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

Pledge It is a specialized SaaS fundraising platform designed to empower nonprofit organizations to rally communities, raise funds, and achieve their goals through multiple fundraising methods including peer-to-peer campaigns, events, donation forms, crowdfunding, and recurring giving. The platform also offers Power-Ups such as sponsorships, raffles, silent auctions, and merchandise shops to enhance fundraising capabilities. The company positions itself as a trusted partner for nonprofits, supported by strong customer testimonials and high ratings on software review platforms. Technically, the website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, leveraging modern web technologies such as Google Fonts, HubSpot analytics and marketing tools, Facebook Ads Pixel, and Lottie animations for a rich user experience. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, with a professional design and clear navigation structure. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses reputable third-party services for analytics and marketing. While explicit security headers are not detected in the HTML content, no sensitive data exposure or vulnerabilities are apparent. Privacy compliance is well addressed with clear privacy and cookie policies, including consent mechanisms and GDPR considerations. However, the absence of a public security policy or vulnerability disclosure page suggests room for improvement in transparency. Overall, the website and business exhibit a high level of professionalism and trustworthiness. The lack of WHOIS data is attributed to privacy protection, which is justified for this business type. The platform's focus on nonprofits and its comprehensive service offerings position it well in its niche market. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security header implementation, publishing a security policy, and adding vulnerability disclosure information to further strengthen trust and compliance.

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. 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

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

Pledge It operates in the nonprofit fundraising sector, offering a SaaS platform tailored to nonprofits' needs for diverse fundraising methods. Its competitive advantage lies in its comprehensive feature set including peer-to-peer fundraising, event management, donation forms, crowdfunding, recurring giving, and additional Power-Ups that diversify revenue streams. The company targets nonprofit organizations seeking scalable and engaging fundraising solutions. The presence of multiple trust badges and positive testimonials indicates strong customer satisfaction and market acceptance. The platform's integration with popular marketing and analytics tools suggests a mature digital marketing strategy. Partnerships with subdomains for charity login and demo booking enhance user engagement and service delivery. Growth indicators include continuous platform enhancements and active customer success support. The business model is subscription-based SaaS with potential revenue from add-on Power-Ups.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data. Use of reputable third-party analytics and marketing services is evident, though explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options are not detected, representing an area for improvement. No vulnerability disclosures or incident response contacts are publicly available, which could impact transparency and user trust. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are implemented, supporting GDPR compliance. The absence of WHOIS registrant data is due to privacy protection, common for SaaS providers. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing security policies, implementing security headers, and providing vulnerability disclosure channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices, data protection measures, and incident response procedures.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Provide contact information for a Data Protection Officer or security team to enhance GDPR transparency and user trust.
  5. Regularly review and audit third-party integrations and scripts to ensure they do not introduce security or privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the Webflow CMS platform, utilizing modern web technologies including Google Fonts, HubSpot analytics and marketing tools, Facebook Ads Pixel, and Lottie animations for interactive content. The site is hosted on Webflow's CDN, ensuring fast load times and global availability. The design is responsive and optimized for mobile devices, with good accessibility features. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured navigation. The use of multiple third-party scripts for analytics and marketing is well integrated but requires ongoing monitoring for performance and security impact. No technical debt or legacy technology indicators are present. Opportunities exist to enhance security headers and publish additional security documentation to improve technical maturity.
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.
