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 positions itself as a global leader in engagement platforms for professional communities, serving over 1,500 customers and managing more than 1 million members. Their SaaS business model focuses on recurring revenue through software subscriptions for membership, event, and community management. The company leverages strategic partnerships with NVIDIA, Cvent, and ASAE to enhance its AI capabilities and market reach. The platform supports integrations with popular financial and communication tools like Stripe, QuickBooks, Xero, Zoom, and Sage, indicating a comprehensive ecosystem approach. Growth indicators include frequent product updates, multi-language support, and a broad target audience spanning various sectors including nonprofits, chambers, corporations, and training organizations.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS with a valid SSL certificate and domain status protections that prevent unauthorized domain changes. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which is a recommended best practice to prevent DNS spoofing. No security headers such as Content Security Policy or HSTS were detected, which could enhance protection against common web attacks. The site uses multiple third-party scripts and tracking pixels, which require careful privacy management. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response contact information, which limits transparency. Overall, the security posture is moderate with room for improvement in domain security and header implementation.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen domain name system security and prevent DNS spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive security headers including CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish clear privacy and cookie policies detailing GDPR compliance and data handling practices.
  4. Provide explicit security policy and incident response contact channels (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Regularly audit and minimize third-party tracking scripts to enhance user privacy and reduce attack surface.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Drupal 11 CMS, leveraging Bootstrap for responsive design and FontAwesome for icons. It integrates multiple marketing and analytics platforms such as HubSpot, Google Tag Manager, Microsoft Clarity, and Visual Website Optimizer, indicating a mature digital marketing strategy. Hosting and DNS are managed via reputable providers including GoDaddy and Cloudflare. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and SEO practices. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. The site uses modern JavaScript libraries and asynchronous script loading to optimize user experience. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which may impact privacy and security if not properly managed.
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.
