Low risk. 1 critical or high finding in SSL/TLS.

Risk levelLow

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

Video Games Europe is an established industry association representing the European video games sector since 1998. The organization focuses on advocacy, supporting the creative and economic potential of the sector, and promoting responsible gaming experiences. The website reflects a professional digital presence built on WordPress with the Divi theme, incorporating modern web technologies and SEO best practices. While the site is well-structured and visually consistent, it lacks visible privacy and terms of service policies, as well as explicit contact information, which are important for trust and compliance. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, but could be improved by adding security headers and vulnerability disclosure information. Overall, the domain WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is typical for such organizations, but limits verification of domain age and registrant details.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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 organization operates as an important entity within the media sector, specifically focusing on the video games industry in Europe. Its business model centers on advocacy and industry support rather than direct commercial activities. The website targets industry stakeholders and players, providing information and promoting the sector's interests. The presence on social media platforms like Twitter and LinkedIn supports engagement with the community. The lack of detailed business contact information and policies suggests room for improvement in transparency. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and a cookie consent mechanism, indicating baseline security and privacy awareness. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options reduces the overall security posture. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present, limiting the ability for external security researchers to report issues. The lack of visible privacy and terms of service policies also indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other regulations. No exposed sensitive data or known vulnerabilities were detected in the provided content.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  2. Implement and configure security headers to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme, leveraging several plugins including Yoast SEO for search optimization, Cookiebot for cookie consent, and various UI enhancement libraries like Slick Carousel and Magnific Popup. The site loads fonts from Google Fonts and uses FontAwesome icons. Performance is moderate with caching enabled via Litespeed Cache. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design elements. Accessibility is basic but could be improved with more ARIA attributes and semantic HTML. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and improved privacy compliance.
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.
