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

Unreal Engine, operated by Epic Games, Inc., is a leading technology company specializing in real-time 3D creation tools. Their flagship product, Unreal Engine, serves a broad audience including game developers, designers, and creators across multiple platforms such as PC, console, mobile, VR, and AR. The company holds a strong market position as a premier provider of advanced real-time technology solutions, enabling users to build high-quality games and cinematic experiences. Technically, the website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure leveraging modern frameworks like Next.js and React, with optimized performance and excellent mobile responsiveness. The use of OneTrust for cookie consent and tracking indicates a commitment to privacy compliance. The site is well-structured with comprehensive metadata, SEO optimization, and accessibility considerations. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS, employs multiple security headers, and integrates cookie consent mechanisms. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly available, representing an area for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data is likely due to privacy protection, which is common for large enterprises and does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Overall, Unreal Engine's website reflects a professional, secure, and privacy-conscious digital presence aligned with its industry stature. Strategic recommendations include publishing detailed security and incident response policies and maintaining vigilance on third-party scripts to uphold security standards.

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

5 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 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Epic Games, Inc. operates Unreal Engine as a comprehensive real-time 3D development platform targeting developers and creators in gaming, design visualization, and cinematic production. The business model centers on software licensing and ecosystem growth, supported by a large community and extensive platform support. Market positioning is strong, with Unreal Engine recognized as a top-tier engine in the industry. The company benefits from a robust partnership ecosystem and maintains active social media engagement. Growth indicators include continuous platform enhancements and broad platform compatibility. The company is headquartered in the US and is classified as a large technology enterprise.

Security posture

The website exhibits a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, robust security headers, and privacy compliance via cookie consent. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. However, the absence of a public security policy and incident response contact details suggests gaps in transparency and readiness communication. Compliance with GDPR is indicated through privacy and cookie policies. The security posture is strong but could be enhanced by publishing vulnerability disclosure and incident response information to improve trust and preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing security practices and standards.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance transparency by including data retention policies and detailed privacy compliance statements.

The use of web fonts and CSS is well managed, contributing to a polished user experience. SEO best practices are followed with comprehensive meta tags and structured data.

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.
