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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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

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

Start Play operates in the hospitality and entertainment sectors, focusing on live interactive games that appeal to families, friends, and corporate groups seeking unique experiences. Their business model revolves around service delivery at physical locations and possibly online bookings via their WooCommerce-enabled website. The company leverages partnerships with local tourism and cultural organizations, enhancing its market reach and credibility. Revenue streams likely include ticket sales, group bookings, and merchandise. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and integration of customer review systems like TripAdvisor. Strategic observations suggest opportunities for expansion into additional cities or digital game offerings. The company maintains a consistent brand image and trust signals, positioning it well within its niche market.

Security posture

The website exhibits a good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web attack vectors. The use of GDPR-compliant plugins and cookie consent mechanisms indicates awareness of privacy regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy page and incident response contacts suggests gaps in formal security governance and readiness. There is no evidence of a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file, which could enhance transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business scale but could benefit from formalizing policies and improving incident response capabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy page outlining security practices and commitments.
  2. Establish and publicize an incident response contact channel to improve readiness and transparency.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with best practices and broaden user inclusivity.
  5. Consider implementing a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to foster trust and responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using the Themify Ultra theme and WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality. It incorporates modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and integrates SEO tools like Yoast SEO and analytics via Google Analytics. The site loads with moderate performance and is optimized for mobile devices, providing a good user experience. Technical debt appears low with up-to-date plugins and structured data implemented via JSON-LD for SEO enhancement. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed but the site uses HTTPS and security headers indicating a professionally managed environment. Opportunities exist to improve accessibility and further optimize performance metrics.
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.
