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

Nintendo is a globally recognized leader in the video game industry, offering a wide range of gaming consoles, software, and digital services. The official German website serves as a localized portal providing product information, account management, and customer support tailored for German-speaking users. The site reflects Nintendo's strong market position and commitment to user engagement through a professional and well-branded online presence. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies, including CDN delivery, asynchronous JavaScript loading, and cookie consent frameworks, ensuring fast performance and compliance with privacy regulations such as GDPR. Security measures are robust, with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, contributing to a high security posture. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected. The absence of WHOIS data is noted but likely due to privacy or registry policies rather than malicious intent. Overall, the website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure aligned with Nintendo's enterprise status and global brand reputation.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      • 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

Nintendo's business model focuses on hardware and software sales, digital content distribution, and online services. The German site targets consumers and gamers in Germany, providing localized content and services. The company benefits from strong brand equity, a loyal customer base, and a diversified product portfolio. Partnerships and related domains such as accounts.nintendo.com support user account management and enhance service delivery. The website's comprehensive privacy and cookie policies indicate a strong compliance culture. The lack of direct contact information on the main page suggests a structured support system likely accessible via dedicated pages. Nintendo's market position as a technology and retail leader in gaming is reinforced by the website's professional design and content quality.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with HTTPS enforced and a suite of security headers including Content Security Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options. Cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, no explicit incident response or security policy pages were found, which could be improved to enhance transparency and readiness. The absence of a security.txt or vulnerability disclosure page is a minor gap. Overall, the site aligns well with best practices for enterprise web security, minimizing risk exposure.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance visibility of contact information for security and privacy inquiries to support compliance and incident handling.
  5. Maintain continuous monitoring of WHOIS data and domain registration to detect any anomalies or changes.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, delivered via a CDN for performance optimization. Asynchronous script loading and cookie consent frameworks are employed to enhance user experience and regulatory compliance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO best practices are evident through proper meta tags and structured data usage. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting details are not disclosed but likely involve enterprise-grade infrastructure. Performance is fast with minimal blocking resources. Technical risks are low, but continuous updates and audits are recommended to maintain security and performance.
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.
