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

Fundacja Klaster Life Science Kraków operates as a key national cluster organization in Poland, focusing on fostering innovation and collaboration between scientific, cultural, and economic resources in the life sciences sector. The website presents a professional and well-structured digital presence, targeting life science companies, research institutions, and healthcare stakeholders. It offers services such as innovation acceleration, project management, and networking events, positioning itself as a central hub for life sciences innovation in the Kraków and Małopolska region. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins for SEO, analytics, and cookie consent, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS, cookie consent mechanisms, and no evident vulnerabilities, although some security headers could be improved.

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. 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google APIs, Google Ads

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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

The cluster leverages a business model centered on facilitating cooperation between academia, industry, and government entities in the life sciences field. Its market position is strong within Poland as a national key cluster, supported by a network of partners and projects. Revenue streams likely include grants, membership fees, and project funding. The target customer segments include biotech companies, healthcare providers, research centers, and innovation-driven enterprises. The presence of multiple projects and collaboration platforms indicates a dynamic growth and partnership ecosystem. Strategic observations highlight the cluster's role in regional innovation and its integration with European initiatives.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and cookie consent is actively managed via CookieYes, indicating compliance with privacy regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of some recommended HTTP security headers (e.g., Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options) suggests room for improvement. There is no visible security policy or incident response contact information, which could be a compliance gap. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but would benefit from enhanced header configurations and documented security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and compliance.
  4. Regularly audit and update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to minimize vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is powered by WordPress 6.8.2, utilizing popular plugins including Yoast SEO for search optimization, MasterSlider for interactive content, and CookieYes for consent management. The tech stack includes jQuery and Google Site Kit for analytics integration. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema. Hosting provider details are not explicit. The site uses external resources from trusted domains such as Google Fonts and LinkedIn. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced by updating security headers and ensuring all plugins are current.
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.
