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

Polsat1.pl is the official website of Telewizja Polsat 1, a major Polish national television channel offering a wide range of programming including news, entertainment, and serials. The site serves as a digital platform for program schedules, video content, and news updates targeting Polish-speaking audiences interested in television media. The website demonstrates a mature digital infrastructure with modern JavaScript libraries, video streaming capabilities, and integration with major analytics and social media platforms such as Google Analytics and Facebook. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and no visible sensitive data exposure, though the absence of security headers and privacy policies indicates room for improvement in compliance and security best practices. The lack of publicly available WHOIS data reduces transparency but does not detract from the site's professional appearance and trustworthiness. Overall, the site is well-positioned in the Polish media market with consistent branding and quality content.

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

10 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

  2. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  3. 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
    • 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';…

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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention polsat1.pl, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Breach holds no records for polsat1.pl right now. New leaks arrive continuously, so monitoring on Breach alerts you if that changes.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The website reflects a large media entity focused on broadcast and online content distribution. Polsat1.pl is part of a broader Polsat network with multiple partner domains linked, indicating a strong partnership ecosystem. The business model revolves around television broadcasting supplemented by digital content delivery and advertising. The target customer segment is the general Polish public interested in TV programming and entertainment. The site leverages tracking and marketing tools to optimize audience engagement and advertising revenue. Growth indicators include active content updates and integration with social media. Strategic observations suggest the company could enhance transparency and compliance by publishing privacy and cookie policies and improving security headers.

Security posture

The security maturity level is moderate to good. The site uses HTTPS and asynchronous script loading to improve security and performance. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options is a gap. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. Compliance with GDPR is unclear due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Incident response readiness is not evident as no security contact information or security.txt file was found. The site uses third-party analytics and tracking scripts, which require regular auditing to prevent supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be strengthened by implementing recommended headers and compliance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and consider publishing a security.txt file for vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking services to minimize supply chain security risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and ensure all forms have secure input handling and validation.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, and specialized libraries like Swiper.js for sliders and custom video player scripts. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Facebook SDK for analytics and marketing. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and uses asynchronous script loading to improve performance. However, no CMS or hosting provider information was detected. Performance is moderate with potential for optimization. Accessibility is basic and could be improved. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts and lack of visible security headers. Modernization opportunities include adopting a CMS for easier content management and enhancing security configurations.
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.
