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

Amazon.se is the localized Swedish marketplace of Amazon.com, Inc., a leading global e-commerce retailer. The website offers a wide range of products including electronics, books, sports equipment, home and garden items, and promotes Amazon Prime subscription services. It targets general consumers in Sweden with a professional and user-friendly online shopping experience. The site leverages Amazon's extensive infrastructure and brand recognition to maintain a strong market position in the region. Technically, the website is built on Amazon's proprietary AmazonUI framework, utilizing modern web technologies such as service workers, advanced analytics, and responsive design to ensure fast performance and accessibility across devices. The site is hosted on Amazon Web Services, ensuring scalability and reliability. SEO and accessibility best practices are well implemented. From a security perspective, Amazon.se enforces HTTPS with strong SSL configurations and implements multiple security headers including Content Security Policy and X-Frame-Options. The site uses secure forms and does not expose sensitive data in the HTML. Privacy compliance is robust, with clear privacy and cookie policies and GDPR adherence. No critical vulnerabilities or suspicious patterns were detected. Overall, Amazon.se presents a low-risk profile with excellent content quality, technical maturity, and security posture. The absence of WHOIS data for the subdomain is typical for large enterprises and does not detract from the site's legitimacy. Strategic recommendations include continuous monitoring of third-party libraries, maintaining strict security policies, and enhancing incident response visibility to sustain trust and compliance.

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

4 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

  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 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';…

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.se operates as a key regional extension of Amazon.com, Inc., leveraging the parent company's global e-commerce platform to serve Swedish consumers. The business model is based on online retail with a broad product catalog and subscription services like Amazon Prime. The company benefits from Amazon's extensive logistics, technology infrastructure, and brand trust. Market positioning is strong due to Amazon's global presence and localized offerings. The site integrates advanced marketing tools and affiliate programs to drive sales and customer engagement. Growth indicators include continuous content updates and localized promotions. Partnerships are primarily internal within Amazon's ecosystem, with no external suspicious domains detected.

Security posture

The security maturity of Amazon.se is high, with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure coding practices evident in the site structure. The site employs Amazon's proprietary analytics and telemetry for monitoring user interactions and performance. Privacy compliance is demonstrated through GDPR-aligned policies and consent mechanisms. No exposed credentials or vulnerabilities were found in the analyzed content. Incident response and vulnerability disclosure information are not publicly detailed but likely managed internally by Amazon's security teams. The site shows a strong security culture with ongoing telemetry and error logging.

Recommendations

  1. Regularly audit and update third-party JavaScript libraries to mitigate supply chain risks.
  2. Maintain and monitor Content Security Policy to prevent injection attacks.
  3. Implement visible and accessible incident response contact information to enhance transparency.
  4. Ensure all forms have CSRF tokens and input validation to prevent abuse.
  5. Continue enhancing privacy notices and data retention disclosures to maintain GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

Amazon.se is built on a robust and modern technical infrastructure using AmazonUI and jQuery frameworks, supported by AWS hosting. The site is optimized for performance with preloading, service workers, and responsive design. Accessibility features and SEO meta tags are well implemented. The technical debt appears minimal with continuous updates and telemetry integration. The site uses advanced client-side analytics and event tracking to optimize user experience and business intelligence. Potential risks include reliance on extensive JavaScript which requires ongoing security review.
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.
