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

World of Trucks is an online community platform operated by SCS Software that complements their popular truck simulation games, Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. The website serves as a hub for players to engage in community events, share content such as screenshots and videos, and stay updated with news and DLC releases. The platform targets simulation gaming enthusiasts and supports community-driven activities enhancing player engagement. Technically, the website is well-structured with modern web technologies, uses HTTPS exclusively, and integrates Google Analytics with privacy considerations such as IP anonymization. Media assets are hosted on Amazon S3, ensuring reliable content delivery. Security posture is solid with session protection and cookie consent mechanisms, though some security headers and explicit incident response policies are not publicly documented. The absence of WHOIS data is notable but does not detract from the site's legitimacy given the professional presentation and strong brand association with SCS Software. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital presence with good privacy compliance and user experience.

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. 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 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 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

SCS Software holds a strong niche position in the truck simulation gaming market, leveraging World of Trucks as a community engagement platform that supports their core game products. The business model focuses on enhancing player retention and satisfaction through events, content sharing, and integration with DLC sales via Steam. The company maintains a consistent brand image and active social media presence, which supports marketing and community growth. The partnership with Steam for DLC distribution is a key revenue stream. The platform's design and content quality reflect a medium-sized enterprise with a focus on quality and user engagement. The lack of direct contact information on the site suggests a preference for indirect communication channels such as forums and social media.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses secure cookies with CSRF protection, indicating a good baseline security posture. Cookie consent and privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, reflecting attention to privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of published security or incident response policies represent areas for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The use of third-party analytics and embedded content is managed with user consent. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security disclosures and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance contact information availability for business and security inquiries to improve user trust and support.
  5. Regularly review third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, supported by external hosting of media assets on Amazon S3. Google Analytics is integrated with IP anonymization to balance analytics needs and privacy. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility features such as skip links and ARIA roles. Performance is fast with efficient content delivery. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. The site structure supports SEO best practices with appropriate meta tags and descriptive content. Technical risks are minimal, but the absence of some security headers and formal security documentation could pose future risks if not addressed.
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.
