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

Agora S.A. is a major Polish media group operating across multiple sectors including press publishing, radio, internet services, cinema, and outdoor advertising. The company holds a strong market position as one of Poland's largest media conglomerates, offering a diversified portfolio of brands and services. The website reflects this with comprehensive content about its operations, subsidiaries, and investor relations. Technically, the site employs modern tracking and analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Gemius Audience, alongside UI libraries like Owl Carousel and Swiper for enhanced user experience. The site is mobile-optimized and presents a professional design with clear navigation. Security-wise, the website enforces HTTPS and implements a consent management platform for cookies, demonstrating compliance with GDPR. However, it lacks visible security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts, which are areas for improvement. Overall, the domain is longstanding and consistent with the company's profile, indicating legitimacy and trustworthiness.

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

5 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, LinkedIn, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  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.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Agora S.A. leverages a multi-channel media business model encompassing print, digital, radio, cinema, and advertising. Its extensive brand portfolio and diversified revenue streams position it competitively in the Polish media market. The company targets a broad general audience with content ranging from news to entertainment. The presence of an investor relations section and scheduled financial reports indicates transparency and engagement with shareholders. Partnerships with marketing agencies and use of advanced analytics tools reflect a mature digital marketing strategy. The company’s long domain age and consistent branding reinforce its established market presence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security posture with mandatory HTTPS and a robust cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. The absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options suggests potential areas of vulnerability. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, which could hinder rapid response to security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and transparency measures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen domain name system security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a combination of modern JavaScript libraries and tracking technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Gemius Audience, Owl Carousel, and Swiper. The site is mobile responsive and employs a consent management platform for cookie handling. Hosting appears to be managed via home.pl S.A., a known Polish hosting and registrar provider. Performance is moderate with no critical issues detected, though optimization opportunities exist. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or proprietary platform. Accessibility features are basic, and SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a professional and functional media website.
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.
