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.de operates as a key regional branch of Amazon.com, Inc., focusing on the German market. Its business model centers on direct retail and a marketplace for third-party sellers, supported by APIs for advertising and product data. The company holds a dominant market position in e-commerce with extensive product offerings and customer services. Revenue streams include product sales, marketplace commissions, and advertising. The target audience is broad, encompassing general consumers in Germany. The domain age and WHOIS data align with Amazon's corporate history, reinforcing credibility. The website ecosystem includes multiple Amazon-owned domains for images and APIs, indicating a tightly integrated platform. No suspicious or unrelated domains are linked. The site lacks visible direct contact information on this page but provides official support email references.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced and captcha-based bot mitigation to prevent automated abuse. However, the absence of visible security headers in the provided data suggests room for improvement in HTTP security configurations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, but no explicit cookie consent mechanism was found on this page. Incident response and security policy details are not directly available. The captcha challenge indicates proactive security controls but also limits content accessibility for analysis. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced header configurations and more transparent security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and expose standard security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance protection against common web attacks.
  2. Add a visible and user-friendly cookie consent mechanism to comply fully with GDPR and ePrivacy Directive requirements.
  3. Publish detailed security policies and incident response procedures accessible to users and security researchers.
  4. Improve accessibility features and mobile optimization to enhance user experience and compliance with accessibility standards.
  5. Maintain and regularly audit bot mitigation measures to balance security with user accessibility.
Site observations

Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Amazon proprietary UI frameworks and client-side metrics scripts, indicating a custom-built, scalable infrastructure hosted on Amazon AWS. The presence of captcha instrumentation scripts suggests advanced bot detection and mitigation capabilities. Performance is moderate based on the content and script loading patterns. The HTML is valid and includes proper meta tags for viewport and charset. SEO optimization is basic with standard title and meta tags but lacks advanced structured data or Open Graph tags in the provided content. Accessibility is basic with no ARIA roles or landmarks detected. The site is currently behind a captcha challenge, which impacts content availability and user experience. There is an opportunity to enhance technical SEO and accessibility compliance.
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.
