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

Online-Casinos.com is a website dedicated to providing expert reviews and comprehensive guides related to online casinos, serving a global audience interested in gambling since 2015. The site operates primarily as an affiliate or comparison platform, helping users choose suitable gambling products. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with the Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. The website is accessible, mobile-optimized, and employs social sharing tools from ShareThis. Security posture is basic with HTTPS enabled but lacks visible advanced security headers or policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the domain registration status is unclear due to missing WHOIS data, which impacts trust and legitimacy assessments.

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

3 findings 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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 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';…

  3. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

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

The business targets online casino players worldwide, leveraging affiliate marketing and content-driven strategies. It has established a consistent brand presence with professional design and SEO optimization. The business model relies on providing detailed reviews and guides to attract traffic and monetize through partnerships with gambling operators. The absence of clear contact information and privacy policies suggests room for improvement in transparency and compliance. The website's market position appears stable but could benefit from enhanced trust signals and regulatory compliance disclosures.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled, ensuring encrypted communication. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and others reduces protection against common web attacks. No incident response or security policies are visible, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The absence of WHOIS data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and potential risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate but requires improvements to meet best practices and compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add and configure essential security headers to protect against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish clear contact information including business address, phone, and email for transparency.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration to ensure legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Establish an incident response plan and publish vulnerability disclosure guidelines.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a standard content management approach. The tech stack includes JavaScript and CSS with external scripts from ShareThis for social sharing. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. The site lacks advanced technical security configurations and does not expose sensitive data. There is no evidence of hosting provider details or CDN usage in the provided data. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist in security and privacy implementations.
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.
