Security report for donationalerts.com
Zaya Solutions Limited · Technology · N/a
Medium risk. 6 critical or high findings in GDPR outside view, Email security and 1 other check.
DonationAlerts is a professional platform providing streamers with interactive tools to monetize and engage their audiences through donations, subscriptions, polls, and media sharing. The platform integrates with major streaming services such as Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook, positioning itself as a key player in the streaming ecosystem with millions of users and alerts processed. The website is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and offers comprehensive legal and privacy documentation, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site employs modern JavaScript libraries including Vue.js and jQuery, and integrates multiple analytics and tracking services such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. While the site uses HTTPS and secure authentication methods, it lacks explicit security headers and publicly available security policies, which are areas for improvement. The absence of WHOIS data limits the ability to fully verify domain registration legitimacy, though the business branding and content quality suggest a legitimate operation. Security posture is generally strong with encrypted connections and no visible vulnerabilities, but the lack of incident response information and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms could pose risks. Privacy compliance is supported by clear privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms, though contact information for security or data protection officers is not found. Overall, DonationAlerts presents a trustworthy and professional service for streamers, but should enhance transparency around security policies and domain registration details to strengthen 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
6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
GDPR outside view
These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.
- 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
- GDPR Art. 7
- ePrivacy Art. 5(3)
- NIST PT-4: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 PT-4: Consent
- High
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.
- High
Weak DKIM Key
DKIM selector 'default' uses 168-bit key
What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA keys for DKIM
- High
Weak DKIM Key
DKIM selector 'dkim' uses 104-bit key
What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA keys for DKIM
- High
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
- RFC 8996
- RFC 7568
- Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: tls_versions TLSv1.2, TLSv1.3
- NIS2 21(2)(h)
- IR 2024/2690 9.2(b): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(b): Cryptography
- NIST SC-8(1): NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-8(1): Cryptographic Protection
- High
SSL Certificate Expires Soon
SSL certificate expires in 10 days
What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration
- NIS2 21(2)(h)
- IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
- NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates
- High
Weak SSL Key Length
SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak
What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key
- CWE-326
- OWASP A04:2025
- Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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.
Counted in this score
- SSL/TLS
- 42
- Security headers
- 75
- Email security
- 65
- DNS health

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.

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.
