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 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 Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

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 maintains a strong market position as a leading technology company in gaming, targeting global consumers and gamers through localized websites and services. The business model focuses on product sales and digital content distribution. The website reflects a mature digital presence with clear navigation and multilingual support, indicating strategic investment in global market reach. The absence of direct contact or security policy information on this page suggests these are hosted elsewhere within the corporate domain. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly visible here, but linked domains include regional Nintendo sites. The company’s branding consistency and trust signals reinforce its authoritative market presence.

Security posture

The website shows a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage implied but lacks explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS. No forms or data collection points reduce attack surface on this page. The absence of visible incident response contacts or security policies limits transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy, but cookie consent and terms of service pages are missing or not linked here. Overall, the security posture is adequate for an informational page but could be improved with enhanced headers and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  2. Add a cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  3. Publish and link a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to enhance trust and compliance.
  4. Improve accessibility features to meet higher standards and broaden user inclusivity.
  5. Add a terms of service page or link to clarify user agreements and legal protections.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a clean and modern technical stack with HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Google Fonts for multilingual support. The site is well-structured with clear navigation and responsive design elements. No CMS or hosting provider details are evident from the HTML. Performance is moderate with preloading of fonts and preconnect hints to Google Fonts domains. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking on this page. The lack of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms represents technical debt in security and privacy compliance. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security and privacy features.
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.
