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

Audus Kitchens is a small, regionally focused luxury kitchen design and installation company serving the St Albans, Wokingham, and Windlesham areas in the United Kingdom. The company specializes in high-end German kitchen designs and offers a range of fitted furniture solutions including living rooms, bedrooms, and home offices. Their website is professionally designed using the Squarespace platform, featuring rich multimedia content and clear navigation tailored to their target audience of homeowners seeking premium kitchen solutions. The business maintains an active social media presence across multiple platforms, enhancing their market visibility and customer engagement. Technically, the website leverages modern web technologies and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, and CrazyEgg. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, though there is room for improvement in accessibility and security headers implementation. The absence of explicit privacy and terms of service pages is a notable gap in compliance documentation. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and avoids exposing sensitive data, but lacks several recommended security headers that could enhance protection against common web threats. The WHOIS lookup for the domain failed due to an invalid domain name format with the 'www' prefix, which is inconsistent with the active website presence. This discrepancy slightly reduces the trust score but does not outweigh the professional appearance and operational status of the business. Overall, Audus Kitchens presents a credible and professional online presence with good business credibility and technical implementation. Strategic improvements in security headers, privacy documentation, and domain registration clarity would further strengthen their security posture and compliance standing.

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.

Priority findings

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

  2. 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 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';…

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

Audus Kitchens operates in the luxury home furnishing sector with a focus on kitchen design and installation. Their market positioning as a regional specialist in premium German kitchens provides a competitive advantage in their geographic area. The business model centers on bespoke design services combined with professional installation, targeting affluent homeowners. Revenue streams likely derive from direct sales of kitchen units, fitted furniture, and associated appliances. The company demonstrates growth potential through active social media engagement and multiple showroom locations. Partnerships with German manufacturers and presence on platforms like Houzz indicate a well-established ecosystem. The website content and structure reflect a mature business operation with clear branding and customer focus.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. However, the lack of critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a compliance gap that could increase risk exposure. The absence of published security policies or incident response contacts limits transparency and preparedness communication. Tracking scripts and marketing tools are extensively used, necessitating careful management to avoid privacy infringements. No immediate vulnerabilities or malware indicators were detected. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small business but would benefit from enhanced header implementation and documented security policies to align with GDPR and NIS2 requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, and Referrer-Policy to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Publish clear privacy policy and terms of service pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  3. Add explicit security and incident response contact information to facilitate vulnerability reporting and incident management.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize risks from vulnerable libraries.
  5. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is accurate and consistent with the website to enhance legitimacy.

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace CMS platform, utilizing modern HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript technologies. It integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, Microsoft Clarity, CrazyEgg, and Zoho SalesIQ for user tracking and engagement. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good SEO metadata implementation. Performance is moderate, with potential improvements in loading speed and accessibility features. The technical infrastructure is stable and suitable for the business scale, though enhancements in security configurations and privacy compliance are recommended to reduce technical debt and future risks.
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.
