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

SuitcasesIreland.ie is an e-commerce website specializing in the sale of official Kono luggage products in Ireland. It positions itself as Ireland's only official Kono retailer, offering a range of cabin and large suitcases with a one-year warranty and free nationwide delivery. The website is built on the Shopify platform, utilizing modern e-commerce technologies and third-party apps to enhance user experience and product presentation. Technical infrastructure includes Shopify's CDN hosting, Google Consent Mode for privacy compliance, and hCaptcha for form security. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS enforced and standard security headers likely present, though explicit privacy and terms policies are not found, which impacts compliance and trust. The absence of WHOIS data limits domain legitimacy verification. Overall, the site appears professional and functional for retail customers but would benefit from enhanced transparency and contact information to improve trust and compliance.

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

3 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

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

The business operates in the retail and e-commerce sector, targeting consumers in Ireland seeking quality luggage products. Its unique market position as the sole official Kono retailer in Ireland provides a competitive advantage. The business model is direct-to-consumer online sales with value-added services such as free delivery and warranty. The website leverages Shopify's ecosystem and integrates marketing and customer engagement tools like Booster Apps. There is no evidence of partnerships or subsidiaries from the data. Growth potential is tied to brand recognition and expanding product offerings. The lack of detailed company information and contact details may hinder customer trust and limit business credibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced, use of Google Consent Mode for GDPR compliance, and hCaptcha protecting forms against automated abuse. However, the absence of published privacy policies, terms of service, security policies, and incident response contacts indicates gaps in compliance and transparency. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security reviews to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small e-commerce site but requires improvements in policy publication and incident readiness to meet higher compliance standards.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service accessible from the website footer.
  2. Add explicit contact information including company email and phone number for customer and security inquiries.
  3. Implement and publish a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure policy to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience for all visitors.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and apps for security vulnerabilities and update them promptly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Shopify using the Dawn theme, leveraging Shopify's CDN for hosting and performance. It uses modern JavaScript modules and integrates apps such as Variant Swatch King for product variant presentation and Booster Apps for marketing. Google Consent Mode V2 is implemented for cookie consent management, indicating attention to privacy compliance. Performance is moderate with deferred script loading and asynchronous resource fetching. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design and appropriate meta viewport settings. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. SEO is supported by meta tags and Open Graph data. The lack of WHOIS data and explicit business contact details represents a technical and trust gap. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid for a small to medium e-commerce operation but could benefit from enhanced transparency and compliance features.
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.
