Could you add a permission that players are required to have in order to use the /kit command?

You can achieve the same result by (yourself) adding a permission for  all  kits including the autokit (or dont have an autokit) ,

I want to prevent them from opening the kit menu. I know how to set permissions to use the Kits already.

I can't do that because then that affects another plugin that I use. If the author added permissions to use the /kit command, that would be the best option. I use the Welcome Panel plugin from another site, which also has addon modules, including a kit module that uses Kits inside of it's menu so players don't have to type /kit. I want to make it so /kit isn't available so everyone is using the /info menu instead.
