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

The website wc3stats.com operates as a niche online platform dedicated to parsing and analyzing Warcraft III custom game replays. It provides users with detailed game and player statistics, including APM, ratings, and custom map metadata. The platform targets the Warcraft III gaming community, offering specialized analytics services that position it uniquely within the gaming statistics market. The business appears to be small and focused, founded in 2018, with no evident parent or subsidiary companies. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Vue.js, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager, hosted on infrastructure associated with Amazon Registrar, Inc. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, though accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, and the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL configuration. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and no security headers were detected, indicating room for security enhancements. From a security perspective, the site benefits from domain status locks that prevent unauthorized transfers or deletions, contributing to domain stability. No privacy or cookie policies are present, and no contact or incident response information is provided, which limits compliance with GDPR and general privacy best practices. No forms or data collection mechanisms are visible on the homepage, reducing immediate data exposure risks. The absence of a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file suggests limited formal security communication channels. Overall, the website is functional, professionally designed, and trustworthy within its niche but lacks comprehensive privacy and security documentation. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance, security headers, and user contact transparency would enhance its security posture and user trust.

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

9 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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

wc3stats.com occupies a specialized niche in the gaming analytics sector, focusing exclusively on Warcraft III custom game replay data. Its competitive advantage lies in detailed replay parsing and statistical extraction, serving a dedicated community of gamers and enthusiasts. The business model appears to be service-oriented, potentially supported by community donations via Patreon. The platform's growth is indicated by a growing database of replays and live lobby features. Partnerships are minimal, with Patreon as a notable external link for funding support. The company operates independently without visible subsidiaries or parent entities, emphasizing a focused operational scope.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is properly implemented, and domain registration includes protective status flags. However, the lack of DNSSEC, security headers, and formal privacy or security policies indicates gaps in security best practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. The absence of incident response contacts and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms limits the site's readiness for security incidents. Compliance with GDPR is not evident due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security posture is functional but would benefit from enhancements in policy transparency, technical security controls, and incident preparedness.

Recommendations

  1. Implement DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Deploy security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Publish clear contact information including security incident response channels to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting and improve security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript framework (Vue.js) and integrates Google Analytics and Tag Manager for user tracking and analytics. Hosting and DNS services are provided by Amazon Registrar, Inc., indicating reliable infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized with prefetch and preload resource hints to improve performance. However, accessibility features are basic, and no CMS was detected. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers represents technical debt and potential security risks. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. The technical stack is appropriate for the site's purpose but could be enhanced with additional security and accessibility improvements.
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.
