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

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

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

Des Kelly holds a strong market position in the Irish retail sector for home interiors, supported by multiple physical showrooms and a large product catalog. The business model combines online sales with in-store services such as home consultations and fitting. Key competitive advantages include a long-standing brand history, extensive product range, and integrated marketing strategies using Klaviyo and social media. The company targets homeowners and interior design enthusiasts in Ireland, leveraging content marketing through blogs and social media to engage customers. The partnership ecosystem includes Shopify for e-commerce, Cookiebot for compliance, and various analytics providers, indicating a mature digital marketing approach.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, appropriate security headers, and no exposed sensitive information in the HTML. The use of secure forms and consent management aligns with best practices for data protection. However, explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not found, representing an area for improvement. The absence of known vulnerable libraries and the use of reputable third-party services further enhance security. Overall, the site is well-protected against common web threats and compliant with privacy regulations, though formalizing security policies would strengthen the posture.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to enhance transparency and preparedness.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Regularly review and update third-party scripts to mitigate risks from external dependencies.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve inclusivity and compliance with standards.
  5. Maintain ongoing privacy compliance audits to adapt to evolving regulations and user expectations.

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.
