Risk levelMedium

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

The website www.sciencemarket.pl represents the Centrum Transferu Technologii CITTRU, affiliated with the Jagiellonian University in Poland. It serves as a platform for technology transfer, offering databases of inventions, research services, and open source software programs primarily targeting academic and industry partners. The site is professionally designed with clear navigation and provides comprehensive contact information including a contact form secured with Google reCAPTCHA. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Slick Carousel, and enforces HTTPS with a good SSL configuration. However, it lacks some security headers and a published privacy policy, which are areas for improvement. The WHOIS data is unavailable, likely due to registry policies, but the website's affiliation with a reputable university supports its legitimacy. Overall, the site is secure, functional, and trustworthy, though it could enhance privacy compliance and security posture further.

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

12 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

  2. 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.

Technical appendix

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

Business context

Business profile

The CITTRU operates in the education and technology sectors, focusing on bridging academic research with commercial applications. Its business model revolves around facilitating technology transfer and research collaborations, targeting researchers, academic institutions, and industry partners. The presence of partner organizations and a professional team indicates a well-established ecosystem. The website's content and services suggest a medium-sized entity with a strong academic backing, positioning it as a key player in Polish academic technology transfer. Revenue streams likely include research service contracts and licensing of inventions. The partnership with other innovation clusters and centers enhances its market reach and credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms, and client-side validation. However, it lacks important HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could mitigate risks like clickjacking and cross-site scripting. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The absence of a published security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security management. GDPR compliance is partially indicated by the cookie consent banner but lacks a detailed privacy policy. Overall, the site is secure for general use but could improve in formal security governance and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy detailing data collection, processing, and GDPR compliance to improve transparency and legal compliance.
  3. Add a security policy and incident response contact information to build trust and readiness for security incidents.
  4. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance SEO metadata with meaningful descriptions and keywords to improve search engine visibility and user engagement.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with libraries such as jQuery, jQuery UI, and Slick Carousel for UI components. Google Fonts and Font Awesome provide typography and iconography. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager are used for analytics and tracking, while Google reCAPTCHA v2 secures the contact form against spam. The site is responsive and optimized for mobile devices with accessibility features like skip links and font size/contrast toggles. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. The absence of a detected CMS suggests a custom or university-managed platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modern security header adoption and enhanced SEO practices.
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.
