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

NOVOMATIC AG is a leading global gaming technology company headquartered in Austria, founded in 1980. It operates as a full-service provider in the gaming industry, offering a broad portfolio including gaming cabinets, games, platforms, and additional products. The company has a strong market position as one of the largest gaming technology corporations worldwide and the clear market leader in Europe. The website reflects a professional corporate presence targeting industry partners, casino operators, and job seekers, with comprehensive contact information and multilingual support. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10 CMS and leverages modern JavaScript libraries and analytics tools such as Matomo. It is hosted behind Sucuri Cloudproxy WAF, ensuring some level of protection. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support is a critical security gap that significantly lowers the security posture. The site implements security headers and content security policies but must urgently address SSL/TLS configuration to protect user data and maintain trust. Privacy compliance is well addressed with GDPR-compliant privacy and cookie policies, including a consent mechanism. The company demonstrates business credibility through detailed contact information, licensing by the UK Gambling Commission, and consistent WHOIS data. Overall, the site is content-rich, professionally designed, and trustworthy but requires immediate security improvements regarding SSL/TLS. Strategic recommendations include obtaining and properly configuring SSL certificates, enabling modern TLS protocols, enhancing OCSP stapling and session resumption, and maintaining strong security header policies. These steps will improve security, user trust, and compliance with industry standards.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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.

Business context

Business profile

NOVOMATIC AG operates in the technology sector, specifically in gaming technology, with a comprehensive omni-channel business model covering hardware, software, casino operations, and services. The company has a global footprint with subsidiaries and offices in over 50 countries and exports to more than 130 states. Revenue is approximately 3.5 billion euros as of 2024, with over 20,000 employees worldwide. The company targets casino operators, gaming venues, and technology partners, leveraging innovation and R&D as key competitive advantages. Partnerships with companies like Greentube and a strong presence in multiple continents indicate a robust ecosystem. The company also emphasizes corporate responsibility and sustainability, enhancing brand reputation and stakeholder trust.

Security posture

The website shows a moderate security maturity level with proper security headers and content security policies in place. However, the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS/TLS protocols is a critical vulnerability that exposes users to data interception and undermines trust. The site is protected by Sucuri WAF, which provides some defense against attacks, but the missing encryption layer is a significant compliance and security gap. No incident response or security policy pages were found, indicating potential gaps in transparency and readiness. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are well implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. Overall, the security posture is weak due to missing SSL but otherwise follows good practices.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable and configure modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable legacy protocols.
  3. Implement OCSP stapling and session resumption to improve security and performance.
  4. Review and enforce HSTS header configuration to ensure HTTPS enforcement.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and incident response information to enhance transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, indicating a modern and supported content management system. It uses a variety of JavaScript libraries including jQuery, jQuery UI, Flickity, bxSlider, and Matomo analytics for tracking. Hosting is via Sucuri Cloudproxy, providing WAF protection. The site is multilingual with German as primary language and English alternative. Performance data is unavailable, but the site appears content-rich and well-structured with responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic but present. SEO is supported by canonical links, meta descriptions, and hreflang tags. The main technical risk is the absence of SSL/TLS, which is critical for secure communications and user trust.
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.
