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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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 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

  • 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

Pollster's business model centers on providing comprehensive market research services supported by proprietary technology and a large research panel, Reaktor Opinii. The company leverages partnerships within the ZPR Media group for data privacy and compliance. Their competitive advantage lies in their technological capabilities, experienced research staff, and high client satisfaction. The company targets medium to large enterprises and institutions in Poland, emphasizing data-driven decision-making. The presence of a dedicated data protection officer and GDPR-compliant consent mechanisms further enhance their credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with good SSL configuration and integrates Google reCAPTCHA to protect contact forms from abuse. A Consent Management Platform is implemented to ensure GDPR compliance. However, no explicit security policy or incident response information is publicly available. Security headers appear to be missing or not explicitly declared, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security posture is solid but could be enhanced by publishing formal security policies and enabling DNSSEC.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content Security Policy, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to improve protection against common web attacks.
  2. Enable DNSSEC to enhance domain name system security and prevent spoofing.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate risks from external libraries.
  5. Enhance data retention disclosures and privacy transparency to align with best GDPR practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Bolt CMS platform, utilizing Bootstrap for responsive design and FontAwesome for icons. It integrates Google Analytics and Hotjar for analytics and user behavior tracking, with a CMP for consent management. The site loads moderately fast and is optimized for mobile devices with good accessibility features. The technical implementation is modern and well-structured, though there is room for improvement in security header implementation and DNS configuration. The contact form uses Google reCAPTCHA for spam protection, indicating attention to security in user input handling.
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.
