Risk levelMedium

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

The website shtaoke.com operates as a Chinese language platform focused on lottery and gambling software downloads, targeting users interested in lottery applications for Android and Apple devices. It provides categorized software listings, recommendations, and download links, positioning itself as a niche software distribution site within the gambling sector. The business model appears to be centered on software promotion and download facilitation, with no clear evidence of direct lottery operations or payment processing. The domain is well-aged, created in 2016, which aligns with the site's content and business maturity. Technically, the site is built on the ThinkPHP framework with jQuery and uses Matomo for analytics. It employs Cloudflare DNS but does not enable DNSSEC. The site is moderately optimized for mobile and performance but lacks advanced SEO and accessibility features. Security practices are minimal, with no security headers detected and no cookie or privacy consent mechanisms implemented. The site uses HTTPS but lacks comprehensive security configurations. From a security perspective, the absence of privacy policies, cookie consent, and contact information for incident response reduces trustworthiness and compliance with regulations such as GDPR. The site links extensively to external domains, including many acceleration and VPN services, and some suspicious adult-related domains in the footer, which may pose reputational risks. No WAF or blocking mechanisms were detected, and the site content is fully accessible. Overall, the website presents moderate business credibility but has significant gaps in privacy compliance and security posture. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy policies, and transparency would enhance trust and regulatory compliance. The content is mature due to its gambling focus but does not contain explicit adult content.

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

8 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 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

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

shtaoke.com operates in the lottery and gambling software niche, providing download services for various lottery-related mobile applications. The platform targets Chinese-speaking users interested in lottery gaming and related software. Its business model relies on software promotion and user acquisition through categorized listings and recommendations. The site’s market position appears to be that of a small to medium-sized niche player without clear parent or subsidiary affiliations. The extensive external linking to acceleration and VPN services suggests partnerships or affiliate relationships, although no direct payment or transaction processing domains were identified. Growth indicators are limited due to lack of business transparency and contact information. The site’s longevity since 2016 indicates operational stability but limited digital maturity.

Security posture

The website’s security maturity is low to moderate. HTTPS is enabled, which is a baseline security requirement. However, the absence of standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options exposes the site to common web vulnerabilities. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating non-compliance with GDPR and similar regulations. The lack of contact information for security incidents or abuse reporting further reduces security readiness. The use of older jQuery versions may introduce vulnerabilities if not patched. No evidence of vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data was found in the HTML content. Overall, the site requires significant improvements in security best practices and compliance to reduce risk.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  2. Add standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Publish clear contact information including security incident response and abuse reporting channels.
  4. Update and audit all third-party libraries and scripts to ensure no known vulnerabilities are present.
  5. Enable DNSSEC and improve SSL/TLS configuration to strengthen domain and transport security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the ThinkPHP framework with jQuery 1.11.1 and uses Unslider for UI components. It integrates Matomo analytics for user tracking. The site is hosted behind Cloudflare DNS but does not enable DNSSEC, which is a missed opportunity for DNS security. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and SEO meta tags present but limited advanced SEO or accessibility features. The site uses asynchronous loading for some scripts and has a responsive viewport meta tag. The HTML structure is valid but lacks ARIA or accessibility enhancements. The footer contains numerous external links, some of which are suspicious or unrelated to the core business, potentially impacting reputation and SEO. Overall, the technical infrastructure is functional but dated and could benefit from modernization and security hardening.
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.
