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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

Barion holds a strong market position with over 18,000 merchants and 2,000 developers using its services in 15+ countries. Its business model focuses on providing versatile payment solutions tailored for various needs, from online stores to platforms and marketplaces. The company emphasizes data-driven decision making and offers valuable insights through its analytics products. The presence of pre-made plugins and extensive libraries facilitates easy adoption. Barion's partnership ecosystem includes integrations with major e-commerce platforms and marketing tools. The company maintains consistent branding and provides clear, comprehensive information to its users, enhancing its credibility and market reach.

Security posture

Barion's security posture is robust, featuring HTTPS with strong TLS protocols (TLS 1.2 and 1.3), security headers like HSTS and CSP, and no detected vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed or FREAK. The domain is not DNSSEC enabled, which is a potential area for enhancement. The company is an EU licensed and regulated financial institution, indicating adherence to strict regulatory standards. Privacy policies and cookie consent mechanisms are in place, supporting GDPR compliance. However, OCSP stapling is not enabled, and HSTS could be improved by including subdomains and preload directives. No explicit incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies were found, suggesting room for improvement in transparency and security communication.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HSTS includeSubDomains and preload to strengthen transport security.
  2. Implement OCSP stapling to improve SSL certificate revocation checks.
  3. Publish a security.txt file to facilitate vulnerability reporting and disclosure.
  4. Consider enabling DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  5. Establish and publicize an incident response policy and dedicated security contact channels.
Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages a modern technology stack including Next.js for React-based server-side rendering, hosted on Vercel for scalable and performant delivery. Content is managed via Builder.io, enabling dynamic and localized content delivery. The site uses Google Tag Manager and Partytown for efficient script loading and analytics integration. Performance is fast with no significant resource loading issues detected. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including meta tags and language alternates. The technical infrastructure supports a secure and user-friendly experience, though some security enhancements are recommended.
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.
