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

The website vermontbids.us is a Chinese-language platform focused on providing downloads and information about lottery and gambling applications for Android and Apple devices. It targets a niche audience interested in lottery gaming apps, offering various app listings and download links. The business appears to be small-scale, with no clear contact or compliance information, and is registered under fastnodes LLC in Bangladesh, which does not align geographically or thematically with the site's content. Technically, the site uses the ThinkPHP framework and includes some outdated libraries like jQuery 1.11.1. It employs Cloudflare DNS but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, indicating a basic security posture. Analytics are performed using Matomo, but no privacy or cookie policies are present, raising privacy compliance concerns. The site links extensively to external domains, some of which are suspicious or adult-themed, which impacts trustworthiness and content safety. Overall, the site is accessible without WAF blocking but exhibits several security, privacy, and credibility weaknesses.

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.

Add-on

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The platform operates as an app download and promotion site for lottery and gambling applications, primarily serving Chinese-speaking users. Its business model likely relies on affiliate or advertising revenue from app downloads. The market position is niche and low trust due to lack of transparency and suspicious external links. The registrant's geographic mismatch and absence of contact details reduce credibility. The site is part of a network of similarly named domains targeting lottery app users. Growth indicators or partnerships are not evident. The business ecosystem appears fragmented and potentially linked to grey-market or adult content services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a low to moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enabled, but no DNSSEC or security headers are implemented. There is no visible privacy or cookie policy, and no incident response or security contact information is provided. The use of outdated JavaScript libraries may expose the site to vulnerabilities. The presence of suspicious external links and lack of compliance measures indicate significant security and privacy gaps. Incident response readiness is not evident, and no certifications or security frameworks are referenced. Overall, the security posture is weak and requires substantial improvement to protect users and data.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC and implement comprehensive security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options).
  2. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies with GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  3. Provide verifiable contact information including security incident response contacts.
  4. Audit and remove suspicious or adult-themed external links to improve trustworthiness.
  5. Update JavaScript libraries and frameworks to current secure versions.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the ThinkPHP framework with a custom CMS. It uses jQuery 1.11.1 and Unslider for UI components, and Matomo for analytics. Hosting appears to be managed by fastnodes LLC with DNS via Cloudflare but without DNSSEC. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization. The site lacks modern accessibility features and SEO optimization is minimal. Technical debt is evident from outdated libraries and missing security best practices. There is opportunity for modernization including improved performance, security hardening, and enhanced user experience.
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.
