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

The chosen.pl is a professionally designed Polish website dedicated to the popular multi-season TV series 'The Chosen,' focusing on the life of Jesus Christ. It serves as a hub for streaming access, official merchandise sales, community engagement through ambassador programs, and newsletter subscriptions. The site targets Polish-speaking Christian audiences and fans of religious media. Technically, it is built on WordPress with modern integrations such as Gravity Forms, Matomo, and Google Analytics, and it demonstrates good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Security-wise, the site uses HTTPS, DNSSEC, and reCAPTCHA on forms, but lacks some advanced HTTP security headers and formal security policies. Overall, the website is trustworthy, content-rich, and well-maintained, with room for improvement in formal security documentation and additional headers.

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.

Priority findings

8 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

      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

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 website positions itself as the official Polish portal for 'The Chosen' series, leveraging partnerships with streaming platforms and a dedicated merchandise shop. Its business model combines free content distribution supported by donations and merchandise sales. The presence of ambassador programs and active social media channels indicates a strong community focus. The domain registration is consistent with the business age and transparent, enhancing credibility. The site integrates multiple external domains for streaming, sales, and analytics, reflecting a mature digital ecosystem. Growth potential lies in expanding content offerings and formalizing security and privacy policies to build further trust.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security foundation with HTTPS, DNSSEC, and CAPTCHA protections. Cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR-compliant newsletter privacy clauses are present, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in security maturity. The lack of advanced HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options could expose the site to certain web-based attacks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing policies and adding security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add advanced HTTP security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Consider adding visible company contact emails and phone numbers to improve business credibility and user trust.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations and improve transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress CMS platform, using up-to-date version 6.8.3, with integrations such as Gravity Forms for form management, Matomo and Google Analytics for tracking, and Glide.js for interactive carousels. The site employs lazy loading for images to optimize performance and supports mobile responsiveness well. Hosting is provided by OVH SAS, a reputable provider, with DNSSEC enabled for domain security. While performance is moderate, there is potential for optimization in loading speed and accessibility features. The technical stack is robust and supports the business needs effectively, though some technical debt may exist in the form of missing security headers and limited accessibility enhancements.
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.
