Risk levelMedium

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

Bonterra is a leading provider of nonprofit software solutions focused on social impact, offering products for fundraising, case management, corporate social responsibility, and grant management. The company is positioned as the second-largest social good software provider globally, targeting nonprofits, foundations, corporations, and government agencies. Their SaaS business model integrates multiple acquired products to serve a broad social good ecosystem. Technically, the website is built on WordPress hosted on WP Engine with Cloudflare CDN, leveraging modern JavaScript frameworks like React and animation libraries such as GSAP. SEO and accessibility are well implemented, with comprehensive metadata and structured data. However, a critical security weakness is the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, severely impacting the security posture. Privacy and cookie policies are present and indicate GDPR compliance. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy but requires urgent security improvements to protect user data and maintain 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 operates in the nonprofit software sector with a strong market position supported by multiple subsidiary brands. Their competitive advantage lies in integrated solutions tailored for social good organizations, covering fundraising, volunteer management, and grantmaking. The company targets a diverse customer base including nonprofits, foundations, corporations, and government entities, indicating a broad market reach. The presence of extensive marketing and analytics tools suggests a mature digital marketing strategy. The company was founded in 2021 and has quickly scaled to a large enterprise size. Partnerships and subsidiaries enhance their product portfolio and market penetration. The website content and client logos reinforce credibility and industry leadership.

Security posture

The website demonstrates good security header implementation and privacy compliance but suffers from a critical lack of valid SSL/TLS configuration, resulting in no HTTPS encryption. This exposes users to potential data interception and undermines trust. No explicit security or incident response policies are found, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The site restricts sensitive permissions such as geolocation, microphone, and camera via permissions-policy headers. The absence of modern TLS protocols and session resumption mechanisms further weakens security. Overall, the security maturity is low due to missing HTTPS, despite other good practices.

Recommendations

  1. Obtain and deploy a valid SSL certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site immediately.
  2. Enable and configure modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3) and disable deprecated protocols.
  3. Implement HSTS with includeSubDomains and preload flags to enforce HTTPS.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and dependencies to minimize vulnerabilities and ensure compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including React for UI components, GSAP for animations, and Splide.js for carousels. It is built on WordPress CMS hosted on WP Engine with Cloudflare CDN for performance and security. SEO is enhanced with Yoast SEO plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. The site is mobile optimized and accessible with ARIA landmarks and screen reader text. Performance metrics are not provided but the use of lazy loading and CDN suggests moderate to good performance. The site integrates multiple marketing and analytics tools such as Marketo, Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Microsoft Clarity, indicating a mature digital marketing infrastructure. However, the lack of valid SSL/TLS is a significant technical risk that must be addressed.
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.
