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

Wizards of the Coast operates as a prominent family of studios specializing in role playing, trading card, and digital games, catering to a broad audience of players. The website reflects a mature digital presence with consistent branding and a focus on entertainment content. Technically, the site leverages modern JavaScript frameworks (Nuxt.js) and integrates analytics and consent management tools, indicating a moderate to advanced digital infrastructure. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no visible vulnerabilities, though the absence of explicit security headers and privacy policies suggests room for improvement. Overall, the site is trustworthy and professional, but enhancing transparency around privacy and security policies would strengthen compliance 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

6 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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 company holds a strong market position in the gaming and entertainment sector, particularly in role playing and trading card games. Its business model centers on content creation and distribution across physical and digital platforms. The website targets gamers and enthusiasts globally, supported by a large enterprise scale and association with Hasbro. The digital ecosystem includes social media engagement and analytics for user insights. While no direct contact or privacy disclosures were found, the brand's reputation and structured data presence reinforce credibility. Strategic partnerships and parent company affiliation further solidify its market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a baseline security maturity with HTTPS and integration of consent management scripts. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which could hinder rapid response to security events. Privacy compliance indicators are minimal, with no visible GDPR statements or cookie consent banners. The absence of contact information for security or abuse reporting is a notable gap. Overall, the security posture is adequate but would benefit from enhanced policy transparency and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add standard security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options) to strengthen site security.
  3. Provide clear contact channels for security incidents and abuse reporting.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and ensure mobile optimization to improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The site is built on Nuxt.js, a modern Vue.js SSR framework, indicating a contemporary technical stack. It uses Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and Ketch for consent management, reflecting attention to data governance. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization. However, no CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly detected. The site lacks some advanced accessibility features and security headers, which are technical debt areas. Overall, the infrastructure is solid but could be modernized further with enhanced security and compliance tooling.
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.
