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

Kvik UK Ltd is a well-established retailer specializing in modern Danish design kitchen, bathroom, and wardrobe solutions, targeting consumers seeking affordable yet quality home furnishing products. The company operates a professional and well-branded website with a strong presence across multiple European markets, supported by regional partner sites. The technical infrastructure leverages modern web technologies including Next.js and React, with integrations for analytics, marketing, and cookie compliance, indicating a mature digital presence. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforcement, security headers, and comprehensive cookie consent mechanisms, though the absence of a dedicated security policy and incident response contact suggests room for improvement. Overall, the website is trustworthy, compliant with GDPR, and provides a positive user experience with clear navigation and mobile optimization. Strategic recommendations include publishing explicit security policies and enhancing incident response transparency to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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 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';…

  2. 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

Business profile

Kvik UK Ltd holds a strong market position in the retail sector for kitchen and home furnishing products, leveraging a direct-to-consumer business model with a focus on modern Danish design. The company benefits from a broad partnership ecosystem across Europe, enhancing its market reach. Revenue streams are primarily from product sales and design services. The website's integration with multiple marketing and analytics platforms supports targeted customer engagement and growth. The brand demonstrates consistent and professional content, reinforcing its credibility and customer trust. Growth indicators include multi-country presence and advanced digital marketing tools. The company could benefit from expanding transparency around security and compliance to maintain competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers implemented, reducing common web vulnerabilities. Cookie consent is managed via Cookiebot, ensuring GDPR compliance and user privacy. The use of reputable third-party services for analytics and marketing is well controlled. However, the lack of a published security policy and incident response contact limits transparency and preparedness for potential security incidents. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Compliance with GDPR is evident, but further enhancements in security documentation and vulnerability disclosure would improve the overall security culture and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy page detailing security practices and commitments.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information such as a security@ or abuse@ email address.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly review and update cookie and privacy policies to reflect evolving regulations and practices.
  5. Enhance transparency around data protection officer contact details and compliance measures.

Technical notes

The site uses advanced analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Tealium, and Sleeknote, enabling detailed user behavior tracking and targeted marketing. Accessibility and mobile optimization are well implemented, contributing to a positive user experience. The technical stack is up-to-date with no obvious deprecated or vulnerable libraries detected. Opportunities exist to further optimize performance and implement additional security best practices such as Content Security Policy fine-tuning and enhanced monitoring.
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.
