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.

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 Australia leverages its global brand and infrastructure to maintain a competitive advantage in the local market. Its business model focuses on direct retail, third-party marketplace facilitation, and subscription services. The company benefits from extensive partnerships and a mature logistics network. The website's content and design reflect a high level of professionalism and brand consistency, supporting customer trust and engagement. Amazon's ecosystem includes subsidiaries such as AWS, Audible, and Twitch, which complement its retail operations.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure cookie management. It employs Amazon's proprietary UI frameworks and service workers with secure messaging. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The presence of ISO 27001 certification further underscores its commitment to information security. However, the site lacks a publicly visible vulnerability disclosure program and explicit incident response contact details, which could be areas for improvement.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicize a formal vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting.
  2. Enhance visibility of incident response contacts to improve security communication.
  3. Maintain regular security audits and update third-party libraries to mitigate emerging threats.
  4. Continue to improve privacy compliance transparency, especially regarding data retention policies.
  5. Invest in ongoing accessibility improvements to ensure inclusivity for all users.

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.
