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

Powbet is an online sports betting and casino gaming platform launched in 2023, targeting adult users interested in gambling entertainment. The website offers a variety of sports betting options and casino games, positioning itself competitively in the online gambling market. The business model revolves around providing digital betting and gaming services with promotional bonuses to attract users. Technically, the site is built as a modern Angular single-page application, leveraging popular analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Google Optimize. The infrastructure includes Cloudflare DNS and GoDaddy as the domain registrar, indicating a standard hosting and domain setup for such platforms. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS and has domain status protections, but lacks DNSSEC and visible security headers. There is no explicit privacy policy or terms of service found in the analyzed content, which is a compliance gap. No contact or incident response information is publicly available, limiting transparency. Overall, the site is functional and professionally designed but would benefit from enhanced security practices and compliance disclosures.

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.

Priority findings

6 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 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Cloudflare, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  3. 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

Powbet operates in the online gambling sector, focusing on sports betting and casino games. The company targets adult gamblers seeking a variety of betting options and live casino experiences. The business model likely generates revenue through betting margins and casino game commissions. The platform uses promotional bonuses to attract and retain customers. The market positioning is that of a new entrant with a modern digital presence, leveraging third-party marketing and analytics tools to optimize user engagement. The lack of explicit contact and compliance information may impact user trust and regulatory standing. No parent or subsidiary companies are identified, suggesting an independent operation. The use of reputable domain registration and DNS services supports operational legitimacy.

Security posture

The security posture of Powbet is moderate. The website uses HTTPS, which is mandatory for secure communications. Domain status flags prevent unauthorized domain transfers or deletions, enhancing domain security. However, the absence of DNSSEC leaves the domain vulnerable to DNS spoofing attacks. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. The site uses multiple third-party scripts for analytics and advertising, which could introduce privacy and security risks if not properly managed. There is no published security policy or incident response contact, which limits the ability to handle security incidents effectively. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure program further reduces transparency. Overall, while basic security measures are in place, there is room for significant improvement in security best practices and compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages to ensure legal compliance and user trust.
  3. Implement and disclose a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance web security.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure or bug bounty program to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Angular 14.2.7, a modern front-end framework suitable for single-page applications. It integrates Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Optimize, Hotjar, and Adform scripts for analytics, marketing, and advertising purposes. The site uses Cloudflare DNS, which provides performance and security benefits, although DNSSEC is not enabled. The domain is registered with GoDaddy.com, LLC, a reputable registrar. The site appears mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses modern web fonts from Google Fonts. Performance is moderate, with some heavy use of external scripts that may impact load times. Accessibility features are basic, and SEO optimization is good with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. There is no detected CMS, indicating a custom-built solution. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced security configurations.
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.
