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

DICE Studios is a Swedish-based game development company with a professional online presence hosted on the Squarespace platform. The website focuses on showcasing the company's identity, career opportunities, games, and playtesting activities, targeting gamers and industry professionals. The technical infrastructure leverages modern web technologies including HTTPS, HSTS, and popular font services, ensuring a secure and visually appealing user experience. However, the site lacks explicit privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, which are critical for compliance and user trust. Security posture is strong in terms of transport security but could be enhanced with additional HTTP headers and incident response contact information. Overall, the website is legitimate and professionally maintained but would benefit from improved privacy compliance and transparency.

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

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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 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';…

  2. 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

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

  3. 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

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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
  • 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

DICE Studios operates in the technology sector specializing in game development. The business model includes game creation, community engagement through playtesting, and recruitment for career growth. The company maintains active social media channels on LinkedIn, Instagram, and X, supporting brand visibility and user engagement. The website's content and structure indicate a medium-sized enterprise with a consistent brand identity. Absence of detailed business registration or VAT information limits deeper business intelligence. The company appears well-positioned in the gaming industry with a focus on quality and user involvement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, protecting data in transit. No security headers beyond HSTS were detected, suggesting room for improvement in defense-in-depth strategies. No forms or data collection points were found on the homepage, reducing attack surface. The lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates a gap in security transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or suspicious scripts were identified. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by adopting comprehensive security headers, privacy policies, and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to ensure GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Content-Type-Options, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen security posture.
  3. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and general inquiries to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Enhance website accessibility by adding ARIA attributes and improving semantic HTML structure.
  5. Improve SEO by enriching meta descriptions, keywords, and structured data for better search engine visibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including JavaScript, CSS3, and web fonts from Typekit and Google Fonts. It integrates YouTube iframe API for video content and uses CDN services for static assets, ensuring moderate performance and good mobile optimization. The site employs HTTPS with HSTS, indicating a secure transport layer. However, the absence of additional security headers and limited metadata suggests opportunities for technical enhancements. The site structure is clean with clear navigation, but lacks forms or interactive elements on the homepage. Overall, the technical implementation is solid but could benefit from modernization in security and SEO practices.
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.
