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

PLAION is a prominent independent developer and producer in the gaming and entertainment industry, operating multiple development studios and publishing units globally. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Germany, PLAION offers game development and publishing services under well-known subsidiaries such as Koch Media, Deep Silver, Prime Matter, and Ravenscourt. The company targets gamers and entertainment consumers worldwide, positioning itself as a leading player in the media sector. Technically, the PLAION website is built using modern web technologies including Angular and Material Design components, with a focus on responsive design and user experience. The site employs Cookiebot for cookie consent management, indicating a commitment to privacy compliance. Hosting and domain registration are managed through reputable providers, with domain registration details consistent with the company's profile. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and implements clientTransferProhibited status on the domain, enhancing trustworthiness. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly available, and DNSSEC is not enabled, representing areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected during analysis. Overall, PLAION demonstrates a strong business and technical foundation with good privacy compliance and a professional web presence. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing security policies, and enhancing security headers to further strengthen the security posture and trustworthiness of the online presence.

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. 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. 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
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • 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

PLAION operates as a large media sector entity with a clear focus on game development and publishing. Its subsidiaries are well-known brands in the gaming industry, providing competitive advantages and a diversified portfolio. The business model revolves around content creation and distribution, targeting global gaming audiences. The company shows growth potential with multiple studios and publishing units. Partnerships and subsidiaries indicate a robust ecosystem supporting its market position. The website content and structure reflect a professional and consistent brand image, supporting business credibility and customer engagement.

Security posture

The security maturity of PLAION's website is moderate to good. HTTPS is enforced, and domain transfer restrictions are in place, which are positive indicators. The absence of DNSSEC and explicit security policies suggests room for enhancement. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which could impact responsiveness to security events. The use of Cookiebot for consent management aligns with GDPR compliance. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found, indicating a secure baseline. To improve, PLAION should consider publishing detailed security policies, enabling DNSSEC, and implementing additional security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages Angular framework and Material Design components, indicating a modern and maintainable front-end architecture. Cookiebot integration ensures compliance with cookie consent regulations. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design elements. Performance is moderate, with potential for optimization in loading times and accessibility features. Hosting details are limited but domain registration is through a reputable registrar. No CMS detected, suggesting a custom or framework-based site. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced further by adopting DNSSEC and enhancing security headers.
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.
