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

6 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

    • 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

  2. 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

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

Play operates primarily in the telecommunications sector, targeting both individual and business customers in Poland. Its business model combines service subscriptions (postpaid and prepaid) with device sales, including smartphones, tablets, and related accessories. The company leverages a strong brand presence and partnerships with major device manufacturers like Samsung, Apple, and Xiaomi. Play's growth is supported by its extensive 4G LTE and emerging 5G network coverage, as well as value-added services such as internet TV and streaming partnerships. The website's integration with multiple social media platforms and marketing tools indicates a sophisticated customer engagement strategy. Play's parent company, Grupa Play, provides additional corporate backing and resources. The company emphasizes customer convenience through apps like Play24 and offers flexible contract options, positioning itself competitively in the Polish market.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with TLS 1.3 and 1.2 protocols, ensuring encrypted communications. No critical SSL vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed, FREAK, or Logjam were detected. SPF records are properly configured to prevent email spoofing. However, the absence of HSTS and OCSP stapling reduces the overall security robustness. Security headers are not explicitly present, which could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. The site uses secure forms with marketing consent checkboxes, aligning with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or credentials were found in the HTML content. The security posture is good but could be improved by implementing additional HTTP security headers and enhancing certificate transparency compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS and prevent downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement OCSP stapling to improve SSL certificate revocation checking and reduce latency.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  4. Optimize website performance to reduce load times and improve user experience, especially on mobile devices.
  5. Maintain and regularly update privacy and cookie consent mechanisms to ensure ongoing GDPR compliance and user trust.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using Vue.js framework and leverages modern JavaScript libraries and asynchronous loading for analytics and chat services. It integrates Google Tag Manager, LiveChat, and OneTrust for cookie consent management. The DNS setup includes multiple A records and MX records pointing to messagelabs.com for email filtering. SSL certificates cover multiple subdomains and support TLS 1.3 and 1.2 protocols. The site has a large page size (~1.2MB) and a slow load time (~13.6 seconds), indicating potential for optimization. Accessibility and SEO practices are good, with proper meta tags and responsive design. Hosting appears to be managed via project4.pl and atman.pl DNS providers. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from performance tuning and enhanced security header implementation.
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.
