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

Bonterra LLC operates Network for Good, a leading fundraising software platform tailored for small to medium-sized nonprofits. The company has a strong market position as the second-largest social good software provider globally, offering a comprehensive suite of tools including donor and volunteer management, peer-to-peer fundraising, and coaching services. Bonterra's business model focuses on SaaS solutions for nonprofit organizations, foundations, corporations, and government entities, supported by a robust ecosystem of subsidiaries and partner products. The website content is professionally crafted, targeting nonprofit organizations seeking efficient fundraising and engagement solutions. Technically, the website is built on WordPress hosted on WP Engine with Cloudflare CDN, utilizing modern JavaScript frameworks like React and libraries such as GSAP and Splide.js for UI enhancements. SEO and accessibility are well implemented, with extensive use of structured data and meta tags. However, performance metrics are not explicitly provided, though mobile optimization and user experience appear strong. From a security perspective, while the site employs several security headers and policies, it suffers from a critical issue: the SSL certificate is invalid or missing, and no modern TLS protocols are enabled. This severely impacts the security posture and user trust. Other security best practices like CSP and permissions policies are in place, but the lack of proper SSL/TLS undermines these efforts. Overall, the site is content-rich, professionally designed, and business credible but requires urgent remediation of SSL/TLS issues to ensure secure user interactions and compliance with modern security standards.

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 LLC has strategically positioned itself as a major player in the nonprofit software market by acquiring and integrating several specialized platforms such as EveryAction, CyberGrants, GiveGab, and Mobilize. This consolidation allows Bonterra to offer a broad range of fundraising and engagement tools tailored to diverse nonprofit needs. The company targets small to medium nonprofits primarily but also serves foundations, corporations, and government sectors. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for SaaS products, professional services like coaching and onboarding, and support packages. The partnership ecosystem includes technology providers and payment processors, enhancing the platform's capabilities. Growth indicators include recent acquisitions and a strong presence on industry review platforms like G2 and TrustRadius. The company maintains active social media channels and provides extensive educational resources, reinforcing its market leadership and customer engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with several positive indicators such as a comprehensive Content Security Policy, strict referrer and permissions policies, and XSS protection headers. However, the critical absence of a valid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols represent significant vulnerabilities that expose users to risks such as data interception and man-in-the-middle attacks. The lack of OCSP stapling and incomplete HSTS implementation further weaken the security posture. No explicit security policy or incident response information is publicly available, which may impact transparency and trust. The site does not expose sensitive data or show signs of vulnerable libraries, but the SSL/TLS issues must be addressed immediately to meet industry compliance standards and protect user data effectively.

Recommendations

  1. Immediately obtain and deploy a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS and secure communications.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated versions to enhance encryption strength.
  3. Implement full HSTS policy including includeSubDomains and preload to prevent protocol downgrade attacks.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling to improve certificate revocation checking and reduce latency.
  5. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and user trust.
  6. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries for vulnerabilities and update them promptly.
  7. Enhance privacy compliance disclosures with explicit data retention policies and user rights information.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack combining WordPress CMS with React-based frontend components, leveraging libraries like GSAP for animations and Splide.js for sliders. Hosting is managed by WP Engine with Cloudflare providing CDN and security services. SEO is optimized with Yoast SEO plugin and structured data (JSON-LD) for rich snippets including FAQ schema. Accessibility features such as screen reader text and keyboard navigation are implemented. Performance data is not available, but the use of lazy loading and responsive design indicates good optimization efforts. Technical risks include the invalid SSL certificate and disabled TLS protocols, which could impact user trust and search engine rankings. The site uses multiple third-party marketing and analytics tools, which require careful management to avoid privacy issues and performance degradation.
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.
