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

Wizards of the Coast is a globally recognized enterprise specializing in the development and publishing of role playing, trading card, and digital games. The company operates a family of studios targeting a broad audience of gamers across multiple genres. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand presence, leveraging modern web technologies such as Nuxt.js for server-side rendering and Google Analytics for user insights. The site is well-optimized for mobile and SEO, providing a good user experience. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enforced and consent management scripts in place, though there is room for improvement in security headers and transparency regarding security policies. WHOIS data for the subdomain is unavailable, which is typical for subdomains, and does not detract from the overall legitimacy of the brand. Overall, the website is a solid digital asset supporting a major player in the gaming industry.

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 sector, particularly in role playing and trading card games, with flagship products like Magic: The Gathering and Dungeons & Dragons. Their business model centers on game development, publishing, and digital engagement. The website targets gamers and enthusiasts, providing brand information and digital content. The presence of official social media links and structured data enhances credibility. The parent company is Hasbro, indicating enterprise-level backing. The site lacks explicit contact details and compliance documentation, which could be areas for enhancement to support customer engagement and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates consent management tools, indicating awareness of privacy and security best practices. However, the absence of visible security headers and lack of published security or incident response policies suggest moderate maturity. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The site would benefit from publishing a security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms to improve transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be strengthened to align with enterprise standards and compliance requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify comprehensive security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Publish clear privacy, cookie, and security policies accessible from the website footer or main navigation.
  3. Add a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide explicit contact information for security incidents and data protection inquiries.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure compliance with privacy regulations and minimize user tracking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Nuxt.js, a modern Vue.js framework supporting server-side rendering, which enhances SEO and performance. It uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking, alongside Ketch for consent management. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility basics but lacks advanced accessibility features. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and resource optimization. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or headless architecture. Hosting details are not explicit but likely enterprise-grade given the brand. Technical debt appears low, though security enhancements and compliance documentation are recommended.
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.
