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

Plotek.pl is a well-established Polish entertainment news website specializing in celebrity gossip, scandals, and photo galleries. It operates under the Agora SA media group, a major player in the Polish media landscape. The site targets a general audience interested in entertainment news and celebrity culture. Technically, the website employs modern advertising and tracking technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Publisher Tags, OneTrust for cookie consent, and Gemius for audience measurement. The site is served over HTTPS with a Content Security Policy in place, indicating a good security posture. Privacy compliance is robust with clear cookie and privacy policies and consent mechanisms implemented. However, WHOIS data for the domain is not publicly available, likely due to registry privacy policies, but this is mitigated by the site's association with a reputable media company. Overall, the website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure with good content quality and security practices.

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. 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

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

Plotek.pl holds a strong position in the Polish entertainment media sector, leveraging Agora SA's extensive media network. Its business model is primarily advertising-driven, supported by multiple ad networks and tracking services. The site benefits from a large audience base interested in celebrity news, which is reflected in its comprehensive content and social media engagement. The partnership with gazeta.pl and use of advanced marketing tools suggest a well-integrated ecosystem. While direct contact information is not prominently displayed, the presence of privacy and cookie policies indicates regulatory compliance. The site’s growth potential is supported by its established brand and technological investments.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and a Content Security Policy header present. It uses reputable third-party services for analytics and advertising, which are common in media websites but require ongoing monitoring for vulnerabilities. No critical security issues or exposed sensitive data were detected. Cookie consent and GDPR compliance mechanisms are implemented, enhancing privacy protections. However, additional security headers like X-Frame-Options and Strict-Transport-Security could further strengthen defenses. The absence of a public security policy or incident response contact is a minor gap. Overall, the site is secure for its business context but could improve in transparency and header coverage.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional HTTP security headers such as X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and advertising libraries to mitigate risks from vulnerable dependencies.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance with accessibility standards and broaden audience reach.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Continue monitoring GDPR compliance and update privacy notices as regulations evolve.

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript-heavy front end with integration of multiple advertising and tracking technologies including Google Tag Manager, Google Publisher Tags, Gemius, Adform, Yieldbird, and JustTag.

Performance is moderate, with preloading of fonts and images and deferred script loading. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements detected.

Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a high-traffic media site with complex advertising requirements.
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.
