Kendall Kingscott is a well-established inter-disciplinary construction consultancy based in the UK, with a 60-year history of providing integrated architectural, surveying, project management, and low carbon consultancy services. The company targets clients in sectors such as education, healthcare, residential, commercial, and public sectors, emphasizing a holistic and collaborative approach branded as '1 Team'. The website reflects a mature digital presence with professional design, multimedia content, and clear navigation. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript modules, Google Tag Manager for analytics, and Vimeo for video content, indicating a moderate to advanced digital infrastructure. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and cookie consent mechanisms in place, but lacks explicit security headers and visible incident response policies. The domain WHOIS data is unavailable due to a naming rules violation error from Nominet UK, which is unusual and reduces domain trustworthiness, though the website content and business information appear legitimate and professional. Overall, the site scores well on content quality, technical implementation, and privacy compliance, but domain registration opacity and missing security policies slightly reduce the trust score.

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.
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
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 Strict-Transport-Security header
Forces HTTPS connections
What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"
This scan found 21 issues across 6 checks. Monitoring re-runs those checks daily, emails you when something material changes and records each fix, so you can show progress.

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.

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

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
Business profile
Kendall Kingscott operates in the real estate and construction consultancy sector, leveraging a multi-disciplinary team model to deliver comprehensive project solutions. Their market positioning is that of a medium-sized, reputable consultancy with a strong UK presence and a focus on sustainability and low carbon initiatives. The business model centers on consultancy fees from diverse sectors including education, healthcare, and commercial projects. The company maintains active social media channels and a partnership with a web development agency, indicating a strategic approach to marketing and digital presence. Growth indicators include recent project showcases and news updates. No parent or subsidiary companies were identified, suggesting an independent operation. The company registration number and physical address provide legitimacy and regulatory compliance.
Security posture
The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options represents a gap in best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which could improve trust and incident handling. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a consultancy website but could be enhanced with additional headers and explicit security documentation.
Recommendations
Implement and configure security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and preparedness.
Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to ensure no vulnerable libraries are included.
Enhance domain registration transparency by resolving WHOIS issues or using a properly registered domain to improve trustworthiness.

Technical notes
Notes
The website uses modern web technologies including ES modules, Google Tag Manager for analytics, Vimeo for video hosting, and Flickity for carousel functionality. Google Fonts are used for typography. The site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features such as skip navigation links and ARIA roles. Performance is moderate with lazy loading of images and optimized media delivery. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site build. The site lacks explicit hosting provider information. SEO is well addressed with meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. Cookie consent is implemented with a third-party library. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and clearer hosting information.
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.
