0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Amazon México's About site serves as a corporate information portal tailored for the Mexican market, providing announcements, original content, and data about Amazon's operations in Mexico. The site reflects Amazon's position as a leading global e-commerce and technology company, offering services including retail, logistics, cloud computing, and entertainment. The content is professionally presented in Spanish, targeting consumers, partners, and stakeholders in Mexico. The site is part of Amazon's global network of About sites, supporting brand consistency and regional engagement. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Polymer for custom elements, integrates third-party services like Facebook SDK, YouTube API, Chartbeat analytics, and Adobe DTM for marketing and analytics. The site is hosted likely on Amazon AWS infrastructure, ensuring fast performance and good mobile optimization. SEO and accessibility practices are well implemented, with proper meta tags, structured data, and responsive design. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and includes standard security headers. There is no evidence of exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries. However, the site lacks visible cookie consent mechanisms and explicit security or incident response policies, which are areas for improvement to enhance compliance and user trust. Overall, the site is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and aligned with Amazon's global standards. It effectively communicates Amazon's business and impact in Mexico, though it could improve privacy compliance transparency and provide clearer contact channels for security and privacy concerns.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

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 México operates as a regional extension of Amazon.com, Inc., focusing on the Mexican market with a comprehensive e-commerce platform, logistics, cloud services (AWS), and entertainment offerings. The business model is multi-faceted, combining direct retail, subscription services (Amazon Prime), cloud infrastructure, and digital content. Amazon holds a dominant market position globally and in Mexico, leveraging its extensive logistics network and technology infrastructure. The About site supports brand positioning, investor relations, and community engagement. The presence of multiple language and regional About sites indicates a strategic approach to localization and market penetration. Partnerships and subsidiary relationships are consistent with Amazon's global corporate structure.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, strong SSL/TLS configuration, and implementation of key security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. No direct vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive information were detected in the HTML content. The use of reputable third-party scripts and analytics services is controlled and secure. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contact information, and vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and may hinder rapid incident reporting. The lack of a cookie consent banner suggests partial GDPR compliance, which could be improved. Overall, the site is secure but could enhance user trust and compliance by publishing explicit security and privacy policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement a visible cookie consent banner to comply with privacy regulations and enhance user trust.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Establish and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program and security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting.
  4. Provide clear contact information for security and privacy concerns on the website.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to ensure ongoing security and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern technology stack including Polymer for web components, asynchronous loading of Facebook SDK and YouTube iframe API, and integrates Chartbeat and Adobe DTM for analytics and marketing. The site is hosted on robust infrastructure, likely Amazon AWS, ensuring fast load times and high availability. SEO best practices are followed with canonical URLs, hreflang tags for localization, and structured data (JSON-LD) for enhanced search engine understanding. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and accessibility features. There is no indication of technical debt or outdated libraries. Opportunities exist to improve privacy compliance mechanisms and enhance security transparency.
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.
