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

Invest in Silesia is the official regional government platform dedicated to promoting investment opportunities and economic development in the Silesia region of Poland. The website serves as a comprehensive resource for investors, businesses, and entrepreneurs seeking information on regional economy, investment offers, business support institutions, and export facilitation. It is managed by the Urząd Marszałkowski Województwa Śląskiego (Marshal's Office of the Silesian Voivodeship), reflecting a strong governmental backing and regional development focus. Technically, the website employs a modern and well-structured technology stack including Bootstrap, jQuery, and various JavaScript libraries for UI components, data visualization, and calendar functionalities. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and uses HTTPS with DNSSEC enabled, indicating a secure and trustworthy infrastructure. The use of Matomo analytics reflects a privacy-conscious approach to user tracking. From a security perspective, the site benefits from HTTPS and DNSSEC, but lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear cookie consent mechanisms and a privacy policy aligned with GDPR requirements. Overall, the website presents a professional, trustworthy, and well-maintained digital presence for regional investment promotion. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security posture by adding security headers, publishing a formal security policy, and providing incident response contact 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

10 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

    • 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

  2. 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

  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 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
  • 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 website positions itself as a key regional government entity facilitating investment and economic growth in Silesia, Poland. Its competitive advantage lies in official government endorsement, comprehensive regional data, and support services for SMEs and exporters. The business model is non-commercial, focused on regional development and promotion. Target customers include domestic and international investors, businesses seeking expansion, and economic development partners. The site demonstrates growth indicators through active news, events, and project updates. Its partnership ecosystem includes official government portals and regional business support institutions, enhancing its credibility and reach.

Security posture

The security maturity of the website is moderate to good. HTTPS and DNSSEC provide strong foundational security. The absence of security headers and incident response information represents gaps that could be addressed to improve defense-in-depth and transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected. Privacy compliance is well managed with cookie consent and privacy policy presence. The site does not publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt, which could be beneficial. Overall, the security posture supports the site's trustworthiness but can be enhanced with additional best practices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance user privacy by detailing data retention policies and providing more granular cookie controls.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a robust and modern front-end technology stack centered on Bootstrap and jQuery, supplemented by specialized libraries for data tables, charts, calendars, and maps. The site is responsive and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured navigation. Hosting details are not explicit, but domain DNSSEC and HTTPS indicate a secure hosting environment. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of analytics scripts and lazy loading of images. There is no evidence of a common CMS, suggesting a custom or bespoke platform. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced by adding security headers and formalizing security policies.
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.
