Risk levelMedium

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

Uniwersytet SWPS is a well-established private university in Poland, founded in 2001, offering a wide range of academic programs and research activities. The website reflects a mature digital presence with extensive content related to education, research, and community engagement. The institution targets students, researchers, and the academic community, positioning itself as a significant player in the Polish higher education sector. Technically, the website employs a variety of modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Cookiebot for consent management, indicating a moderate to advanced digital infrastructure. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent mechanisms in place, although improvements such as enabling DNSSEC and adding security headers are recommended. Privacy compliance is partially met with cookie consent but lacks explicit privacy and terms of service documentation. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences.

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. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • 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

The university operates primarily in the education sector, providing degree programs, postgraduate studies, and research services. Its business model is based on tuition fees, research grants, and community services. The website's extensive autocomplete search features for courses, staff, and organizational units demonstrate a complex academic ecosystem. The institution benefits from a long domain history and consistent branding, enhancing its market credibility. While no direct partnerships or subsidiaries are identified from the website, the presence of multiple campuses and research centers suggests a broad operational footprint. The use of marketing and analytics tools indicates active engagement in digital marketing and student recruitment efforts.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant cookie consent, reflecting good privacy practices. However, the absence of DNSSEC and some recommended security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options) indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency in security governance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and verify security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service to improve transparency and compliance.
  4. Establish and publicize a security policy and incident response contact information to build trust and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a mix of established JavaScript libraries (jQuery, jQuery UI), modern analytics (Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity), and marketing automation (SalesManago). The presence of Cookiebot indicates a mature approach to cookie consent management. The site appears to be custom-built or uses a proprietary CMS, with no common CMS detected. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and basic accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Opportunities exist to modernize the tech stack by reducing legacy dependencies and enhancing accessibility compliance.
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.
