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

6 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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

Advancement Form targets the non-profit sector with a SaaS business model focused on fundraising and event management software. Its competitive advantage lies in its specialized platform designed to simplify online giving and event registration, addressing common pain points such as poor constituent experience and complex campaign setup. The company leverages partnerships with scheduling tools like Calendly and integrates popular marketing and analytics platforms to enhance customer engagement and tracking. The business appears small-sized with a focused market presence, supported by client testimonials and a clear value proposition. The lack of public WHOIS data and absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the website may limit direct customer trust and outreach. However, the presence of security and privacy policies, along with a professional website, supports a credible market position.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. It includes dedicated security and privacy policy pages, indicating awareness of security and compliance requirements. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces the overall security posture. The lack of a cookie consent mechanism despite the use of tracking scripts suggests incomplete GDPR compliance. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are provided, which could hinder effective security incident management. Overall, the security maturity is moderate with room for improvement in headers, privacy compliance, and transparency around incident response.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations given the use of tracking technologies.
  3. Publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to improve transparency and facilitate responsible vulnerability reporting.
  4. Provide explicit incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses to support timely security communications.
  5. Consider displaying verified company contact emails and phone numbers on the website to improve business credibility and customer trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern frontend technologies including Tailwind CSS and DaisyUI, ensuring a responsive and visually appealing design. It integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools such as Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, and LinkedIn Insight Tag, enabling effective user tracking and campaign measurement. The site is well-structured with proper meta tags and optimized for mobile devices, contributing to good SEO and user experience. No CMS or hosting provider details are explicitly detected. Performance appears fast with efficient use of CDN-hosted assets. The technical implementation is solid but could benefit from enhanced security headers and improved privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
