58/100

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

Zynga is a leading global interactive entertainment company specializing in mobile and online games with a broad portfolio of popular franchises. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive Software, Zynga has a strong market position with billions of downloads worldwide. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, clear navigation, and comprehensive content targeting mobile and online gamers globally. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with SEO optimizations and uses Amazon CloudFront for hosting and CDN services. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled modern TLS protocols represent significant security gaps. Security headers are partially implemented but require tightening to mitigate risks such as cross-site scripting. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, Zynga's website demonstrates strong business credibility and digital maturity but needs urgent improvements in SSL/TLS security to protect user data and maintain 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

4 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

    • 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

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • 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

Zynga operates in the media sector focusing on social and mobile gaming, leveraging a free-to-play model with in-app purchases and advertising revenue streams. The company targets a global audience of mobile and online gamers, maintaining a consistent brand presence across multiple social platforms. Its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, supports Zynga's market reach and financial stability. The website's integration with various third-party services and domain verifications indicates a robust partnership ecosystem. Zynga's competitive advantage lies in its extensive game portfolio and global user base. The company shows strategic focus on user engagement and monetization through popular game titles and advertising partnerships.

Security posture

The current security posture reveals critical vulnerabilities due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, exposing users to potential data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. While some security headers like HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy are present, their configurations allow unsafe script execution and disable XSS protection, increasing risk exposure. No explicit incident response contacts or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are found, which could hinder timely security incident management. Privacy policies and cookie consent are well implemented, indicating awareness of compliance requirements. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues and enhancement of security header policies are essential to elevate Zynga's security maturity.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across all site pages.
  2. Enable and enforce modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) to secure data in transit.
  3. Harden Content-Security-Policy to disallow unsafe-inline and unsafe-eval scripts.
  4. Enable X-XSS-Protection header with recommended settings to mitigate cross-site scripting.
  5. Establish a public vulnerability disclosure policy and provide incident response contact information.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO plugin, indicating a modern and SEO-friendly platform. Hosting is via Amazon CloudFront CDN, supporting global content delivery. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics are integrated for marketing and analytics purposes. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. However, performance metrics are unavailable, and SSL/TLS configuration is critically lacking, which poses operational risks. The technical stack is solid but requires security upgrades and performance monitoring to ensure reliability and user trust.
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.
