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

9 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

  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 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

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 project operates in the education and non-profit sectors, leveraging sports culture to foster reading habits among children and youth in Poland. Funded by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, it benefits from strong institutional backing and partnerships with prominent football entities. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on cultural promotion and community engagement. The target audience includes young football enthusiasts and their coaches. The website serves as an informational and resource hub, offering downloadable materials and event information. The strategic use of football as a motivational tool positions the project uniquely in the cultural education market. Growth potential lies in expanding partnerships and increasing outreach through digital and live events.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the absence of DNSSEC and lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options represent areas for enhancement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided content. Cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting privacy compliance. The site does not appear to have a published security policy or incident response contacts, which could be improved to strengthen security governance. Overall, the security posture is moderate, suitable for the site's informational nature but with room for best practice adoption.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard security headers (Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies for vulnerabilities and update them accordingly.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and SEO optimization to improve user experience and search visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using React with modern JavaScript modules and CSS, served via GetResponse CDN, which supports good performance and scalability. Fonts are loaded from Bunny.net and Google Fonts, ensuring typography quality. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design elements. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary site builder. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in SEO metadata and accessibility. The domain is registered with Tucows Domains Inc., a reputable registrar, but DNSSEC is not enabled. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small educational project but could benefit from security and SEO enhancements.
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.
