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

Ternox Games is a small indie game developer and publisher specializing in creating and porting games primarily for PC and multiple console platforms including Steam, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation. The company offers a portfolio of retro-inspired and niche games, targeting gamers interested in indie and classic gaming experiences. Their business model includes both game development and publishing services, with a focus on GameMaker Studio titles. The website reflects a consistent brand and professional presentation with active social media engagement and multiple platform availability. Technically, the website is built using modern web technologies such as React and Gatsby, hosted on a provider using Nsone DNS services. The site is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices, with good SEO metadata and basic accessibility features. However, there is room for improvement in security headers and cookie consent mechanisms. The site uses HTTPS but lacks DNSSEC and other advanced domain security features. From a security perspective, the site shows a basic but acceptable posture with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. The absence of security headers and cookie consent mechanisms are notable gaps. No incident response or security policy pages are present, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found. The WHOIS data is transparent and consistent with the business profile, showing a domain age appropriate for the company's history. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional with a good business credibility score. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and incident response readiness would enhance the security posture and user trust. The site is safe for general audiences with no adult or explicit content detected.

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

10 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 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

    • 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

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

Ternox Games operates in the indie game development and publishing sector, focusing on niche retro and simulation games. Their competitive advantage lies in multi-platform publishing and porting capabilities, especially for GameMaker Studio games. Revenue streams likely include game sales on Steam and console stores, as well as publishing fees. The target customer segment is indie game enthusiasts and retro gamers. Growth indicators include multiple active game titles and ongoing development projects. The company maintains a diverse partnership ecosystem through platform stores and social media channels. Strategic observations suggest a focused, small-scale operation with potential for expansion through enhanced marketing and security practices.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is basic to moderate. The website uses HTTPS but lacks DNSSEC and important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Compliance gaps include missing cookie consent mechanisms and absence of security or incident response policies. Data protection practices are minimal with no visible data retention or privacy compliance details. Incident response readiness is not demonstrated on the site. The security culture appears informal, typical for small indie developers, but could benefit from formalized policies and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security.
  2. Implement and display a cookie policy with a user consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Create and publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Gatsby framework, ensuring a responsive and SEO-friendly experience. Hosting is via Nsone DNS services, which is reliable but lacks DNSSEC. Performance is moderate with preloading of scripts and assets. The site is mobile optimized with good navigation clarity and consistent branding. No CMS is detected, indicating a static or custom-built site. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of advanced domain security features. There is no evidence of analytics or tracking services, which reduces privacy concerns but limits marketing insights.
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.
