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

Quarkslab is a cybersecurity company specializing in software protection, data protection, and security audit consulting services. The company targets technology professionals and enterprises seeking advanced security solutions. Their market position is that of a specialized cybersecurity provider with a focus on innovation protection, data security, and IoT lifecycle security. The website is built on WordPress with Elementor and integrates modern analytics and consent management tools, indicating a moderate level of digital maturity. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place, but lacks explicit privacy policies and security headers. The absence of WHOIS data for the domain raises some concerns about domain registration transparency. Overall, the website is professional but the missing page and lack of some compliance documents suggest room for improvement.

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

8 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

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

Quarkslab operates in the technology sector providing cybersecurity solutions including intellectual property protection, code integrity, AI model security, and supply chain security. Their business model is B2B focused on consulting and product offerings for security audits and software protection. The company leverages partnerships and maintains social media presence on LinkedIn and Twitter. The website content and structure indicate a medium-sized enterprise with consistent branding. However, the lack of visible contact information and privacy policies on this page limits direct customer engagement. The company uses Google Ads and analytics tools for marketing and tracking, suggesting active digital marketing efforts.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses a cookie consent platform (Axeptio), which are positive security practices. However, there is no evidence of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a security.txt file or incident response contact information reduces transparency for security researchers. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be strengthened by implementing additional headers, publishing security policies, and improving accessibility compliance.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages accessible from all pages.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve web security.
  3. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts and general business contacts.
  4. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and plugins to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Improve accessibility features and SEO optimization to enhance user experience and search engine ranking.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress 6.7.1 using Elementor and Elementor Pro, with multiple plugins for enhanced UI and analytics integration. It uses Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and Plezi for tracking user behavior. The site loads multiple CSS and JS libraries including jQuery, Swiper, and Font Awesome. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization. The site uses a cookie consent mechanism via Axeptio, indicating attention to privacy compliance. However, the 404 error on the requested page indicates some broken links or outdated URLs. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but could benefit from improved error handling and enhanced security configurations.
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.
