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

SpecFile Project Sp. z o.o. operates the Specfile platform, a Polish-based software solution specializing in file and folder encryption, secure document sharing, and electronic registered letters. The company targets both private users and businesses across various sectors including legal, medical, HR, accounting, education, and photography. Their business model includes a free private use application and paid business accounts with additional features. The company has a solid market presence supported by awards and partnerships with recognized institutions such as NCBR. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies including Bootstrap, jQuery, Google Analytics, and Yandex Metrika. The platform is optimized primarily for Windows users and demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and SEO practices. Hosting and domain registration are managed by a reputable Polish registrar, home.pl S.A., with domain age consistent with the company's founding date. From a security perspective, the website enforces HTTPS and references strong cryptographic standards (RSA-4096, AES-256). However, it lacks explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response contacts. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Privacy compliance is basic but present, with cookie consent and terms of service available. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and safe, with a strong business credibility score. Recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and adding vulnerability disclosure information to improve transparency and security posture.

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

SpecFile holds a niche position in the Polish technology market focused on encryption and secure communication solutions. Its competitive advantage lies in ease of use, integration with Windows OS, and compliance with GDPR (RODO) requirements. Revenue streams include subscription fees for business accounts and pay-per-use electronic registered letters. The company targets SMEs and professionals requiring secure data handling. Growth indicators include partnerships with government and innovation bodies and recognition through multiple awards. The ecosystem includes related domains for documentation, blog, and testing security awareness. Strategic observations suggest a focus on expanding business user base and enhancing security features to maintain competitive edge.

Security posture

The current security maturity level is moderate to good. The use of HTTPS and strong cryptographic algorithms is a key strength. However, the absence of HTTP security headers and a formal security policy or incident response contact reduces the overall security posture. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure mechanisms or security.txt files, which are best practices for transparency. Compliance with GDPR is indicated but not fully documented on the website. Incident response readiness is unclear. The security culture appears to prioritize encryption technology but could benefit from enhanced communication and formal policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Enable DNSSEC for the domain to improve DNS security.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy page and provide clear incident response contact information.
  4. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Enhance privacy compliance documentation with explicit GDPR statements and data retention policies.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a solid technical foundation using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Bootstrap, and jQuery. It integrates third-party analytics and customer support tools such as Google Analytics, Yandex Metrika, and Zendesk. The hosting and domain registration are managed by a reputable Polish provider. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. There is room for improvement in accessibility and security header implementation. The technical stack is modern but could benefit from ongoing updates and security hardening to reduce technical debt and mitigate 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.
