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

Lodz.Travel is the official tourism portal for the city of Łódź, Poland, managed by the Łódzka Organizacja Turystyczna. The website serves as a comprehensive information hub for tourists, offering details on attractions, accommodations, dining, events, and cultural activities. It targets families, event organizers, and cultural visitors, positioning itself as a key regional tourism platform with government backing and strong social media presence. Technically, the site is built on TYPO3 CMS and leverages a modern JavaScript ecosystem including jQuery, Slick Carousel, and various UI libraries. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Google Tag Manager, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data. However, it lacks explicit security headers and does not publish privacy or incident response policies, which are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is typical for organizational domains, and no suspicious patterns were detected. Overall, Lodz.Travel presents a professional, trustworthy, and content-rich platform for promoting tourism in Łódź. Strategic enhancements in privacy transparency and security hardening would further strengthen its posture.

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

7 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

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

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 portal operates as an important regional tourism information and promotion platform, supported by the Łódzka Organizacja Turystyczna and government funding. Its market position is strong as the official source for Łódź tourism, with a clear focus on cultural, family, and event tourism segments. The business model centers on providing free, authoritative content to attract visitors and support local tourism stakeholders. The presence of multi-language support and downloadable guides indicates a strategy to appeal to international tourists. Partnerships with city government domains and tourism brands enhance credibility and reach. The site’s content and marketing tools suggest ongoing investment in digital engagement and visitor analytics.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good baseline security posture with enforced HTTPS and no visible exposure of sensitive information. The use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing scripts is well managed, though the absence of key security headers like Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options is a gap. There is no visible privacy policy or incident response information, which limits transparency and compliance assurance. No vulnerabilities or suspicious activities were detected in the content or scripts. The WHOIS privacy protection is justified and does not raise concerns. Overall, the security maturity is moderate to good but could be improved with formalized policies and enhanced HTTP headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing GDPR compliance and data handling practices.
  2. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden HTTP responses.
  3. Add an incident response and vulnerability disclosure policy to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider enabling DNSSEC for the domain to enhance DNS security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on TYPO3 CMS, a robust and scalable content management system suitable for enterprise and government sites. It uses a variety of modern JavaScript libraries and UI frameworks to provide a responsive and accessible user experience. The site includes multi-language support and SEO best practices such as canonical and hreflang tags. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in loading times and script management. Accessibility features like font size adjustment and high contrast mode are implemented, enhancing usability. The technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and performance tuning.
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.
