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

      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

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • High

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

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

Wirtualna Polska holds a strong market position as a major Polish media portal with diversified content and services. Its business model revolves around advertising revenue, content syndication, and value-added services such as email and TV streaming. The company targets a broad Polish audience, including general news consumers, sports fans, and entertainment seekers. The extensive ecosystem of subsidiaries and partner domains enhances its market reach and content diversity. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and continuous content updates. The company maintains a professional online presence with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, reflecting adherence to GDPR standards.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and basic security headers present. The use of service workers and cookie consent banners indicates attention to modern web security and privacy practices. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of advanced security headers like Content-Security-Policy and HSTS suggests room for improvement. There is no public security policy or incident response contact information, which could enhance transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from additional hardening and formalized security disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement Content-Security-Policy and HSTS headers to strengthen security.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact information.
  3. Introduce a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Maintain transparency on data retention policies and update privacy notices accordingly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern JavaScript-based frontend with GraphQL APIs and service workers, supporting a responsive and interactive user experience. The tech stack includes analytics and advertising integrations such as Hotjar and Google AdSense. Performance is moderate with room for optimization, particularly in mobile responsiveness and accessibility. The CMS appears custom or proprietary, tailored to the company's needs. Technical risks are minimal, but continuous monitoring and updates are recommended to avoid outdated libraries or potential vulnerabilities. Overall, the infrastructure supports the business goals effectively with opportunities for modernization and enhanced security.
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.
