientTransferProhibited adds an additional layer of domain security. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. No direct contact channels for incident response or security policies are visible, which could hinder timely vulnerability reporting and response. The use of Sentry for error tracking is a positive indicator of proactive monitoring. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by implementing recommended best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response page with contact channels like security@ or abuse@ emails.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all users.

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.
