GiveGreen is a non-profit platform dedicated to mobilizing climate-conscious donors to support pro-environment political candidates across the United States. The website offers a candidate directory, donation processing, and impact reporting to facilitate climate-focused political fundraising. The platform targets environmentally aware individuals seeking to influence elections and climate policy through financial contributions. Technically, the website employs modern JavaScript frameworks such as Alpine.js, integrates with Google Analytics and Tag Manager for tracking, and uses Algolia for search functionality. The site is built on Craft CMS and demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS, uses CSRF tokens in forms, and includes standard security headers, reflecting a solid security posture. However, the absence of visible privacy, cookie, and terms of service policies, as well as missing contact information and WHOIS data, reduces overall trust and compliance scores. The domain's registration status is unclear due to lack of WHOIS data, which warrants further verification. Overall, GiveGreen presents as a professional and trustworthy platform with room for improvement in privacy compliance and 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. 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 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 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

  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

GiveGreen occupies a niche market in climate-focused political fundraising, leveraging a community of over 50,000 donors to support candidates aligned with environmental priorities. Its business model centers on facilitating donations to political campaigns, providing strategic insights and impact metrics to donors. The platform's competitive advantage lies in its specialized focus on climate issues and its integration of technology to streamline donor engagement. Revenue streams likely include transaction fees or donations processed through the platform. The target customer segment is environmentally conscious voters and donors interested in political impact. Growth indicators include the volume of funds raised and the number of supported candidates winning elections. The platform integrates with recognized payment gateways and analytics services, indicating a mature partnership ecosystem. Strategic observations suggest the need to enhance transparency around privacy and security policies to strengthen donor trust and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, use of security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, and CSRF protection in forms. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of published security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap. The absence of a security.txt file or dedicated security contact channels limits incident response readiness and transparency. GDPR compliance indicators are weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the security culture appears technically sound but could benefit from enhanced documentation and user-facing security assurances to align with best practices and regulatory requirements.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  2. Add clear contact information including security and general inquiry emails and phone numbers to enhance trust and communication.
  3. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting and incident management.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and analytics tools to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to ensure domain legitimacy and reduce suspicion.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Craft CMS and utilizes modern JavaScript frameworks such as Alpine.js for interactivity. It integrates with Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking user behavior and Algolia for search functionality. The site uses ES modules and modulepreload for efficient script loading. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags including Open Graph and Twitter cards. The site employs CSRF tokens in forms, indicating secure form handling. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security monitoring. The absence of visible privacy and cookie policies is a technical and compliance shortfall. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern and well-implemented with opportunities for enhanced transparency and compliance.
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.
