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

FlipGive, Inc. operates a cashback fundraising platform that enables teams and community groups to raise funds by earning cashback rewards from everyday shopping at over 800 partner brands. The company positions itself as a modern alternative to traditional fundraising methods, leveraging technology to simplify and amplify fundraising efforts. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and reCAPTCHA protections, although there is room for improvement in publishing explicit security policies and incident response contacts. The absence of WHOIS data is a notable anomaly but does not detract significantly from the overall trustworthiness given the strong business presence and certifications.

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

2 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

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-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.

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

FlipGive targets community groups, sports teams, and non-profits seeking efficient fundraising solutions. Its business model is based on sharing commissions from partner brands as cashback rewards to teams, creating a win-win for shoppers and fundraisers. The company has established a significant market presence with over $50 million given back and a large member base. Partnerships with hundreds of brands and integration with platforms like HubSpot and Webflow indicate a scalable and modern operational approach. The presence of certifications such as BBB accreditation and B Corporation status enhances credibility. FlipGive's ecosystem includes related domains for grants and authentication, supporting a comprehensive service offering.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and implements key security headers, contributing to a robust security baseline. Use of Google reCAPTCHA on forms mitigates automated abuse risks. No sensitive data is exposed in the HTML content. However, the lack of a dedicated security policy page and absence of incident response contact information represent gaps in transparency and preparedness. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file was found, limiting external reporting channels. Overall, the security posture is good but could be enhanced by formalizing security governance documentation and communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to facilitate reporting and response.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Add data protection officer contact details if applicable to improve GDPR compliance transparency.
  5. Regularly review and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and integrating multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and HubSpot. The hosting is provided by Webflow, ensuring good performance and scalability. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical implementation is modern and well-maintained, though reliance on multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security vigilance.
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.
