amCharts is a well-established technology company specializing in JavaScript charting and mapping libraries for web and application data visualization since 2006. The company offers a suite of products including charts, maps, stock charts, and innovative tools like an AI Chart Maker, targeting developers and businesses requiring advanced data visualization solutions. Their market position is strong with a consistent brand presence and a comprehensive offering supported by tutorials, demos, and active social media engagement. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries including amCharts 5, and integrates SEO and analytics tools effectively. The site is performant, mobile-optimized, and accessible, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security-wise, the site enforces HTTPS and includes cookie consent mechanisms, but could improve by adding explicit security headers and publishing a security.txt file. Incident response channels are available via a dedicated vulnerability reporting page and contact email. Overall, the website demonstrates high professionalism and trustworthiness, though the lack of WHOIS registration details introduces some uncertainty about domain registration transparency.

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. 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 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';…

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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.

    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

amCharts operates in the technology sector with a focus on software licensing for data visualization tools. Their business model revolves around selling JavaScript libraries and providing support and documentation to developers. The company targets a global audience of developers, analysts, and enterprises needing interactive charts and maps. Their ecosystem includes partnerships and tools like online map editors and AI-powered chart makers, indicating innovation and growth orientation. The presence of VAT and DUNS numbers suggests formal business registration in Lithuania. The company maintains a blog and tutorials, enhancing customer engagement and education. Their market positioning is that of a specialized, reputable provider with a medium-sized operation and a consistent brand identity.

Security posture

The security posture of the amCharts website is solid with mandatory HTTPS usage and a cookie consent mechanism indicating GDPR awareness. The presence of a vulnerability reporting page and a dedicated contact email for security issues shows proactive incident response readiness. However, the absence of explicit security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and X-Frame-Options is a gap that could be exploited. No known vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The site uses third-party scripts including Google Analytics and jQuery, which should be regularly audited for security. Overall, the security maturity is good but can be enhanced by adopting additional best practices and publishing formal security policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce security headers like CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen defense against common web attacks.
  2. Publish a security.txt file to formalize vulnerability disclosure and improve transparency with security researchers.
  3. Enhance contact forms with CAPTCHA or other anti-spam measures to prevent abuse and potential injection attacks.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and scripts to mitigate risks from vulnerable dependencies.
  5. Increase visibility of security policies and incident response procedures on the website to build user trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack leveraging WordPress CMS with Yoast SEO for optimization and Google Analytics for traffic analysis. It uses the amCharts 5 JavaScript library extensively for interactive data visualizations. The site loads efficiently with deferred and async script loading, and includes responsive design elements for mobile optimization. Accessibility considerations are evident with ARIA roles and screen reader text. The technical implementation is robust with good SEO metadata, structured data in JSON-LD format, and social media integration. Hosting details are not explicit, but the presence of Cloudflare-like scripts is not detected, indicating direct hosting or a different CDN provider. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports a high-quality user experience with room for minor security enhancements.
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.
