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

7 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

  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.

    • Critical

      Unable to retrieve SSL certificate

      Could not establish secure connection to retrieve certificate information

      What to do: Check if the server is accessible and SSL/TLS is properly configured

  3. 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 maintains a strong market position in Italy through this localized site, emphasizing its comprehensive business model that includes e-commerce, cloud services, logistics, and entertainment. The site highlights Amazon's commitment to community impact, sustainability, and employee welfare, which are key competitive advantages. The business model leverages Amazon's global infrastructure while tailoring content and services to the Italian audience. The presence of multiple international About Amazon sites indicates a broad partnership and content ecosystem. The site supports brand trust and customer engagement but lacks direct contact details, which may be intentional for corporate communication. Revenue streams are implied through retail sales, AWS services, and logistics partnerships. Target customers include consumers, small and medium enterprises, authors, and AWS clients. Growth indicators include dedicated sections on economic impact and community support. The partnership ecosystem includes delivery service partners and AWS clients, reinforcing Amazon's integrated business approach.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, use of security headers, and integration of a consent management platform to comply with GDPR. The absence of exposed sensitive data and use of trusted third-party scripts reduce risk. However, the lack of publicly available security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms represents a compliance gap and potential area for improvement. The site does not display any signs of malware or phishing. Overall, the security culture appears strong but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security communication channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance frameworks.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance transparency around data retention policies and user privacy controls.
  5. Maintain regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS with modern JavaScript frameworks and polyfills to support custom elements across browsers. It uses SVG for icons and integrates third-party services like TrustArc for cookie consent and Chartbeat for analytics. The site is hosted on Amazon's AWS infrastructure, ensuring scalability and reliability. Performance is moderate with asynchronous script loading and optimized assets. Mobile optimization and accessibility are well addressed. Technical risks are minimal, but continuous monitoring of third-party dependencies is recommended to avoid vulnerabilities. The site could improve by adding structured security headers explicitly and enhancing performance metrics.
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.
