No Brakes Games is a Lithuania-based game development studio known primarily for its innovative physics-based games, including the popular Human: Fall Flat series. The company operates a professional website built on WordPress, showcasing its games, studio culture, and career opportunities. The site targets gamers, industry professionals, and potential employees, emphasizing creativity and unique gameplay experiences. The business model centers on game development and publishing, with a medium-sized team and a solid market position in the gaming industry.
Technically, the website employs a modern technology stack including WordPress 6.8.3, Foundation CSS framework, and various JavaScript libraries for UI and interactivity. Hosting is provided by Hostex, with Google Analytics integrated for traffic analysis and Cookiebot managing GDPR-compliant cookie consent. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization.
From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and implements cookie consent mechanisms, reflecting good privacy compliance. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and security headers are not explicitly detected, indicating areas for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. The absence of explicit security policies or incident response contacts suggests a need for enhanced transparency and readiness.
Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and compliant with GDPR requirements. The domain registration data aligns well with the business profile, supporting legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, publishing security policies, and maintaining regular audits of third-party scripts to strengthen security posture and user trust.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
No Brakes Games holds a niche position in the gaming industry, focusing on physics-based gameplay innovation. Their competitive advantage lies in creative freedom and a collaborative culture, as evidenced by team testimonials. Revenue streams likely derive from game sales and related digital content. The target customers include casual and dedicated gamers interested in unique, physics-driven games. Growth indicators include announcements of new titles and active career listings. The company maintains a professional online presence with social media engagement on LinkedIn and Twitter. Partnerships or subsidiaries are not explicitly identified, suggesting a focused operational scope.
Security posture
The current security maturity level is moderate. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, but the absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness. Compliance with GDPR is evident through cookie management and privacy policy availability. The security culture appears basic but positive, with room for formalizing policies and enhancing technical controls.
Recommendations
Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
Implement essential security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
Publish a clear security policy and provide incident response contact information on the website.
Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.
Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes
Notes
The website infrastructure is based on WordPress CMS with a Foundation CSS framework and several JavaScript libraries for UI components and animations. Hosting is managed by Hostex, with domain registration through Tucows Domains Inc. The site uses Google Fonts and Google Analytics for typography and analytics respectively, integrated with Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent. Performance is moderate, with mobile optimization and SEO best practices implemented. Technical risks include lack of DNSSEC and missing security headers, which could be addressed to improve overall security and resilience. The site is well-structured with valid meta tags and structured data enhancing search engine visibility.
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.
