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

The website for the European Parliament Liaison Office in Warsaw serves as an official information and communication platform for the European Parliament's activities in Poland. It provides comprehensive content including news, events, educational programs, and contact information, targeting Polish citizens, media, and educational institutions. The site is well-branded, consistent, and professionally maintained, reflecting its role as a government institution. Technically, the website uses modern web technologies including jQuery, Bootstrap, and ATI Analytics for tracking. It is built on the Jahia CMS platform and demonstrates good mobile optimization and accessibility features. However, some security headers are not visibly present in the HTML source, and no cookie consent mechanism was detected, which could be improved for GDPR compliance. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. The WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy protection, which is typical for official EU domains. No signs of malicious activity or suspicious domains were found. Overall, the site maintains a strong security posture but could enhance transparency by publishing security policies and incident response contacts. The overall risk is low given the official nature and consistent branding of the site. Strategic recommendations include implementing security headers, adding cookie consent, and publishing vulnerability disclosure and incident response information to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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 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. 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 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. 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

The European Parliament Liaison Office in Poland operates as a government entity providing information and support related to the European Parliament's activities. It holds a strong market position as the official EU Parliament presence in Poland, with a small but focused team. The business model is informational and educational, targeting citizens, media, and youth. Revenue streams are not applicable as it is a public institution. The website links to partner and subsidiary domains such as regional offices and community platforms. Growth indicators include active event organization and engagement with youth programs. The partnership ecosystem is robust, involving EU institutions and educational bodies. Strategic observations highlight the importance of maintaining transparency and compliance with EU regulations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS usage and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The absence of explicit security headers in the HTML source suggests room for improvement. No vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected. The site lacks visible incident response or security policy information, which is a compliance gap. GDPR compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy, but cookie consent mechanisms are missing. Overall, the security culture appears professional but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized vulnerability disclosure processes.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner or mechanism to comply fully with GDPR requirements.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Introduce a vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking services to minimize privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Jahia CMS platform and uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery 3.6.0 and Bootstrap for responsive design. It employs ATI Analytics for user tracking. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible, with clear navigation and structured content. Performance is moderate, with deferred script loading and optimized images. The technical infrastructure appears stable and professionally managed, though there is an opportunity to enhance security headers and cookie management. The hosting provider is likely the European Parliament's official infrastructure, ensuring reliability and compliance with EU standards.
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.
