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

CrowdChange is a professional fundraising software provider focused on delivering advanced technology solutions to nonprofits, fraternities, sororities, academic institutions, and athletic programs. Their platform offers a comprehensive suite of fundraising tools including peer-to-peer campaigns, event ticketing, online donations, and integrations with third-party payment and donation services. Positioned as a market leader in North America, CrowdChange emphasizes customer support and ease of campaign setup to maximize fundraising success. Technically, the website is built on the Duda platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as service workers for offline support, and integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and ZoomInfo Pixel. The site is mobile optimized with good SEO and accessibility basics, though some security headers could be improved. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses secure forms with CAPTCHA, but lacks visible security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. The absence of a cookie consent banner may pose privacy compliance risks. WHOIS data is unavailable due to privacy protection, which is common but reduces transparency. Overall, CrowdChange presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with strong business credibility and technical maturity. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security headers would enhance their security posture and regulatory adherence.

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. 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

  2. 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

CrowdChange operates in the fundraising technology sector, targeting nonprofits and related organizations with a SaaS model. Their competitive advantage lies in an award-winning platform that simplifies fundraising through intuitive tools and personalized support. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees and service charges for campaign setup and integrations. The company maintains active social media engagement and uses multiple marketing and analytics tools to drive growth. The platform's ease of use and comprehensive features position it well in a competitive market. No parent or subsidiary relationships were identified. The company emphasizes customer success and continuous product iteration based on client feedback.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with mandatory HTTPS and secure form handling including CAPTCHA. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options indicates room for improvement. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The absence of a published incident response policy or security contact reduces transparency and readiness for security incidents. Privacy compliance is partial due to missing cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but could be enhanced to meet higher compliance standards such as GDPR and NIS2.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web attacks.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to improve privacy compliance and user transparency.
  3. Publish an incident response plan or security contact page to enhance trust and readiness for security events.
  4. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and tracking pixels to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Duda platform, utilizing modern web technologies such as service workers for offline capabilities and parallax scrolling with Skrollr.js. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and ZoomInfo Pixel. The site uses Cloudfront CDN for content delivery, enhancing performance. The design is responsive and mobile optimized with good SEO practices including meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external scripts. The technical infrastructure supports a professional and scalable fundraising platform.
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.
