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

DoSomething Strategic is a social impact consultancy specializing in engaging Gen Z and purpose-driven growth strategies. The company positions itself as a trusted thought partner with over 30 years of experience in youth engagement, serving notable clients such as Nike, Spotify, and Feeding America. The website is professionally designed using Squarespace, featuring clear navigation and mobile optimization. However, it lacks critical privacy and cookie policies, which impacts its privacy compliance score. The technical infrastructure is modern and includes Google Analytics for user tracking, but security could be enhanced by enabling DNSSEC and HSTS. Overall, the security posture is good but could benefit from improved privacy compliance and security headers. The domain registration is privacy protected but legitimate, consistent with the business profile. Strategic recommendations include implementing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, enabling DNSSEC and HSTS, and publishing security and incident response policies to enhance trust and compliance.

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

8 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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 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 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

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

The company operates in the non-profit sector, focusing on consultancy services that help brands and organizations connect with Gen Z for social impact. Its business model revolves around providing research-driven insights and bespoke strategies for purpose-driven growth. The presence of high-profile clients and testimonials indicates a strong market position and credibility. The company targets future-thinking brands and organizations seeking to engage younger demographics effectively. The website content and client logos suggest a medium-sized operation with a focus on quality and trust. The lack of phone contact may indicate a preference for digital communication channels. The company appears to have a focused niche with potential for growth in the social impact consultancy market.

Security posture

The website uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, but lacks DNSSEC and HSTS, which are recommended for enhanced security. Security headers are minimal, and no explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published. The domain is locked against unauthorized changes, which is a positive security measure. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The use of Google Analytics introduces moderate user tracking without visible cookie consent, which may pose privacy compliance risks. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a consultancy website but could be improved by adopting best practices in security headers, privacy policies, and user consent mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  2. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  3. Configure HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) headers to enforce HTTPS and prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  5. Review and minimize user tracking practices or provide clear opt-in mechanisms to improve privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Squarespace platform, leveraging its CMS capabilities and hosting infrastructure. It uses modern web technologies including Google Fonts and Font Awesome for typography and icons. Google Analytics is integrated for visitor tracking. The site demonstrates good mobile responsiveness and SEO optimization with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Performance is moderate, typical for a Squarespace site with multiple images and scripts. Accessibility features are basic but present. The technical stack is stable and suitable for the business needs, though there is room for improvement in security configurations and privacy 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.
