Is an NFC business card secure?

An NFC business card is secure when NFC card security is thought through from the start: what the chip contains, where the profile page lives and who manages it.

With our digital business cards, the smartphone is brought close to the card or scans the QR code and opens a personalised page, hosted on the company's domain. The point is not the chip itself, but the whole system: page, management panel and servers. That is why we design it together with the website, with hosting on NewVisibility's managed servers. We work from Cantù, in the province of Como, for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano.

Reading the NFC chip requires a device to be physically close, so it only happens at short range. What goes into the chip matters: it is best to let it share only what you would share anyway. We assess it during the project phase, from our office in Cantù, in the province of Como.

The personal data in the NFC chip depends on how the card is configured. In a well-designed project the chip points to the profile page on the company domain, where the data stays under your control. For companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano, what to publish is decided during the project phase.

If you lose an NFC card, the risk is limited because it holds information meant to be shared, while the profile is managed by the company on its own domain. It is best to notify whoever manages the cards straight away, in a company in Como or elsewhere, and check what is visible in the profile.

To deactivate a lost NFC card, you act on the profile page it points to, managed by the company through the panel. Deactivation or replacement procedures are not automatic: we assess them during the project phase with companies between Como, Milan and Lugano, without promising features that have not been agreed.

To protect employee data on NFC cards in a company in Como or Brianza, it is best to publish only what the role requires and review profiles when duties change. The privacy notice and data processing should be checked with the privacy consultant: this is general guidance, not legal advice.

Handling privacy and cookies in the digital profile means treating the card page like a website page: the privacy notice, consent and any measurement or retargeting tools should be checked with the privacy consultant. This applies to companies in Como, Milan and Lugano: the profile is on the company domain.

The rewriting of the NFC chip by third parties depends on how the chip is configured and protected, so we assess it during the project phase in Cantù, in the province of Como. A card that points to a page on the company domain moves control to the profile, where access and content are managed by the company.

The lifespan of an NFC card depends on use and storage, the quality of manufacture and on keeping the linked online profile running, that is, domain and hosting. We do not give numbers: they are assessed case by case with our team in Cantù, in the province of Como. The content is updated from the panel.

For NFC card security in Como you need an agency that handles the whole chain: profile page, panel and servers. NewVisibility, in Cantù in the province of Como, has an in-house team, an enterprise CMS, managed servers and CSSDA awards on some websites. Protection measures are defined during the project phase.

To look after the domain, hosting and maintenance of NFC cards for a company between Milan and Lugano, you need a partner that manages the whole system. NewVisibility, an agency in Cantù with managed servers and an in-house team, takes care of the profile and the linked website; the level of support is agreed during the project phase.

In general, the NFC chip in a card needs neither a battery nor charging: it activates when the phone comes close. The precise characteristics are assessed during the project phase with our team in Cantù, for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano.

When an employee leaves the company, their NFC card should be handled with a procedure defined in advance: the profile page is on the company domain and is controlled from the panel. Who becomes the point of reference is assessed during the project phase with our team in Cantù, near Como.

Having the website and NFC cards managed by the same agency in Brianza means a single point of contact for profiles, domain, hosting and landing pages. NewVisibility is an in-house team in Cantù, in the province of Como, that develops bespoke websites with an enterprise CMS and managed servers.

To measure digital card opens, what counts is how the profile is designed and which analytics tools are linked to the website. The available features are assessed during the project phase with the team in Cantù, for companies between Como and Milan, with respect for privacy and consent, to be checked with the consultant.

Yes, a digital card can also be shared remotely because the profile is a web page: the link or QR code can travel in an email, a message or a presentation, with nothing to install. Our team in Cantù sets it up for companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano.
