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.

Dark web exposure

Add-on

Leaked records that mention kvik.de, from OffSeq Breach.

No leaked records found

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Kvik operates in the retail sector focusing on home furniture with a business model centered on direct sales and online presence across multiple European markets. The company leverages partnerships and regional domains to localize offerings. Their use of advanced marketing and analytics platforms suggests a data-driven approach to customer engagement and conversion optimization. The absence of explicit contact information on the main page may indicate reliance on in-store or regional contact points. The brand's consistent messaging and design reinforce its market credibility. Growth potential is supported by digital maturity and multi-channel marketing strategies.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and a mature cookie consent framework via Cookiebot. No signs of malware, phishing, or exposed credentials were found. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. The integration of multiple third-party services is managed with consent, but continuous monitoring for vulnerabilities in these dependencies is recommended. GDPR compliance is evident through detailed privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security maturity is high but could be enhanced with explicit security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and governance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance visibility of company contact information for security and privacy inquiries to build trust.
  5. Regularly audit third-party libraries and services for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Next.js, ensuring server-side rendering and good SEO. Hosting appears to be on Microsoft Azure, inferred from domain and cookie data. The site uses advanced tag management and analytics tools such as Tealium and Google Tag Manager, alongside marketing platforms like Sleeknote and Abtasty for optimization and retargeting. Performance is fast with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. The use of IndexedDB and local storage for cookies and tracking indicates a sophisticated data collection approach. No technical debt or deprecated libraries were detected, suggesting ongoing maintenance and modernization.
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.
