Scalac Sp. z o.o. is a well-established software development company specializing in Scala and related technologies such as Akka, Kafka, Spark, and AI services. Founded in 2014 and operating primarily from Poland with a presence in San Francisco, the company offers a broad range of services including consulting, team extension, project development, and training. Their market position is strong within the Scala ecosystem, supported by client testimonials, case studies, and industry recognitions. The website reflects a professional and modern digital presence with comprehensive content tailored to businesses seeking advanced software solutions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and leverages a diverse technology stack that includes modern programming languages and cloud platforms. Performance and mobile optimization are excellent, with good SEO and accessibility practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS, reCAPTCHA on forms, and cookie consent mechanisms, though there is room for improvement in explicit security headers and published security policies. Overall, the security posture is good with no critical vulnerabilities detected in the public content. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear policies and consent banners. The domain WHOIS data is consistent and transparent, reinforcing the legitimacy of the business. The website demonstrates a high level of professionalism and trustworthiness, making it a reliable source for potential clients. Strategic recommendations include enabling DNSSEC, publishing a formal security policy and incident response contacts, and enhancing security headers to further harden the site. These steps will improve trust and compliance, supporting Scalac's growth and reputation in the competitive software development market.

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 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';…
  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  3. 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 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

Scalac operates in the technology sector focusing on software development outsourcing and consulting, particularly in Scala and emerging technologies like AI and blockchain. Their business model revolves around providing expert teams and custom software solutions to startups and enterprises. The company leverages a strong partnership ecosystem and maintains active engagement through newsletters, blogs, and social media. Revenue streams likely include consulting fees, project development contracts, and training services. Scalac's competitive advantage lies in its specialized expertise, client testimonials, and recognized industry badges. Growth indicators include a decade of operation, a medium-sized expert team, and a diverse technology portfolio. The company maintains a global footprint with offices in Poland and the USA, targeting fintech, adtech, and healthtech sectors among others.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and reCAPTCHA integration on contact forms to prevent spam. Cookie consent is actively managed, indicating GDPR awareness. However, explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options are not visibly configured, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No security or incident response policies are published, and no dedicated security contact emails are provided. The absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response plan on the website.
  3. Add security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against web vulnerabilities.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program and publish security.txt to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Continue regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.

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.
