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

4 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 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

  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

Riot Games operates primarily in the technology and media sectors, focusing on game development, esports, and digital content creation. Their business model revolves around game publishing, community engagement, and esports event hosting. The company benefits from strong market positioning as a pioneer in competitive gaming and entertainment, supported by its parent company Tencent Holdings. The website content and structure target gamers, esports enthusiasts, and digital entertainment consumers. The presence of comprehensive privacy and security policies indicates a commitment to regulatory compliance and user trust. Partnerships and related domains include Tencent, reinforcing corporate backing and ecosystem integration.

Security posture

The website exhibits a high level of security maturity, with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers implemented to protect against common web vulnerabilities. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The presence of dedicated security and abuse contact emails indicates readiness for incident response. However, the absence of a publicly available security.txt file suggests an area for improvement in vulnerability disclosure transparency. Overall, Riot Games demonstrates strong security practices appropriate for an enterprise in the gaming industry, minimizing risk exposure and enhancing user trust.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a security.txt file to formalize vulnerability disclosure processes.
  2. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate supply chain risks.
  3. Enhance public documentation of incident response procedures to improve transparency.
  4. Continue to monitor and update security headers and SSL configurations to maintain best practices.
  5. Expand user privacy education initiatives to reinforce GDPR and global compliance.

The website leverages a modern tech stack including JavaScript frameworks (likely Lit), CSS3, and HTML5, supported by analytics via Google Tag Manager and consent management through Osano. Performance is optimized with preloading fonts and asynchronous script loading. Mobile optimization and accessibility are rated excellent, with responsive design and semantic markup. The site lacks explicit CMS identification, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed in the HTML. Overall, the technical implementation supports a fast, accessible, and SEO-optimized user experience suitable for a global enterprise.
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.
