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. 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

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  3. 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';…

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 · found on this site
  • 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 institution occupies a strategic position in Poland's creative economy ecosystem, leveraging government funding to provide support programs and research. Its business model is non-commercial, focusing on sector development and promotion. The website's integration with official government portals and social media enhances its credibility and outreach. The presence of multiple program announcements and reports indicates active engagement with stakeholders. The institution's partnerships with government bodies and cultural ministries strengthen its market position. Growth indicators include recent rebranding and program launches. The website's technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from enhanced security practices.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements a cookie consent banner with detailed categories, reflecting awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represents gaps in defense-in-depth. No explicit security policy or incident response contact is published, which limits transparency in handling security incidents. Third-party scripts such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar introduce potential privacy and security risks if not regularly audited. Overall, the security posture is moderate, suitable for a government informational site but with room for improvement to meet higher standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and trustworthiness.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate vulnerabilities and privacy risks.
  5. Conduct periodic security audits and penetration testing to identify and remediate potential weaknesses.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Joomla CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, Awesomplete for autocomplete, and Slick Carousel for UI components. It uses Google Fonts for typography and integrates analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Hotjar for user behavior tracking. The site is mobile responsive with basic accessibility features like contrast and font size adjustments. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts and optimized CSS. SEO is basic but present with meta tags and structured data for blog posts. Technical debt appears low, but security enhancements are recommended. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found.
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.
