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

The Stichting Register Montage Expert Brandveiligheid (MEB) operates as an independent non-profit organization focused on enhancing and certifying the quality and expertise in the installation of fire safety products in the Netherlands. Their market position is well-established within the Dutch construction and fire safety sector, supported by industry partnerships and certifications. The website serves as an informational and certification portal targeting professionals such as installers, installation companies, building owners, and educational institutions. Technically, the website is built on the Jimdo Creator CMS platform, utilizing standard web technologies including jQuery and third-party widgets from POWr.io. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with good SEO and accessibility basics. Security is adequate with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though explicit security headers and incident response information are lacking. From a security perspective, the site shows a mature posture with no visible vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data. However, improvements could be made by adding explicit security headers and publishing a security policy or incident response contacts. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a clear privacy policy and cookie management. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and aligned with its business mission. The risk level is low, but strategic enhancements in security transparency and technical hardening would further strengthen its posture.

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

4 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 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

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

MEB operates in a niche non-profit sector focused on fire safety certification in the Dutch construction industry. Its competitive advantage lies in its independent certification process and collaboration with industry bodies like Brandveilig Bouwen Nederland (BBN). The business model centers on certification and knowledge dissemination rather than direct commercial sales. The target customers are professional installers, companies, and building owners seeking verified fire safety expertise. Growth indicators include increasing certification uptake and industry recognition, such as awards and partnerships. The ecosystem includes related construction companies and educational institutions, enhancing its market credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security baseline with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published incident response contacts indicate room for improvement. There is no evidence of a formal security policy or vulnerability disclosure program. The use of third-party scripts like POWr.io requires ongoing monitoring to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with good foundational controls but lacking advanced transparency and policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response and vulnerability disclosure contacts.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate supply chain risks.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider adding terms of service to clarify user and business obligations and legal protections.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Jimdo Creator CMS platform, leveraging jQuery and POWr.io widgets for enhanced functionality. It uses standard web fonts and Google Maps integration. The hosting is provided by Jimdo GmbH, a reputable provider. Performance is moderate with some room for optimization. The site is mobile responsive and SEO optimized with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. However, there is a lack of advanced security headers and no visible modern JavaScript frameworks or backend technologies beyond the CMS. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist in security and accessibility.
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.
