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

Study Tours to Poland (STP) is a well-established educational program managed by Fundacja Liderzy Przemian, funded by the Polish-American Freedom Foundation, and implemented in cooperation with Fundacja Borussia. The program focuses on organizing study visits and internships in Poland for students and professionals from Eastern Europe and neighboring regions, aiming to share Polish experiences and strengthen international cooperation. The website is professionally designed using WordPress, with good mobile optimization and clear navigation, supporting multiple languages. However, it lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which are important for GDPR compliance. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled, but could be improved by adding security headers and DNSSEC. Contact information is limited to a physical address, with no direct emails or phone numbers provided. Social media presence is active on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.

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

10 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 organization operates in the education and non-profit sectors, targeting students and professionals interested in cultural and institutional exchange. Its market position is niche but credible, supported by reputable partners and a long domain history since 2004. The business model is non-commercial, focusing on educational and cultural exchange rather than revenue generation. Partnerships with recognized foundations enhance its credibility and trustworthiness. The website content is relevant and professionally presented, supporting the program's goals and audience engagement.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data, indicating a baseline security maturity. However, the absence of security headers and DNSSEC reduces its defense-in-depth posture. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which limits transparency and preparedness. The lack of privacy and cookie policies also indicates compliance gaps with GDPR and related regulations. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could benefit from enhancements in policy visibility and technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  2. Implement DNSSEC to secure DNS resolution and prevent spoofing.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  4. Create a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure page to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Provide clear contact information including emails and phone numbers for general and security-related inquiries.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.8.3 with standard plugins and uses jQuery and Bootstrap for frontend functionality. Google Fonts are loaded for typography, and lazy loading is implemented for images. The site is hosted by home.pl S.A., a reputable Polish hosting provider. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Mobile optimization is good, and SEO basics such as meta tags and hreflang for multilingual support are implemented. There is room for improvement in accessibility features and advanced SEO optimizations. No analytics or tracking scripts were detected, indicating minimal user tracking.
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.
