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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 business is positioned as an essential service provider within the finance sector, leveraging its affiliation with METRO AG to offer accounting solutions and career opportunities. It benefits from partnerships with professional bodies like ACCA and industry associations such as ABSL. The business model centers on internal service provision and employee development, with a focus on automation and innovation in finance processes. The target market includes METRO group entities and finance professionals in Poland and Europe. The company demonstrates growth through digital transformation and employee training programs, supported by a modern web presence and social media engagement.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enabled and a comprehensive cookie consent mechanism that aligns with GDPR requirements. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contacts, and a vulnerability disclosure program indicates areas for improvement. The use of third-party analytics and marketing scripts is managed with user consent. Overall, the security practices are sound but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security headers and incident response information.

Recommendations

  1. Publish and enforce explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information on the website to improve transparency and readiness.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and cookies to ensure compliance with privacy and security standards.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for users with disabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Sitecore CMS with SXA components, Bootstrap 4.5 for responsive design, and advanced JavaScript libraries such as PhotoSwipe for image galleries. Analytics and tag management are handled via Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager, supplemented by Siteimprove Analytics for quality assurance. The site demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices, with structured metadata and Open Graph tags for social media integration. Performance is moderate, with potential for improvement through optimization of third-party scripts and image assets. No hosting provider details were explicitly identified from the content.
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.
