Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.
  • GDPR outside view: 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

The business operates in the media sector with a focus on automotive content. It benefits from the backing of a large parent company, Ringier Axel Springer Polska, which enhances its market credibility. Revenue streams likely include advertising and subscription services. The site integrates with partner domains such as Onet.pl for advertising and user account services. The target audience includes general automotive consumers and enthusiasts in Poland. The presence of a Superbrands award and structured data enhances trust. The business model is primarily content-driven with monetization through ads and premium content. The company shows strong digital maturity with integrated marketing and analytics tools.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and standard security headers, indicating a good security baseline. It uses a consent management platform to comply with GDPR cookie regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure programs or security.txt files. The site should consider publishing explicit security and incident response information to improve trust and readiness. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced with better transparency and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance form security with anti-CSRF tokens and input validation.
  5. Provide clear data retention policies and improve user privacy transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-based tech stack with integration of multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Gemius, Salesmanago, and PushPushGo. It employs a custom Onet framework (dlApi) for ad management and content delivery. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility and SEO optimization. Performance is moderate, likely due to multiple third-party scripts and advertising content. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but likely use CDN services for static assets. The technical implementation supports a professional media portal with opportunities to optimize performance and security further.
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.
