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. 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
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  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

Amazon maintains a strong market position as a global leader in e-commerce and cloud computing, with a dedicated German news portal to engage local audiences. The business model is diversified across retail, cloud services, digital media, and devices. The website reflects Amazon's commitment to transparency and customer engagement in Germany, offering detailed insights into product launches, corporate social responsibility, and employment opportunities. The presence of official social media channels and links to investor relations and press resources indicates a mature partnership and communication ecosystem. Growth indicators include frequent news updates and innovation highlights, supporting Amazon's competitive advantage in the German market.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and multiple security headers such as HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options in place. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. The site uses a consent management platform (TrustArc) to comply with GDPR cookie requirements. However, the absence of a publicly accessible security policy, incident response contact information, or vulnerability disclosure program represents a compliance gap and potential risk area. The site would benefit from publishing explicit security and incident response documentation to enhance transparency and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Provide clear contact channels for security incidents, such as security@ or abuse@ emails.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet or exceed WCAG standards for broader inclusivity.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including React and Next.js, hosted on AWS infrastructure, which supports scalability and performance. The use of Adobe Alloy and Chartbeat indicates integration with advanced marketing and analytics tools. The site is mobile-optimized and uses responsive design techniques. SEO is well addressed with proper meta tags, Open Graph, and Twitter card metadata. The site employs a robust cookie consent mechanism via TrustArc, ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. No technical debt or major performance bottlenecks were observed in the HTML content. Opportunities exist to further improve accessibility and to document security practices more explicitly.
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.
