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 with a focus on software solutions for non-profit and professional community management. Its SaaS business model leverages subscription revenues and targets organizations such as associations, chambers, and corporations requiring integrated event and membership management. The company demonstrates competitive advantages through comprehensive product offerings, AI integration, and strategic partnerships. Growth indicators include a large customer base and global reach. The partnership ecosystem with NVIDIA and Cvent supports innovation and market expansion. The company’s operations reflect a strong emphasis on customer engagement, product updates, and industry recognition, positioning it well for continued growth.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and domain status flags that prevent unauthorized domain changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended enhancement for DNS security. Security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options are not explicitly detected and should be implemented to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. No incident response contacts or security.txt files are published, which could improve transparency and readiness. The use of multiple third-party analytics and marketing scripts increases the attack surface but appears managed. Overall, the security posture is good but can be strengthened with additional controls and disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and verify Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options headers to protect against common web attacks.
  3. Publish an incident response contact or security.txt file to improve transparency and facilitate vulnerability reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize security risks and ensure privacy compliance.
  5. Continue enhancing privacy compliance measures, including clear data retention policies and user rights disclosures.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 11 CMS, leveraging jQuery, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome for frontend UI components. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools including HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, and Visual Website Optimizer, indicating a sophisticated digital marketing infrastructure. Hosting and DNS are managed via GoDaddy and Cloudflare respectively, providing reliable domain management and DNS performance. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and good accessibility features. Performance is moderate, likely influenced by multiple external scripts. Technical debt appears low with modern frameworks and libraries in use. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and DNS security to reduce technical risks impacting business operations.
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.
