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

Quick-Step is an established international flooring brand specializing in the design and manufacture of laminate, wood, and vinyl flooring products. The company targets both consumers and professionals seeking easy-to-install and maintain flooring solutions. The website demonstrates a consistent brand presence with multiple country-specific domains, indicating a broad market reach. Technically, the site is built on the Sitecore CMS platform and employs modern JavaScript frameworks and analytics tools, reflecting a moderate to advanced digital maturity. However, the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies, as well as contact information, indicates gaps in compliance and user trust facilitation. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enabled and use of telemetry tools, but lacks visible security headers and formal incident response information. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy in content but would benefit from enhanced privacy compliance and transparency.

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

6 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 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

    • 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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

Quick-Step operates primarily in the manufacturing and retail sectors, focusing on flooring products. The business model revolves around product design, manufacturing, and distribution through international channels. The presence of multiple localized websites suggests a strong global footprint and customer segmentation by region. Partnerships with media and professional training platforms enhance brand engagement and market penetration. The lack of explicit business registration or contact details on the main site limits direct verification but does not detract from the brand's established market position. Revenue streams likely include product sales and professional services related to flooring installation and maintenance.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and integrates telemetry and analytics tools such as Microsoft Application Insights, Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Mouseflow, indicating active monitoring of site performance and user behavior. However, the absence of key security headers and lack of visible privacy and cookie policies suggest incomplete adherence to best security and privacy practices. No contact channels for incident response or vulnerability disclosure are provided, which could hinder timely security communications. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which reduces domain trustworthiness and may indicate privacy protection or registration issues. Overall, the security posture is moderate but requires improvements in transparency and policy implementation to meet compliance standards like GDPR and NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear user consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add visible and accessible contact information including security incident response contacts to enhance trust and readiness.
  3. Configure and deploy essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities and data leakage.
  5. Consider publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and improve security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Sitecore CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks including Alpine.js and various analytics and tracking services such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, Hotjar, Mouseflow, and Microsoft Application Insights. The site is mobile optimized with responsive images and preconnect hints to improve performance. However, accessibility features are basic and SEO optimization is limited, with a 'noindex' robots meta tag present which may affect search engine visibility. The site lacks visible security headers and explicit privacy or cookie consent mechanisms. Performance is moderate, with deferred and async loading of scripts to enhance user experience. The WHOIS data is missing, which is a technical risk for domain legitimacy verification.
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.
