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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

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.de operates as a major retail e-commerce platform targeting general consumers in Germany and Europe. It benefits from Amazon's global brand recognition, extensive logistics, and marketplace model allowing third-party sellers. The business model focuses on online retail sales, subscription services like Amazon Prime, and personalized advertising. The website's technical infrastructure supports high performance and scalability. Partnerships with Amazon's internal services and analytics platforms enhance marketing and user engagement. The platform maintains a consistent brand image and high trust indicators, positioning it as a market leader.

Security posture

The website exhibits a strong security posture with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers such as CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options, and active JavaScript error monitoring. Cookie consent and privacy compliance mechanisms are implemented to meet GDPR requirements. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the site could improve transparency by publishing explicit security policies and vulnerability disclosure programs. Incident response contact information is not prominently available, which could be enhanced to improve security readiness and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page detailing frameworks and controls.
  2. Provide clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure contact channels.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries to avoid vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance transparency on data retention and processing practices.
  5. Maintain continuous monitoring and user education on privacy and security.

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.
