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

The Kitchen Doctor Limited is a UK-based specialist retailer and service provider focused on made to measure kitchen replacement parts and bespoke kitchen fitting services. With over 40 years of experience, the company targets homeowners, insurance companies, and building contractors requiring kitchen refurbishment and repair solutions. Their offerings include kitchen doors, drawers, worktops, bespoke joinery, and related accessories. The website is professionally designed using WordPress, featuring clear navigation, responsive design, and SEO optimization. It integrates Google Analytics and reCAPTCHA for user tracking and security. Privacy and cookie policies are present with consent mechanisms, indicating good compliance with GDPR. However, the absence of WHOIS registration data raises some concerns about domain legitimacy, though the website content and contact details support a trustworthy business presence. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and basic protections but lacks published security policies and incident response contacts. Overall, the site presents a credible and professional business front with room for improvement in security transparency and domain registration clarity.

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

7 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

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)

      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

  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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

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

The Kitchen Doctor operates in the retail sector specializing in kitchen refurbishment components and services. Their market position is that of an established niche player with a strong reputation for bespoke solutions and insurance-related kitchen repairs. The business model combines product sales with fitting and improvement services, targeting both end consumers and commercial clients. The company leverages digital channels including a blog and social media to engage customers. Revenue streams likely include direct sales, fitting services, and insurance contractor partnerships. The company maintains a consistent brand identity and provides comprehensive contact information, enhancing customer trust. Growth indicators include recent blog posts and active social media presence. No direct partnerships or subsidiaries were identified from the website content.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and Google reCAPTCHA protecting forms. Cookie consent mechanisms indicate awareness of privacy regulations. However, the lack of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and absence of a published security policy or incident response contacts are gaps that reduce overall security posture. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The site uses standard WordPress plugins which require regular updates to mitigate risks. Compliance with GDPR is supported by privacy and cookie policies but could be enhanced with clearer data retention and incident response information. Overall, the security posture is functional but could benefit from formalized policies and technical hardening.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve protection against common web attacks.
  3. Verify and update WHOIS registration data to ensure domain legitimacy and transparency.
  4. Regularly update WordPress core, themes, and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance privacy policy with detailed data retention and user rights information to strengthen GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS using a custom theme 'cruz' and includes common plugins such as Contact Form 7 and Cookie Law Info for forms and cookie management. It uses jQuery and Google services including Analytics and reCAPTCHA. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Performance is moderate with multiple image sliders and scripts but no major delays detected. Accessibility is basic with some screen reader text and semantic HTML. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The technical stack is standard for small to medium business websites, offering ease of maintenance but requiring attention to security best practices and performance optimization.
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.
