Risk levelLow

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

Kvik is a well-established Scandinavian retail brand specializing in Danish design for kitchens, bathrooms, and wardrobes. The website presents a professional and modern digital presence, leveraging advanced technologies such as Next.js and React, and integrates comprehensive privacy and cookie consent mechanisms compliant with GDPR. The brand operates multiple country-specific sister sites, indicating a broad market reach within Europe. Technically, the site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and SEO, with extensive use of third-party analytics and marketing tools to enhance user engagement and advertising effectiveness. Security posture is strong, with HTTPS enforced and appropriate security headers in place, although explicit public security policies and incident response information are not found. WHOIS data for the www subdomain is missing, but this does not detract significantly from the site's legitimacy given the professional presentation and consistent branding. Overall, Kvik's website reflects a mature digital infrastructure supporting a large retail business with good privacy and security practices.

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

Business context

Business profile

Kvik holds a strong market position in the retail sector focused on home design products, targeting consumers interested in high-quality Danish design. The business model centers on direct retail and design services, supported by a network of country-specific websites. The use of advanced marketing and analytics tools suggests a data-driven approach to customer engagement and growth. The absence of explicit contact information on the main site may be a minor gap in customer service transparency. The brand's consistent presence across multiple European markets and use of reputable third-party services indicate a stable and credible operation with potential for continued expansion.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and a robust cookie consent mechanism. The integration of multiple analytics and marketing platforms is managed with user consent, reflecting GDPR compliance. However, the lack of publicly available security policies, incident response plans, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents an area for improvement. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Regular audits of third-party scripts and the addition of a security.txt file would enhance transparency and incident readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  2. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability disclosures.
  3. Add clear and verified contact information including support emails and phone numbers.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and cookies for security and privacy compliance.
  5. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user rights.

Notes

The website is built on a modern React-based framework (Next.js), ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile optimization. It leverages cloud hosting likely via Microsoft Azure, and integrates multiple third-party services for analytics, marketing, and user engagement. The site uses advanced cookie consent management via Cookiebot, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. The technical implementation includes proper meta tags, SEO optimizations, and accessibility features. No significant technical debt or performance bottlenecks were identified. Opportunities exist to improve technical documentation around security and compliance for end users.
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.
