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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1

  2. 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

  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

Click & Pledge operates in the nonprofit technology sector, offering fundraising software solutions that cater to a wide range of nonprofit organizations. Their business model is subscription-based SaaS, providing various fundraising tools integrated into a single platform. The company leverages partnerships and integrations, notably with Salesforce, to enhance its offerings. Their target customers include nonprofits seeking to optimize donation collection and donor engagement through multiple channels such as online forms, text messaging, and peer-to-peer campaigns. The company has a mature market presence with 25 years of operation, indicating stability and experience. Their marketing ecosystem includes HubSpot and social media platforms, supporting lead generation and customer engagement. The absence of privacy protection in WHOIS and the use of AWS hosting reflect transparency and professional infrastructure choices.

Security posture

The security posture of Click & Pledge is solid with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to mitigate automated abuse. The website does not expose sensitive information in its HTML content, and no vulnerable or outdated libraries were detected in the provided source. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options suggests room for improvement in defense-in-depth. No dedicated incident response or abuse contact emails were found, which could be a gap in security readiness. The WHOIS data shows no privacy protection, which aligns with transparency but requires vigilance against domain hijacking. Overall, the site demonstrates good security hygiene but could benefit from enhanced header policies and formal vulnerability disclosure mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a security.txt file or dedicated vulnerability disclosure page to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to comply with WCAG standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  4. Regularly audit and update all WordPress plugins and themes to mitigate risks from known vulnerabilities.
  5. Consider adding explicit incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a mature and widely used CMS platform, WordPress, utilizing the Avada theme and several popular plugins such as Slider Revolution and Yoast SEO. The technology stack includes jQuery and modern JavaScript libraries, with integrations for analytics and marketing via HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, and Facebook SDK. Hosting is managed through Amazon AWS, providing scalability and reliability. Performance is moderate, with good mobile optimization and SEO practices in place. The site uses HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate, ensuring secure communications. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in security headers and accessibility could modernize the infrastructure further. The presence of multiple external scripts requires 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.
