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

Wonga.pl sp. z o.o. operates a well-established online lending platform in Poland, specializing in short-term and installment loans. The company has a strong market position, evidenced by its ranking as number one in loan rankings and over 12 years of operation. Their services target Polish consumers seeking fast and convenient online loans with minimal formalities and attractive benefits. The website demonstrates a mature technical infrastructure using modern frameworks such as Astro and Bootstrap, integrated with analytics and consent management tools like Google Tag Manager and OneTrust. Security is robust with HTTPS, security headers, and encrypted bank account verification processes. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly disclosed, representing an area for improvement.

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

7 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

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. 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

Wonga's business model focuses on consumer finance through digital channels, offering both short-term and installment loans. Their competitive advantage lies in speed, convenience, and transparent pricing with no hidden fees. The company maintains regulatory compliance with Polish financial authorities and promotes trust through verified customer testimonials and certifications. Their partnership ecosystem includes recognized Polish financial organizations and government bodies. The website content and structure support clear customer journeys and engagement, indicating a customer-centric approach.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure data verification methods. Use of Sentry for error monitoring and OneTrust for cookie consent reflects a proactive approach to security and privacy compliance. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The absence of a public security policy or vulnerability disclosure program suggests room for enhancing transparency and incident readiness. Overall, the security maturity is high for an online financial service.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or bug bounty program to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear contact information for incident response or security concerns (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  4. Enhance transparency regarding data protection officer contact details to improve GDPR compliance visibility.
  5. Regularly review and update cookie and privacy policies to reflect evolving regulations and best practices.

Notes

The website is built on a modern tech stack centered around the Astro framework and Bootstrap for responsive design. Integration with Google Tag Manager and Sentry enables effective analytics and error tracking. The use of OneTrust ensures compliance with cookie consent regulations. Hosting details are not explicitly disclosed but the site loads quickly and is optimized for mobile devices. The technical implementation supports good SEO and accessibility standards. There are no signs of technical debt or outdated libraries. Opportunities exist to further enhance security transparency and incident management capabilities.
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.
