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

Play Puls is a Polish media service delivering enhanced terrestrial digital TV viewing experiences via HbbTV technology. It allows users with internet-connected TVs to pause, rewind, and watch programs from Puls and Puls 2 channels live or on demand for free. The website is professionally designed with modern frontend technologies such as Tailwind CSS and Font Awesome, hosted by OVH SAS, and uses Cloudflare Insights for analytics. However, it lacks critical compliance documents such as privacy and cookie policies, and does not provide contact or security incident response information. Security posture is moderate with HTTPS enabled but missing security headers and DNSSEC. Overall, the domain registration is consistent and legitimate, supporting a stable business presence.

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

8 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 Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

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 service targets general Polish TV viewers with internet-connected terrestrial TVs supporting HbbTV. The business model is free-to-view hybrid TV service integrated with terrestrial broadcast channels Puls and Puls 2. The company appears small and focused on media delivery with no visible partnerships or subsidiaries. The website content is consistent and relevant, but lacks transparency in privacy and contact information, which may impact user trust and compliance. The use of modern web technologies and Cloudflare analytics indicates a moderate level of digital maturity.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and uses reputable hosting and analytics providers. However, it lacks important security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No forms or user inputs reduce attack surface, but absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates compliance gaps with GDPR. No incident response or security contact information is provided, limiting transparency and readiness. DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice for domain security.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance security posture.
  3. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to strengthen DNS security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are used.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern frontend stack with Tailwind CSS and Font Awesome, served over HTTPS from OVH SAS hosting. It is mobile responsive and uses Google Fonts and Cloudflare Insights for analytics. The HTML is valid and well-structured, but lacks advanced SEO metadata such as Open Graph or JSON-LD structured data. Performance is moderate with some external dependencies. Accessibility features are basic but present. No CMS detected, likely a static or custom-built site. No forms or user input fields reduce complexity and risk. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from improved SEO and security enhancements.
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.
