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

Kenyan Nurses And Midwives Association (KENMA-UK) is a professional association dedicated to supporting Kenyan nurses and midwives who have relocated to the United Kingdom. The organization focuses on empowering its members through professional development, advocacy, networking, and well-being initiatives. The website serves as a hub for membership registration, event information, news updates, and resources tailored to the Kenyan nursing diaspora in the UK. The association operates on a membership-based model with multiple tiers including standard, student, retired nurse, pre-registered nurse, and women's health forum memberships. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using Elementor for design and WooCommerce for e-commerce functionality, supplemented by plugins for memberships, donations, and event management. The site is mobile-optimized and performs moderately well, with a clean and professional design. Security measures include HTTPS enforcement and domain transfer protection, though DNSSEC is not enabled and some security headers are missing. No privacy or cookie policies were found, indicating room for improvement in compliance. The security posture is adequate but could be enhanced by enabling DNSSEC, adding security headers, and publishing a security policy or incident response contact. The absence of privacy and cookie policies suggests potential GDPR compliance gaps. Contact information is clearly provided, including a UK physical address, email, and phone number, enhancing business credibility. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional image suitable for its niche audience. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security practices would further strengthen its position and user trust.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

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 · found on this site
  • 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

KENMA-UK occupies a niche market serving Kenyan nursing and midwifery professionals in the UK, leveraging a membership-based non-profit model. Its competitive advantage lies in its focused community support, professional development programs, and advocacy tailored to the Kenyan diaspora. Revenue streams primarily come from membership fees and event participation. The organization targets Kenyan nurses, midwives, nursing associates, specialist community public health nurses, pre-registered nurses, and students transitioning to UK healthcare systems. Growth indicators include active event management and a structured membership offering. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed but includes collaborations implied through event partners and supporters. The website's operations reflect a small but focused organization with a clear mission and vision aligned to healthcare and diaspora support.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and domain transfer protection active. However, the lack of DNSSEC implementation and missing security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options represent gaps that could expose the site to DNS spoofing or clickjacking attacks. No publicly available security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness for security incidents. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure mechanisms or security.txt files. Data protection practices are not explicitly stated, and GDPR compliance indicators are weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. The security culture appears basic, with room for improvement in formalizing policies and enhancing technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to harden the website against common web attacks.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate vulnerabilities and maintain security posture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern WordPress infrastructure using Elementor for page building and WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities. It integrates several plugins for memberships, donations, and event management, indicating a well-structured technical ecosystem. Performance is moderate, with lazy loading and responsive design implemented. The site uses standard web technologies including jQuery and Swiper.js for UI enhancements. Hosting details are not explicit but the domain is registered with NameCheap. Technical debt appears low, but the absence of advanced security headers and DNSSEC suggests some modernization opportunities. Overall, the technical setup supports the business needs effectively but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and privacy compliance improvements.
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.
