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 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

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

Prószyński Media operates in the media sector with a focus on book publishing and distribution. Their business model revolves around publishing diverse literary genres and selling through an online store and other channels. The company targets Polish-speaking readers interested in various literary forms, including youth and popular science books. Their competitive advantage lies in their size and broad catalog, supported by digital marketing and e-commerce infrastructure. The company maintains active engagement through multiple social media platforms and podcast channels, indicating a modern approach to audience interaction. Growth indicators include frequent new releases and bestseller promotions. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified from the data. The company appears to maintain a consistent brand image and high content quality, reinforcing trust and market presence.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring encrypted communications. Cookie consent and privacy policies indicate compliance with GDPR requirements. However, no explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options were detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. The use of third-party scripts and marketing pixels introduces potential risk vectors, necessitating regular security audits. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the analyzed content. Incident response and security policy documentation are not publicly available, which could be improved to demonstrate security maturity. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from additional hardening and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan accessible on the website.
  3. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher compliance standards and improve user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress with WooCommerce, leveraging a modern tech stack including jQuery, Divi theme, and various plugins for SEO, marketing, and GDPR compliance. Performance is moderate with caching and optimization via WP Rocket. The site is mobile-optimized and uses structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO benefits. External dependencies include fonts.googleapis.com, cdnjs.cloudflare.com, and mailerlite assets. The technical implementation is solid but could improve accessibility and security header implementation. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the infrastructure supports a professional e-commerce publishing platform with room for technical 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.
