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

Polska.travel is the official national tourism portal of Poland, operated by the Polska Organizacja Turystyczna. The website provides extensive travel inspiration, regional and city guides, and promotes certified tourism products. It targets tourists and travelers interested in exploring Poland's cultural and natural attractions. The site is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and accessible, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, it runs on WordPress with modern plugins and integrates Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA for analytics and security. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms, though some security headers could be improved. WHOIS data is privacy protected, which is typical for government-affiliated sites, and does not raise legitimacy concerns given the official branding and content. Overall, the site is trustworthy, compliant with GDPR, and serves as a key digital asset for Poland's tourism promotion.

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

5 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

      • 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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 portal occupies a strategic position as Poland's national tourism information hub, leveraging government backing to provide authoritative content. Its business model is informational and promotional, focusing on enhancing Poland's tourism appeal domestically and internationally. The site benefits from partnerships with official tourism brands and regional entities, enhancing its ecosystem. Revenue streams are likely government-funded with possible marketing collaborations. The target audience includes domestic and international tourists, cultural enthusiasts, and travel planners. The site demonstrates strong content quality and user engagement features, supporting growth and brand trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS, use of reCAPTCHA to prevent spam, and a comprehensive cookie consent banner aligned with GDPR requirements. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analysis. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and a published security policy or incident response plan indicates room for improvement. The lack of a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file suggests limited transparency in security communications. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a formal security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party plugins and scripts to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance user privacy controls and provide clear data retention policies to further align with GDPR and user expectations.

Technical notes

Notes

The site is built on WordPress 6.8.1 with jQuery and integrates Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA, indicating a modern and maintainable tech stack. Hosting appears to be provided by Oktawave, a reputable Polish cloud provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Some technical debt may exist in the form of missing security headers and potential plugin overhead. Overall, the infrastructure supports a professional and scalable tourism portal.
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.
