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 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

  4. Network security

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

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security

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

MHB operates in the manufacturing sector with a focus on steel architectural products. Their competitive advantage lies in their long-standing heritage, exclusive product development, and project-specific customization capabilities. Revenue streams likely include product sales, project consulting, and installation services. The target customer segments are architects, construction firms, and high-end residential and commercial developers. The company maintains a partnership ecosystem including regional websites (mhb.nl, mhb.us) and branding agencies (byron.nl). Growth indicators include active social media engagement and certifications that enhance market trust. The business model is vertically integrated, controlling design through installation, which supports quality and brand reputation.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from abuse. No security headers were detected in the HTML content, which is a potential area for improvement. There is no visible security or incident response policy, nor a vulnerability disclosure program, which could be a gap in compliance with best practices and regulations such as GDPR and NIS2. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were found. The use of reputable plugins and performance tools suggests ongoing maintenance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adding security headers, explicit policies, and a security.txt file.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTP security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance website accessibility to meet WCAG standards for broader compliance and usability.
  5. Maintain regular updates of WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using Bootstrap and MDBootstrap for responsive design and UI components. It leverages jQuery 3.4.1 and AOS for animations. Google Tag Manager and Google reCAPTCHA v3 are integrated for analytics and security. WP Rocket is used for caching and performance optimization. The site loads moderately fast with good mobile optimization and SEO meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. Some lazy loading images have errors, which could affect user experience. Accessibility features are basic and could be improved. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-maintained with minor areas for improvement.
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.
