The website 'Total Design Kitchens' serves as a local business platform specializing in bespoke kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom design services in Hull, East Yorkshire. The business targets local homeowners seeking personalized home improvement solutions. The site content is basic and primarily promotional, with limited digital sophistication. Technically, the website employs common front-end libraries such as Bootstrap and jQuery, and integrates Google Analytics and StatCounter for visitor tracking. However, the site lacks HTTPS, security headers, and modern security practices, which exposes it to potential risks.

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.

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.

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.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Business context
Business profile
Total Design Kitchens operates as a small, local service provider in the home improvement sector, focusing on kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom design. The business model is service-oriented, targeting residential customers in a specific geographic area. The website lacks advanced features or e-commerce capabilities, suggesting a reliance on direct customer contact and local reputation. The absence of contact details and policies online may hinder customer trust and limit growth potential. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident from the site content. The use of standard web technologies indicates moderate digital maturity but also highlights opportunities for modernization and enhanced customer engagement.
Security posture
The website's security posture is weak due to the lack of HTTPS, absence of security headers, and no visible security or incident response policies. The use of third-party analytics without cookie consent mechanisms raises privacy concerns. No forms or input fields were detected to assess secure data handling. The site is vulnerable to interception and manipulation due to unencrypted HTTP traffic. The lack of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR, increasing legal risk. Overall, the security maturity is low, and immediate improvements are necessary to protect user data and enhance trust.
Recommendations
Implement HTTPS across the entire website with a valid SSL/TLS certificate to secure data transmission.
Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, including a consent mechanism to comply with GDPR.
Publish clear contact information including email, phone number, and physical address to improve credibility.
Introduce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
Conduct a security audit to identify and remediate any vulnerabilities, and establish an incident response plan.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses a traditional front-end stack with Bootstrap for responsive design, jQuery for scripting, and Font Awesome for icons. Google Fonts are used for typography. Analytics are implemented via Google Analytics and StatCounter. The site loads resources over HTTP, lacking HTTPS which is a critical security and trust factor. No CMS or backend technology is identifiable from the HTML content. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading, but mobile optimization and accessibility are basic. SEO optimization is minimal, with only a basic title tag and no structured metadata. The site would benefit from modernization including HTTPS adoption, improved accessibility, and SEO enhancements.
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.
