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

MBA Polymers Inc. is a globally recognized leader in the plastic recycling industry, specializing in converting post-consumer durable goods waste into high-value recycled plastic granulates. Founded in 1997, the company operates state-of-the-art production units across multiple countries including Germany, China, India, and the UK, serving manufacturers worldwide with sustainable materials that reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. Their patented technology and numerous certifications underscore their market leadership and commitment to quality and sustainability. Technically, the website is built on a modern WordPress platform using the Enfold theme, enhanced with SEO and performance plugins like Yoast SEO and WP Rocket. The site demonstrates excellent mobile optimization, fast loading times, and good accessibility features. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics and Tag Manager with privacy-conscious configurations such as IP anonymization. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements cookie consent mechanisms.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 · found on this site
  • 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

MBA Polymers holds a strong market position as a pioneer in plastic recycling, leveraging patented technology and global production facilities. Their B2B business model targets manufacturers seeking sustainable materials, supported by long-term partnerships such as with Nexeo Plastics. The company’s revenue streams likely derive from sales of recycled polymer granulates and technology licensing. Growth indicators include recent mergers and expansion of production capacity. Their strategic focus on sustainability and closed-loop supply chains aligns with global environmental trends, enhancing competitive advantage and brand reputation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and privacy-conscious analytics. Cookie consent is implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. However, the absence of explicit security headers and a published security policy or incident response contacts limits transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The company should consider publishing a security.txt file and enhancing HTTP security headers to improve defense-in-depth and incident response capabilities.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to secure domain name resolution and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Add and enforce HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and plugins for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a stable and widely supported WordPress CMS with a reputable theme and essential SEO and performance plugins. Hosting is provided by Alfahosting, indicated by nameservers. The site uses modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and MediaElement.js for media playback. Performance optimizations include lazy loading and CSS/JS minification via WP Rocket. The site is mobile responsive and accessible, with structured data implemented via JSON-LD for SEO. Technical risks are minimal but could be further reduced by updating security headers and ensuring all third-party components are current.
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.
