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

Amazon.nl is the Dutch localized e-commerce platform operated by Amazon.com, Inc., serving the Netherlands market with a broad range of retail products and marketplace services. The website is professionally branded and linked to official Amazon policies, targeting general consumers in the region. The platform supports API integrations for marketplace and advertising services, indicating a mature e-commerce infrastructure. Technically, the site uses Amazon's proprietary UI libraries and client-side metrics instrumentation, hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure. However, the current HTML content indicates a CAPTCHA challenge page, which restricts full content access and analysis. Security posture is strong with HTTPS enforced and CAPTCHA to prevent automated abuse, but visible security headers and explicit incident response policies are not present in the provided data. Privacy compliance is supported by a comprehensive privacy policy and terms of service, though no cookie consent mechanism was detected on this page. Overall, the domain registration and WHOIS data confirm the legitimacy and consistency of the business identity.

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

5 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

    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

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.nl operates as a key regional extension of Amazon's global e-commerce business, leveraging its extensive marketplace and retail capabilities. The business model combines direct retail sales with third-party seller marketplace services, supported by APIs for integration and advertising. The company targets a broad consumer base in the Netherlands, positioning itself as a leading online retailer. Amazon's strong brand recognition, global logistics, and technology infrastructure provide competitive advantages. The presence of API support indicates a focus on developer and partner ecosystems. While the site content is currently blocked by a CAPTCHA, the overall digital presence aligns with Amazon's enterprise scale and operational maturity.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and uses CAPTCHA challenges to mitigate automated access, reflecting a proactive security approach. However, the absence of visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options in the provided data suggests room for improvement. No explicit security or incident response policies are publicly visible on this page, which could enhance transparency and trust. The site does not expose sensitive data or vulnerable libraries in the analyzed content. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, but cookie consent mechanisms are not evident. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced header configurations and public security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publicly document security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent banner to comply with EU cookie regulations and improve privacy transparency.
  3. Publish explicit security and incident response policies accessible to users and partners.
  4. Enhance mobile optimization and accessibility features to improve user experience.
  5. Consider providing direct contact phone numbers and physical addresses for improved business credibility.

Technical notes

Notes

The website leverages Amazon's proprietary UI frameworks and client-side metrics JavaScript libraries, hosted on Amazon AWS infrastructure, ensuring scalability and reliability. The presence of CAPTCHA instrumentation indicates active bot mitigation strategies. Performance is moderate with basic mobile optimization and accessibility. SEO optimization is basic with standard meta tags but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags detected in the provided content. The site currently serves a CAPTCHA challenge page, limiting content availability and analysis. There is no evidence of a CMS or third-party frameworks beyond Amazon's own libraries. Technical risks are minimal but could be reduced by improving security headers and cookie consent mechanisms.
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.
