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

Fundraise Up is a technology-driven nonprofit online fundraising platform founded in 2017. It leverages AI to optimize donation conversion rates and provides turnkey payment methods to nonprofits aiming to increase their donation revenue. The company positions itself as an innovative leader in the online giving space, targeting nonprofit organizations and fundraisers. The website is professionally designed, mobile optimized, and built using modern web technologies such as React and Gatsby, hosted with Cloudflare DNS services. Security posture is good with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections in place, but lacks visible security policies, privacy and cookie policies, and incident response information. Contact information is primarily via web forms, with no explicit emails or phone numbers published. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional but could improve privacy compliance and security transparency.

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

4 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
    • 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

Fundraise Up operates in the nonprofit sector, providing SaaS solutions for online fundraising. Its competitive advantage lies in AI-powered conversion optimization and seamless payment integrations. The business model is subscription or usage-based SaaS targeting nonprofits seeking to maximize online donations. The company appears medium-sized with a consistent brand and clear market positioning. The website content and metadata emphasize innovation and ease of use. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed on the site. Growth indicators include a modern tech stack and active social media presence. Strategic observations suggest opportunities to enhance trust by publishing privacy, cookie, and security policies and expanding contact channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and domain registrar protections such as clientDeleteProhibited status. However, it lacks published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms. No security headers were detected in the provided data, and DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended improvement. The absence of privacy and cookie policies with consent mechanisms indicates compliance gaps, particularly regarding GDPR. The site uses secure forms but does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries visibly. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be strengthened by adopting best practices in security transparency and DNS security.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies including GDPR compliance and consent mechanisms.
  3. Add a dedicated security policy page and incident response contact information (e.g., security@ or abuse@ email).
  4. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to improve browser security.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with React and Gatsby, indicating a modern, performant static site generation approach. Hosting uses Cloudflare DNS, which provides resilience and performance benefits. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with good SEO metadata including Open Graph tags. No CMS other than Gatsby was detected. Performance is likely fast due to static generation and CDN usage. Technical debt appears low, but the lack of DNSSEC and security headers suggests room for modernization in security infrastructure. The site uses HubSpot forms for contact, indicating integration with marketing automation tools. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid with opportunities to enhance security and privacy features.
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.
