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

Fundraise Up is a technology company specializing in providing an AI-driven online fundraising platform tailored for nonprofit organizations. Their platform focuses on increasing donation revenue through AI conversion optimization and turnkey payment methods. The company was founded in 2017 and has established itself as an innovative player in the nonprofit fundraising sector. The website reflects a professional and modern digital presence, leveraging React and Gatsby frameworks, and is hosted with Cloudflare DNS services to ensure performance and reliability. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections in place, though there is room for improvement in publishing explicit security policies and enabling DNSSEC. Privacy compliance is currently lacking as no privacy or cookie policies are found, which is a critical area for enhancement. Overall, Fundraise Up presents a credible and trustworthy business with a strong technical foundation but should address compliance and security transparency to further strengthen its position.

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, offering SaaS solutions that leverage AI to optimize online giving. Their business model centers on providing a platform that nonprofits can use to increase donation revenue efficiently. The company targets nonprofit organizations and fundraisers seeking modern, technology-driven fundraising tools. The market positioning is that of an innovative and growth-oriented platform with a focus on AI technology. The website and domain age align well with the company's founding date, indicating consistency and maturity. The company uses HubSpot for marketing and analytics, indicating a structured approach to customer engagement. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are publicly listed, relying instead on contact forms, which is common in SaaS businesses. The partnership ecosystem is not explicitly detailed on the site, and no subsidiary or parent company information is found.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and has domain status protections that prevent unauthorized domain transfers or deletions, which are positive security indicators. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended security enhancement to protect against DNS spoofing. No explicit security headers were detected in the provided data, and there is no published security or incident response policy on the website. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates potential compliance gaps with GDPR and other privacy regulations. The use of HubSpot suggests some level of data collection and tracking, but without explicit disclosures, privacy compliance is weak. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were identified in the analysis. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved by implementing recommended security headers, DNSSEC, and publishing clear security and privacy policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing attacks.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Implement and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan accessible to users.
  4. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to improve browser security.
  5. Provide direct contact information for security incidents, such as a security@ or abuse@ email address, to improve incident response readiness.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using modern web technologies including React and Gatsby, which support fast loading and good SEO optimization. Hosting and DNS are managed via Cloudflare, providing performance and security benefits. The site is mobile-optimized and accessible with good design and navigation clarity. The use of HubSpot indicates integration with marketing and analytics tools, though explicit cookie consent mechanisms are missing. No CMS is explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or static site generated approach. Performance is fast, and the technical implementation is modern and robust. However, the lack of DNSSEC and security headers represents technical risks that should be addressed to enhance overall security posture.
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.
