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

Bonterra LLC operates the Network for Good fundraising software platform, targeting small to medium-sized nonprofits and social good organizations. The company is positioned as a leading provider in the nonprofit software market, offering a comprehensive suite of fundraising, donor management, volunteer management, and coaching services. Bonterra has grown through acquisitions and integration of multiple social good software brands, establishing itself as the second-largest social good software company globally. The website content is professionally designed, well-structured, and rich in relevant information, supporting a strong market presence and user engagement. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including React and WordPress, hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure, but suffers from a critical lack of valid SSL/TLS certificates, resulting in no HTTPS support on the scanned domain. This significantly impacts the security posture and user trust. Privacy and cookie policies are present and comprehensive, indicating good compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. Overall, the site demonstrates strong business credibility and digital maturity but requires urgent improvements in security configuration to protect user data and enhance 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

3 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  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

Bonterra's market positioning leverages its portfolio of social good software solutions, including Network for Good, EveryAction, CyberGrants, and others, targeting nonprofits, foundations, corporations, and government sectors. The business model is SaaS-based with revenue from software subscriptions, support packages, and coaching services. The company emphasizes ease of use, integrated coaching, and comprehensive fundraising tools to differentiate itself. Partnerships and acquisitions expand its ecosystem and customer base. The website reflects a mature digital marketing strategy with extensive resources, case studies, and educational content to support customer acquisition and retention. The presence of multiple login portals for different products indicates a broad product suite and customer segmentation. Bonterra's growth indicators include industry awards and trust signals from G2 and TrustRadius. The company operates primarily in the United States with a large organizational size and a strong brand identity.

Security posture

The current security posture is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and lack of HTTPS support on the scanned domain, which is a critical vulnerability affecting confidentiality and integrity of data in transit. No modern TLS protocols are enabled, and security headers such as HSTS are missing. While SPF and DMARC records are correctly configured for email security, the lack of HTTPS undermines overall security. No explicit security policy, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure information is found on the site. Privacy policies are comprehensive, but technical security controls need urgent enhancement. The site does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the HTML content. Forms are standard search forms without sensitive data collection visible. Incident response readiness and security culture indicators are not publicly documented. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS and HTTPS is recommended to mitigate risks and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across all domains.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated protocols.
  3. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload flags.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling to improve certificate revocation checking performance.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  6. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and remediate risks.
  7. Enhance transparency around data protection officer contact and GDPR compliance details.
  8. Maintain up-to-date third-party libraries and frameworks to avoid vulnerabilities.
  9. Improve user trust by displaying security certifications and compliance badges where applicable.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with React and Bootstrap frameworks, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as GSAP and Splide.js for UI animations and sliders. Hosting is via Amazon AWS DNS infrastructure. The site uses multiple external services including Marketo for marketing automation, Google Tag Manager and Analytics for tracking, and Typekit for fonts. Performance is slow with a load time of over 20 seconds and a large page size (~1.2MB) with 364 resources, indicating potential optimization opportunities. Accessibility features such as screen reader text and keyboard navigation are implemented, and SEO is enhanced with Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) for FAQs and breadcrumbs. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design. However, the lack of HTTPS and SSL certificate is a major technical risk. The DNS configuration is solid with no subdomain takeover vulnerabilities and valid SPF and DMARC records. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires security hardening and performance tuning.
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.
