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

Members Village is a Canadian-based software provider specializing in association management solutions. Their platform offers a comprehensive suite of integrated applications including CRM, website building, payment processing, event management, and email marketing tailored for associations and nonprofits. The company positions itself as a niche SaaS provider focused on simplifying and enhancing association operations with modern, user-friendly tools. Technically, the website employs a modern tech stack with Bootstrap 5, jQuery, and Google services integration, delivering a good user experience with mobile optimization and clear navigation. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS and bot protection via reCAPTCHA, but lacks advanced security headers and published security policies. Privacy compliance is partial, with privacy and terms pages present but no cookie consent mechanism detected. WHOIS data is transparent and consistent with the business claims, supporting legitimacy. Overall, the website is professional, trustworthy, and well-positioned in its market niche.

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

9 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

  3. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

The company targets associations and nonprofits seeking integrated management software solutions. Their business model is SaaS-based, generating revenue through subscription services and payment processing partnerships. The platform's key competitive advantages include a broad app ecosystem, ease of use, and compliance with Canadian privacy laws (PIPEDA). Partnerships with payment processors like Elavon and a local web development firm enhance their service offering and credibility. The company appears small but focused, with steady domain age and consistent branding. Growth indicators include regular content updates and educational sessions (MV Insights). Strategic observations suggest opportunities to strengthen security transparency and privacy compliance to build further trust.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level. HTTPS is enforced, and domain transfer protections are in place. Use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 helps mitigate automated abuse. However, the absence of DNSSEC, security headers (CSP, HSTS), and a published security policy or incident response contact reduces overall security robustness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. Compliance with PIPEDA is claimed but not fully evidenced by cookie consent mechanisms. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly visible. Enhancing these areas would improve resilience and trustworthiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement and publish security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to harden the website against common attacks.
  3. Add a cookie consent banner/mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user transparency.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to demonstrate security maturity and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and dependencies to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern and stable technology stack including Bootstrap 5 for responsive design, jQuery for DOM manipulation, and various specialized libraries like TinyMCE and Selectize.js for enhanced user interface components. Google services such as Tag Manager and reCAPTCHA are integrated for analytics and security. The CMS appears custom-built, providing flexibility but requiring ongoing maintenance. Hosting is managed via Rebel Ltd, consistent with WHOIS data. Performance is moderate with no major issues detected. Mobile optimization is good, ensuring accessibility across devices. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data (JSON-LD). Opportunities exist to improve accessibility features and implement advanced security headers to reduce technical risks.
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.
