Risk levelLow

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

Barion is a payment service provider offering comprehensive payment solutions, programmatic advertising, and advanced analytics to help businesses grow. The company targets businesses and developers seeking efficient payment integration with competitive fees and insightful data. The website demonstrates a modern technical infrastructure using Next.js and Builder.io CMS, with integration of popular analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. The site is well-designed, mobile-optimized, and provides a professional user experience. Security posture is solid with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented, though some security headers and explicit security policies are missing. WHOIS data is not available, which raises some concerns about domain registration transparency. Overall, the website is credible and trustworthy but would benefit from enhanced privacy and security disclosures.

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

2 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. 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

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

Barion operates in the finance and technology sectors, providing payment gateway services and related analytics. The business model focuses on B2B payment processing and data-driven growth tools. The company maintains a multi-country presence with localized content and language support. Key competitive advantages include ease of integration, competitive fees, and comprehensive data analytics. The partnership ecosystem includes major analytics and marketing platforms. Growth indicators are positive based on the professional web presence and active social media channels. However, the lack of WHOIS transparency suggests a need for further due diligence.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms, indicating awareness of privacy regulations. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, limiting transparency. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The security score is good but can be improved by publishing security policies and implementing additional HTTP headers. GDPR compliance is partially indicated but not fully documented.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service pages.
  2. Add security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Consider adding a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern React-based framework (Next.js) combined with Builder.io CMS for content management. It integrates Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, and Facebook Pixel for marketing and analytics. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive images. Performance is moderate with deferred loading of scripts. No CMS-specific vulnerabilities or outdated libraries were detected. The hosting provider is not explicitly identified. Technical debt appears low, but improvements in accessibility and security headers are recommended to reduce risk and improve compliance.
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.
