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

Eventgroove is a medium-sized technology company specializing in providing an all-in-one online fundraising platform tailored for nonprofits. Their platform supports various fundraising methods including peer-to-peer campaigns, auctions, raffles, and crowdfunding, with a strong emphasis on ease of use and customer support. The company positions itself as a cost-effective solution with no hidden fees, appealing to small and large nonprofits alike. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and rich in content, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and enhanced with NitroPack for performance optimization. It integrates modern web technologies and third-party services such as Vimeo for video content and HubSpot for marketing and analytics. The site demonstrates good SEO and accessibility practices, with fast loading times and responsive design. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs standard security headers, contributing to a strong security posture. However, it lacks a publicly available security policy and incident response information, which are recommended for enhanced transparency and trust. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. Overall, the website presents a trustworthy and professional image with comprehensive privacy and cookie policies. The absence of WHOIS registration data is a notable concern, suggesting the need for further verification of domain legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include publishing security policies, adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, and improving incident response visibility to strengthen security and compliance posture.

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. 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
    • 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';…

  2. 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

  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

Eventgroove operates in the nonprofit fundraising sector, offering a SaaS platform that integrates event ticketing, online fundraising, and ecommerce storefronts. Their business model relies on a no-fee setup with optional donor tipping and capped auction fees, aligning incentives with client success. The company targets nonprofit organizations and fundraising event organizers, providing scalable solutions for both small and large entities. Their market position is strengthened by user-friendly design, comprehensive features, and strong customer support based in Montana. The company maintains an active social media presence and multiple service portals, indicating a well-developed partnership and service ecosystem. Growth indicators include diversified fundraising tools and integration with ecommerce and event management services.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforcement and multiple security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. Embedded third-party content is sandboxed appropriately, and no sensitive information is exposed in the HTML source. However, the absence of a published security policy and incident response contact details limits transparency and preparedness perception. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure programs or security.txt files, which are best practices for mature security postures. The use of reputable third-party services and content delivery networks further enhances security and performance. Overall, the security posture is good but could be improved with formalized policies and incident response mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a comprehensive security policy page detailing security practices and commitments.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information including dedicated security or abuse email addresses.
  4. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet or exceed WCAG standards for broader user inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages WordPress CMS with the Divi theme, enhanced by NitroPack for caching and performance optimization. It uses modern web fonts, lazy loading, and responsive design techniques to ensure fast and mobile-friendly user experiences. Integration with HubSpot and Google Tag Manager supports marketing automation and analytics. Video content is embedded via Vimeo with privacy-conscious settings. The site employs DNS prefetching and resource preloading to improve load times. No deprecated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the source. The technical infrastructure reflects a well-maintained and modern web presence suitable for a medium-sized SaaS provider.
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.
