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

The website simp.pl represents the Stowarzyszenie Inżynierów i Techników Mechaników Polskich (SIMP), a professional association for engineers and technicians in Poland. The site serves as an informational and community platform for its members, providing resources and updates relevant to the mechanical engineering sector. The organization appears well-established with a consistent brand presence and a clear focus on its target audience of Polish engineering professionals. Technically, the website is built on WordPress, utilizing Bootstrap for responsive design and Microsoft Clarity for analytics. The site is accessible, mobile-optimized, and employs standard security practices including HTTPS and security headers. However, it lacks explicit privacy and terms of service pages, which are important for compliance with GDPR and other regulations. No direct contact information such as emails or phone numbers were found in the visible content, which may affect user trust and accessibility. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but could improve its compliance and transparency aspects.

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

9 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

SIMP operates as a non-profit professional association within the engineering sector in Poland. Its business model focuses on member services, professional development, and community engagement rather than commercial sales. The association likely generates revenue through membership fees, events, and publications. The website positions SIMP as a key player in the Polish engineering community, leveraging social media presence on Facebook to engage with its audience. The lack of detailed business and contact information on the site suggests a focus on internal members rather than external commercial clients. The organization benefits from a stable market position as a recognized professional body but could enhance its digital presence by adding more transparent business and compliance information.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and several security headers implemented, which protect against common web vulnerabilities. The use of Microsoft Clarity indicates some level of user behavior tracking, but no excessive or suspicious tracking technologies were detected. The absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism limits the site's transparency and readiness to handle security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found in the HTML content. To improve security maturity, the organization should consider publishing security and privacy policies, implementing formal incident response contacts, and regularly auditing third-party plugins and scripts for vulnerabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing GDPR compliance and data handling practices.
  2. Add terms of service and security policy pages to improve transparency and legal compliance.
  3. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for user support and security incident reporting.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet modern standards and improve user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with Bootstrap 3.3.5 for responsive design and Google Web Fonts for typography. It uses Microsoft Clarity for analytics and tracking user interactions. The site loads external scripts asynchronously to improve performance. The HTML structure is valid and SEO-friendly with appropriate meta tags and Open Graph data for social media sharing. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring usability across devices. However, the site could benefit from updating to newer versions of Bootstrap and WordPress to reduce technical debt and improve security. Hosting provider details were not explicitly found, but the site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could be modernized for enhanced performance and security.
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.
