75/100

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

Scientific Games is a leading global technology and services provider specializing in lottery and gaming solutions. With over 50 years of innovation, the company serves lottery customers across six continents, offering a comprehensive portfolio of products including games, partner services, technologies, sports betting, and digital platforms. Their strong market position is supported by a consistent brand presence and a commitment to integrity and responsible gaming. The website infrastructure leverages modern technologies such as ASP.NET, jQuery, and various JavaScript libraries, hosted behind Imperva's CDN for enhanced performance and security. While the site demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, it currently lacks a valid SSL certificate and advanced security headers, which are critical for protecting user data and maintaining trust. From a security perspective, the absence of DNSSEC, CAA records, and a published security policy or incident response plan indicates areas for improvement. The site employs cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR, and integrates Google Analytics for user tracking, balancing data collection with privacy considerations. Overall, Scientific Games exhibits a mature digital presence with strong business insights but requires enhancements in its security posture to mitigate risks and align with best practices in data protection and compliance.

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

No critical or high findings. These medium findings are worth fixing next.

  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.

    • Medium

      DMARC not enforcing

      DMARC policy is set to "none"

      What to do: Gradually move to "quarantine" then "reject" policy

  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.

    • Medium

      HSTS Not Enabled

      HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) is not configured

      What to do: Configure HSTS with: Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload

  3. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • Medium

      DNSSEC Not Enabled

      DNSSEC is not configured for this domain

      What to do: Enable DNSSEC to prevent DNS spoofing attacks

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Scientific Games operates as an essential entity in the technology sector, focusing on providing innovative lottery and gaming solutions globally. Their business model is B2B, targeting lottery operators and gaming industry stakeholders. The company benefits from a robust partnership ecosystem, including customer login portals and partner sites, enhancing service delivery. Their market position as a global leader is reinforced by a diverse product portfolio and a commitment to responsible gaming and community impact. Growth indicators include recent media releases about license renewals and technology rollouts. The company maintains a strong brand with consistent messaging and comprehensive legal and privacy documentation, supporting trust and compliance.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of Scientific Games' website is moderate but with notable gaps. The lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols significantly undermines secure communications. While the site uses HttpOnly cookies and is protected by Imperva's CDN, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and HSTS, which are essential for mitigating common web vulnerabilities. No explicit security policy or incident response information is publicly available, and no security.txt file is found for vulnerability disclosure. GDPR compliance is supported through cookie consent mechanisms and a comprehensive privacy policy. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not evident from the website content, suggesting an opportunity to enhance transparency and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL certificate supporting TLS 1.2 or higher to secure all communications.
  2. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS with preload and includeSubDomains.
  3. Enable DNSSEC and configure CAA records to strengthen domain security and certificate issuance control.
  4. Publish a security.txt file and detailed security policy outlining vulnerability disclosure and incident response procedures.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing contact channels for security incidents and appointing a Data Protection Officer with contact information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a Microsoft IIS 10.0 server using ASP.NET technology, incorporating modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, bxSlider, tiny-slider, Rellax, Isotope, and Hammer.js. Styling is managed with Tailwind CSS and custom stylesheets. The site is served via Imperva CDN, enhancing performance and security. Despite a rich tech stack and good mobile optimization, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent significant technical debt and security risks. Performance metrics indicate fast load times, though no explicit data is provided. The site demonstrates good accessibility and SEO optimization, with clear navigation and professional design. Technical risks include potential exposure due to missing security headers and lack of DNSSEC, which could impact business operations if exploited.
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.
