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

6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

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

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • 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

  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
    • 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';…

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.

Business context

Business profile

Amazon's About Amazon Germany site reflects a mature and well-established business with a comprehensive digital presence. The site highlights Amazon's key services including Amazon Prime, devices, logistics, AWS, and business solutions. The content is professionally curated, supporting Amazon's brand image and market leadership. The site also emphasizes Amazon's social and environmental commitments, indicating a strategic focus on corporate responsibility. The presence of multiple localized About Amazon sites suggests a broad partnership and subsidiary ecosystem supporting Amazon's global operations. The site is designed to support stakeholder engagement, media relations, and public policy communication.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and integration of a consent management platform (TrustArc) to comply with GDPR and cookie regulations. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. However, the site lacks explicit security policy documentation and incident response contact information, which are recommended best practices for corporate sites. Security headers are not explicitly visible in the provided data, suggesting room for improvement. The use of modern web technologies and hosting on Amazon AWS further supports a robust infrastructure. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced with additional transparency and security disclosures.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page including incident response and abuse contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Implement and report standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  3. Add a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Enhance the visibility of data protection officer contact details to comply fully with GDPR transparency requirements.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and ensure compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Polymer web components, TrustArc for consent management, Chartbeat for analytics, and Adobe DTM for tag management. It is hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure, as indicated by the AWS DNS nameservers. The site is mobile optimized and accessible, with good SEO practices including comprehensive meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Performance is moderate, with asynchronous loading of scripts to improve user experience. The CMS appears to be Brightspot, a professional content management system. Technical risks are minimal, but the absence of explicit security headers and incident response information represents a potential area for technical debt and compliance risk.
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.
