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

Warhorse Studios s.r.o. is a Czech-based game development company founded in 2011, specializing in creating meaningful video games. The website presents a professional but basic digital presence with clear branding and navigation primarily targeting gamers and industry professionals. The company maintains an active social media presence and offers career opportunities, indicating a medium-sized business with a focus on technology and gaming. Technically, the site uses OctoberCMS, jQuery 1.11.0, and Google Tag Manager for analytics, but the use of an outdated jQuery version poses security risks. The website is accessible with HTTPS enabled but lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, security headers, and structured data, which limits compliance and SEO effectiveness. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in updating libraries and implementing security best practices.

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.

Priority findings

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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';…

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

Warhorse Studios holds a solid position in the gaming industry as an established Czech developer with international reach. Their business model centers on game development and publishing, supported by career recruitment efforts. The company leverages social media channels for marketing and community engagement. The absence of detailed business contact information on the main site suggests a controlled communication approach, likely centralized through the contact page. The domain age and registration data align well with the company's history, supporting legitimacy. However, the lack of visible certifications or compliance documentation may affect trust with certain partners or customers.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Google Tag Manager for analytics, which are positive security indicators. However, the absence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and the use of an outdated jQuery version introduce vulnerabilities that could be exploited. No privacy or cookie policies are present, indicating potential GDPR compliance gaps. There is no evidence of an incident response policy or vulnerability disclosure mechanism. The security score is moderate, reflecting these strengths and weaknesses. Enhancing security headers, updating libraries, and publishing privacy documentation would significantly improve the security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Update jQuery and other JavaScript libraries to current secure versions to mitigate known vulnerabilities.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  4. Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility and SEO by adding structured data, Open Graph tags, and improving meta descriptions.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on OctoberCMS with a frontend using jQuery 1.11.0 and Slick Carousel for sliders. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are integrated for user tracking. The site loads external scripts from trusted domains and uses HTTPS, indicating a secure transport layer. Performance is moderate, with basic mobile optimization and accessibility features. The absence of modern frontend frameworks and outdated libraries suggests some technical debt. There is an opportunity to modernize the tech stack, improve SEO metadata, and enhance user experience through better accessibility and responsive design.
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.
