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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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. 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

Plinko.co.uk occupies a niche within the UK online gambling market, focusing exclusively on the Plinko game. Its business model centers on affiliate marketing, driving traffic to licensed UK casinos offering Plinko through detailed guides, bonus offers, and demo access. The site targets adult UK players seeking both entertainment and strategic insights into Plinko. Its competitive advantage lies in comprehensive content, multi-language support, and mobile app guidance. The presence of social media channels and trusted gambling support badges indicates a growing partnership ecosystem and commitment to responsible gaming. Revenue streams likely include affiliate commissions from casino referrals. The site is relatively new but shows potential for growth through content expansion and enhanced compliance.

Security posture

The website maintains a moderate security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data leaks. The absence of security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces its defense-in-depth capabilities. No forms collecting sensitive user data are present on the main pages, minimizing attack surface. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness. Cookie consent mechanisms are missing despite tracking scripts, which may pose GDPR compliance risks. Overall, the site is secure for informational purposes but should adopt stronger security controls and privacy compliance measures to mitigate potential risks and enhance user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and enhance user privacy transparency.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information to improve trust and readiness.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking technologies to ensure no privacy or security risks are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a straightforward technology stack with HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, supported by Cloudflare for CDN and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Performance is moderate with deferred loading of game iframe content. No CMS or advanced frameworks are detected, indicating a custom or lightweight build. The absence of advanced accessibility features suggests room for improvement. Hosting details are not explicit but likely leverage Cloudflare services. Technical risks are low but could be mitigated by adding security headers and improving privacy compliance.
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.
