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

Bloomerang operates as a leading provider of cloud-based donor management and fundraising software tailored for nonprofit organizations. The company offers a comprehensive suite of tools including donor CRM, fundraising, and volunteer management solutions, positioning itself as a trusted partner to over 26,000 nonprofits. Their market presence is reinforced by multiple industry awards and strong customer testimonials, reflecting a mature and well-established business model focused on SaaS delivery. Technically, the website is built on WordPress and leverages a modern technology stack including Yoast SEO, Google Tag Manager, and various marketing and analytics integrations such as Marketo and Microsoft Clarity. Hosting is provided via WP Engine with Cloudflare CDN, ensuring good infrastructure support. The site demonstrates excellent design quality, mobile optimization, and SEO practices, contributing to a positive user experience and strong digital maturity. From a security perspective, the site currently lacks a valid SSL certificate and does not support modern TLS protocols, which significantly undermines its security posture. While some security headers are present, critical improvements are needed to secure data transmission and protect user privacy. Privacy and cookie policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, indicating attention to regulatory requirements. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing business credibility. Overall, Bloomerang's website reflects a professional and trustworthy nonprofit software provider with strong business credibility and digital presence. However, the absence of HTTPS and modern encryption protocols presents a critical security risk that should be addressed promptly to protect users and maintain trust.

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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

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

Bloomerang targets nonprofit organizations seeking to improve donor engagement and fundraising effectiveness through integrated CRM and volunteer management software. Their SaaS business model enables scalable delivery of cloud-based solutions, supported by a robust marketing ecosystem including lead generation and customer engagement tools.

Growth indicators include extensive use of marketing automation and analytics, as well as active content marketing and educational resources. The company demonstrates a clear focus on customer success and market leadership within the nonprofit technology sector.

Security posture

The current security posture of the website is weak due to the lack of a valid SSL certificate and absence of HTTPS, exposing users to potential data interception risks. No modern TLS protocols are enabled, and critical security headers such as HSTS are missing. While the site uses Cloudflare CDN and sets some security headers like X-Frame-Options, these measures are insufficient without proper encryption. There is no evidence of vulnerability disclosure policies or incident response contacts, which limits transparency and preparedness. Privacy policies are well-defined and GDPR compliant, indicating good data protection practices. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues is essential to elevate security maturity and protect sensitive donor and user data.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Enable TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols and disable outdated protocols to secure data in transit.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  4. Add and enhance security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Referrer-Policy.
  5. Establish and publish a vulnerability disclosure policy and incident response contact information.
  6. Conduct regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  7. Maintain transparency with users regarding data protection and security practices to build trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS hosted on WP Engine with Cloudflare CDN providing performance and security benefits. The tech stack includes modern JavaScript libraries like jQuery and Slick Carousel, SEO optimization via Yoast SEO Premium, and integration with multiple marketing and analytics platforms such as Marketo, Microsoft Clarity, and Trustpilot. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO metadata and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. Performance metrics were not available, but the use of CDN and lazy loading suggests moderate to good performance. Technical debt appears low, but the lack of SSL/TLS is a significant risk. Opportunities exist to modernize security configurations and improve performance monitoring.
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.
