MHB B.V. is a well-established Dutch manufacturer specializing in ultra-slim steel windows, doors, and facades, with a heritage dating back to 1667. The company positions itself as a global leader in innovative steel profile systems, offering handcrafted, thermally broken steel solutions tailored to both interior and exterior architectural projects. Their business model emphasizes co-creation and customization, targeting architects, builders, and high-end property developers. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, supported by certifications and a strong social media presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern frameworks and libraries such as Bootstrap, MDBootstrap, and AOS for animations. Performance optimizations are in place via WP Rocket, and SEO is enhanced using Yoast SEO Premium. The site is mobile-optimized and provides a good user experience with clear navigation and relevant content. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and integrates Google reCAPTCHA v3 to protect forms from abuse. While no critical vulnerabilities were detected, the absence of certain security headers and a formal security policy page suggests room for improvement. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies, including consent mechanisms, aligning with GDPR requirements.

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 niche focus on high-quality steel architectural products. Their competitive advantage lies in their centuries-old craftsmanship combined with modern innovation in thermally broken steel profiles. The direct-to-project business model with co-creation capabilities allows them to serve bespoke architectural needs, appealing to a discerning clientele. Their partnership with branding agency BYRON and presence on multiple related domains indicate a mature marketing and operational ecosystem. The company’s certifications and detailed contact information further reinforce their credibility and market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA to mitigate automated abuse. However, the lack of visible security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security hardening. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a public incident response or vulnerability disclosure policy suggests limited transparency in security incident management. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could benefit from enhanced header policies and formal security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive HTTP security headers including 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 preparedness.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern WordPress-based infrastructure with a combination of Bootstrap, MDBootstrap, and AOS for responsive design and animations. Performance optimizations are handled by WP Rocket, and SEO is managed via Yoast SEO Premium, indicating a focus on search visibility. The site loads moderately fast and is mobile-optimized, though some images show lazy loading errors which could be addressed. The technology stack is current and well-supported, but the site could improve accessibility compliance and security header implementation to reduce technical risks.
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.
