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

ProMods.net is a well-established community-driven platform dedicated to providing high-quality map mods and add-ons for popular truck simulation games such as Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. The website serves a large and active user base with extensive forums, download options, and community engagement features. The business model relies on community support through donations and merchandise sales, positioning ProMods as a leading mod provider in the transportation gaming niche. Technically, the site is built on the phpBB forum platform with a custom Milk v2 theme, leveraging modern web technologies including jQuery and Font Awesome, and is hosted behind Cloudflare for performance and security. While the site enforces HTTPS and uses reputable hosting, it lacks some standard security headers and cookie consent mechanisms, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the site demonstrates good content quality, user experience, and business credibility, with moderate technical implementation and security posture.

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 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 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

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

ProMods holds a strong market position as a leading mod provider for truck simulation games, supported by a large, engaged community. Its competitive advantage lies in the breadth and quality of its map expansions and add-ons, as well as active community forums that foster user interaction and support. Revenue streams include donations and a merchandise store, supplemented by affiliate partnerships such as with mozaracing.com. The target audience is primarily gaming enthusiasts interested in enhancing their simulation experience. The project has been active since 2013, indicating maturity and stability. Partnerships with payment processors like PayPal and affiliate marketing enhance its operational ecosystem. Strategic observations suggest continued focus on community engagement and technical modernization could further strengthen its market presence.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain registration protections in place. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism also indicates partial GDPR compliance gaps. While no critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected, implementing standard security headers and privacy compliance features would significantly enhance the security posture and user trust. Incident response readiness appears limited due to missing contact channels for security issues.

Recommendations

  1. Implement standard HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to strengthen security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and privacy compliance mechanisms to meet GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerable components are used.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO features to improve user experience and discoverability.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the phpBB forum platform with a custom Milk v2 theme, utilizing jQuery, Font Awesome, and Google Fonts. Hosting is provided via Cloudflare, which offers CDN and security benefits. Performance is moderate with some optimization for mobile devices. The site uses Google Analytics and Adsense for tracking and monetization. While the technical stack is stable and widely supported, there is room for modernization, particularly in implementing advanced security headers and improving privacy compliance. The site structure and navigation are clear, supporting a good user experience. Technical risks include potential privacy compliance issues and missing security headers that could be exploited if not addressed.
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.
