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

Glue Up is a global SaaS provider specializing in all-in-one association management software designed to streamline CRM, membership, event, and community management for associations, chambers, nonprofits, and corporations. The company positions itself as a market leader with over 1,500 customers managing more than 1 million members worldwide. Technically, the website is built on Drupal 10 with a modern tech stack including jQuery, Bootstrap, and multiple marketing and analytics integrations such as HubSpot and Google Tag Manager. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, cookie consent mechanisms, and bot protection via Cloudflare Turnstile, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly disclosed. The WHOIS data is unavailable from the queried source, likely due to privacy protection or registrar differences, but the website's professional presence and trust signals mitigate concerns. Overall, the site demonstrates a mature digital presence with good compliance and security practices.

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

1 finding 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.

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

Glue Up operates in the technology sector providing SaaS solutions tailored for professional communities and associations. Its business model revolves around subscription-based software services with a focus on customer engagement and retention. The company leverages strategic partnerships with industry leaders like NVIDIA and Cvent to enhance its offerings. The target market includes associations, chambers of commerce, nonprofits, and corporate event organizers. The presence of multiple trust indicators such as awards, testimonials, and partner logos supports its strong market position. Growth indicators include continuous product updates and AI integration. The company maintains a global footprint but does not publicly disclose detailed corporate structure or founding year.

Security posture

The website exhibits a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of modern security headers (implied), and bot mitigation via Cloudflare Turnstile captcha. Privacy compliance is evidenced by a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent banner with opt-in/out options. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents gaps in transparency and readiness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The security score is high but could be improved by publishing explicit security documentation and incident response procedures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security frameworks and controls.
  2. Add incident response contact information and establish a vulnerability disclosure program.
  3. Create and link a terms of service page to complete legal compliance.
  4. Ensure all recommended security headers are explicitly set and documented.
  5. Maintain transparency on data retention policies and update privacy compliance statements accordingly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 10 CMS, leveraging a modern front-end stack including jQuery and Bootstrap for responsive design. It integrates multiple third-party marketing and analytics tools such as HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, Ahrefs, and Microsoft Clarity, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. Hosting appears to be behind Cloudflare, providing CDN and security benefits. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. The site uses advanced AI branding and partnerships, reflecting technical innovation. Opportunities exist to optimize loading speed further and reduce reliance on multiple external scripts to minimize attack surface and improve performance.
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.
