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

Dingle Oy is a pioneering Finnish social media agency established in 2009, specializing in social media strategy, content creation, advertising, and data analytics to help businesses grow. The company positions itself as the first and leading social media agency in Finland, offering comprehensive digital marketing services under one roof. Their website reflects a professional and consistent brand image, targeting businesses seeking expert social media marketing solutions. Technically, the website is built on Squarespace, leveraging modern tools such as Google Tag Manager and Piwik PRO for analytics, and employs HTTPS with HSTS for secure communications. However, the site lacks explicit privacy and terms of service pages, which are important for compliance and user trust. Security posture is strong with no visible vulnerabilities, but incident response contact information is missing. Overall, the website is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and trustworthy, with moderate user tracking balanced by a cookie consent mechanism.

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. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

    • 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

  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 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';…

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

Dingle operates in the media sector, focusing on social media marketing services for Finnish businesses. Their competitive advantage lies in their early market entry and comprehensive service offering, including strategy, creative content, and data-driven measurement. The business model is service-based, generating revenue through client engagements. The target customers are companies looking to enhance their digital presence and social media effectiveness. The website showcases client references and case studies, indicating a healthy partnership ecosystem. Growth indicators include a modern digital presence and active social media channels. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance compliance documentation and incident response readiness to strengthen market trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and HSTS enabled, protecting data in transit. Security headers are present, and no sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. The use of reputable analytics and marketing tools with consent management indicates awareness of privacy concerns. However, the absence of a published privacy policy and incident response contacts represents compliance gaps, particularly under GDPR and NIS2 frameworks. No vulnerabilities or malicious indicators were detected. The security culture appears professional but could benefit from formalizing vulnerability disclosure and incident response processes.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy page detailing data processing and user rights.
  2. Add a terms of service page to clarify user agreements and liabilities.
  3. Implement a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security incidents and abuse reporting.
  5. Enhance website accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, utilizing its CDN and platform features for performance and reliability. It integrates modern web technologies including asynchronous JavaScript loading, Typekit fonts, and video embedding from YouTube. Analytics are managed via Piwik PRO and Google Tag Manager, with consent mechanisms in place. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization in image loading and script management. Technical risks are minimal, but reliance on third-party services necessitates ongoing monitoring for privacy and security compliance.
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.
