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 profile systems for architectural applications. Their competitive advantage lies in their long heritage, exclusive product development, and project-based custom solutions. The business model is centered on manufacturing and delivering high-end steel products with a strong emphasis on craftsmanship and innovation. The company targets professional segments such as architects and real estate developers. Their partnership ecosystem includes regional sites for European and US markets, enhancing their international reach. Growth indicators include active social media engagement and a well-maintained website. Strategic observations suggest a focus on maintaining premium market positioning and expanding digital marketing efforts.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with mandatory HTTPS and DNSSEC enabled, reducing risks of interception and DNS spoofing. Google reCAPTCHA v3 is implemented to mitigate automated abuse. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options represents an area for improvement. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. Incident response and security policy information are not publicly available, which could be enhanced to improve transparency and readiness. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from additional hardening and documented policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan to improve transparency and preparedness.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance website accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.
  5. Maintain and monitor privacy compliance, especially with evolving GDPR and related regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS, utilizing jQuery 3.4.1, Bootstrap, and MDBootstrap for UI components, ensuring a modern and responsive design. Google Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA v3 are integrated for analytics and bot protection. The site loads with moderate performance, likely influenced by rich media content and multiple external scripts. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and JSON-LD structured data. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. Hosting details are not explicitly identified but DNSSEC and registrar data indicate a stable infrastructure. Technical risks are minimal but ongoing maintenance of plugins and security headers is recommended to avoid technical debt.
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.
