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

Octany is a Swedish-based SaaS company providing a comprehensive fundraising platform tailored for nonprofits, associations, subscription-driven businesses, and companies running campaigns. Their platform integrates multiple payment methods including Swish, cards, and Autogiro, combined with donor management and a mini-CRM to provide full visibility of revenue and donor data. The company positions itself as a reliable technology partner with a focus on Swedish payment solutions and seamless integration with accounting and marketing tools. The website is professionally designed, mobile-optimized, and rich in content, featuring customer testimonials and partner logos that enhance trust and credibility. However, the lack of publicly available WHOIS registration data raises questions about domain registration legitimacy and transparency.

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. 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"

    • 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 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

Octany operates in the nonprofit sector, targeting organizations that require efficient fundraising and membership management solutions. Their business model is subscription-based SaaS, offering integrated payment processing and CRM functionalities. The company leverages partnerships with well-known payment processors and accounting software providers to strengthen its ecosystem. The presence of customer testimonials and case studies indicates a focus on customer satisfaction and market credibility. The platform's support for Swedish payment methods like Swish and Autogiro suggests a strong regional focus, while also serving global clients. The absence of domain registration data is a notable anomaly that should be addressed to reinforce trust.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and employs obfuscation techniques to protect email addresses from scraping. It uses secure form submission methods and integrates reputable third-party services for analytics and customer support. However, the site lacks explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and does not publicly disclose any security policies, incident response plans, or vulnerability disclosure programs. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The overall security posture is good but could be improved by publishing security policies and implementing additional HTTP security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance GDPR compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement and configure HTTP security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure information to demonstrate security maturity.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS domain registration information to improve transparency and legitimacy.
  5. Enhance advertising transparency by disclosing tracking and data usage practices more explicitly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Snowfire CMS platform and uses modern web technologies including jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Fathom Analytics, ActiveCampaign, and HelpScout Beacon for customer support. The site loads external assets from reputable CDNs and integrates a dotLottie player for animations. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. The technical implementation is solid with room for improvement in security headers and privacy compliance mechanisms.
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.
