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

Total Affiliates is an affiliate marketing platform specializing in online gambling, promoting eight mobile-friendly casinos with multiple game providers. The website targets affiliates and marketers in the online casino space, offering services such as detailed reporting, multi-language and currency support, and timely payments. The business model is focused on affiliate commissions and traffic management for casino brands. Technically, the site is built on Joomla CMS with Bootstrap framework, providing a mobile-optimized but basic user experience. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS and CSRF tokens present, but lacks explicit security headers and privacy policies, which are critical for compliance and trust. WHOIS data is unavailable, raising concerns about domain legitimacy and transparency. Overall, the site functions adequately but requires improvements in privacy compliance, security best practices, and business transparency to enhance trust and reduce risk.

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. 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 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 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

    • 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

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

The company operates in the niche affiliate marketing sector for online casinos, leveraging partnerships with multiple casino brands. Its competitive advantage lies in its multi-casino offering and mobile-friendly approach. Revenue streams are primarily affiliate commissions from referred players. The target customers are online casino affiliates and marketers seeking reliable affiliate programs. The partnership ecosystem includes several casino domains linked on the site. Growth indicators are limited due to lack of public business data. Strategic observations suggest the need for enhanced transparency and compliance to build credibility in a highly regulated industry.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and CSRF protection tokens embedded in scripts. However, the absence of critical security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options weakens its defense against common web attacks. No published privacy or cookie policies indicate compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Lack of contact information for security incidents or data protection officers further reduces incident response readiness. No evidence of vulnerability disclosure or security certifications was found. The overall security culture appears minimal, necessitating urgent improvements to meet industry standards and protect user data.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Add and enforce security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Publish clear contact information for security incidents and designate a Data Protection Officer.
  4. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate risks.
  5. Enhance website accessibility and SEO metadata to improve user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Joomla CMS combined with Bootstrap 5.3.2 framework, indicating a moderately modern technology stack. The site is mobile optimized and uses CSS/JS optimization techniques. However, no advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected, suggesting minimal data collection. Performance is moderate with no explicit indicators of slow loading. The lack of security headers and privacy mechanisms points to technical debt in security and compliance areas. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack with enhanced security configurations, improved accessibility features, and integration of analytics for better business 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.
