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

baningo GmbH is a technology company specializing in digital networking solutions, primarily through their digital business card platform and NFC business cards. Founded in 2015 and based in Austria, the company serves a broad professional audience seeking modern, sustainable ways to share contact information. Their market position is supported by over 10,000 customers and partnerships with notable companies. Technically, the website leverages Cloudflare for hosting and security, uses Matomo and Google Tag Manager for analytics, and integrates Facebook Pixel for marketing. However, the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS severely undermines the security posture. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanisms. Overall, the website is professionally designed and trustworthy but requires urgent security improvements.

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

4 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  2. 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

  3. 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

baningo operates a SaaS business model combined with physical product sales (NFC cards). Their competitive advantage lies in combining digital and physical networking tools with sustainability focus. The company targets businesses and professionals, offering team management features and customizable designs. Their partnership ecosystem includes Austrian Wirtschaftsservice, F10 FinTech Accelerator, and others, indicating strong local support. Growth indicators include a large customer base and active marketing via multiple channels. The company maintains a professional online presence with clear branding and customer testimonials.

Security posture

The current security maturity is low due to the lack of HTTPS and valid SSL certificates, exposing users to potential interception risks. Security headers are well configured, but critical TLS protocols and HSTS are missing. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure information is publicly available, which limits transparency. Privacy practices are strong with explicit consent management and GDPR-aligned policies. The use of multiple analytics and marketing tools is balanced with user consent. Immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues is critical to protect user data and maintain trust.

Recommendations

  1. Install and maintain a valid SSL/TLS certificate to enable HTTPS across all domains.
  2. Enable modern TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 or 1.3) and configure HSTS with preload and includeSubDomains.
  3. Publish an incident response policy and provide security contact channels (e.g., security@baningo.com).
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and marketing tools to minimize privacy risks.
  5. Enhance accessibility features and provide more visible contact information including phone and email.
Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with Cloudflare CDN and DNS, Matomo for analytics, and Google Tag Manager for marketing tags. The site is well structured with responsive design and good SEO metadata. However, the lack of SSL/TLS is a major technical deficiency. Performance data is unavailable, but the use of CDN and optimized images/videos suggests moderate to good performance. Accessibility is basic but could be improved. No CMS detected, likely a custom or static site. Hosting via Cloudflare provides DDoS protection but does not compensate for missing HTTPS.
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.
