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

Amplify Partners is a venture capital firm focused on investing in technical founders building next-generation applications, tools, and platforms primarily for developers, data teams, and machine learning engineers. Founded in 2012, Amplify has established itself as an early investor in notable technology companies such as Datadog, Fastly, dbt, Temporal, Chainguard, and Runway, positioning itself as a key player in the technology investment sector. The website reflects a professional and modern digital presence with a strong emphasis on portfolio showcase and founder stories. The technical infrastructure of the website leverages modern web technologies including Webflow CMS, GSAP for animations, Swiper.js for sliders, and PostHog for analytics, hosted on Webflow's platform. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and accessibility, providing a seamless user experience. Analytics and tracking are implemented via PostHog and Google Tag Manager, indicating moderate user tracking practices. From a security perspective, the website uses HTTPS with good SSL configuration and secure form submissions via Mailchimp. However, it lacks visible security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and Strict-Transport-Security, and does not provide cookie consent mechanisms or detailed privacy compliance indicators. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain registration transparency, although the website content and branding strongly suggest legitimacy. Overall, Amplify Partners presents a trustworthy and professional online presence with strong business credibility and technical maturity. The main risks relate to incomplete domain registration transparency and limited privacy compliance features. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, implementing cookie consent, publishing security and terms of service policies, and clarifying domain registration details to improve 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

6 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 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';…

  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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

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

Amplify Partners operates as an essential entity in the technology venture capital sector, targeting highly technical founders and startups focused on developer tools, data infrastructure, and machine learning platforms. Their competitive advantage lies in early-stage investments in successful companies and deep technical understanding. The business model centers on venture funding and founder support, with revenue likely derived from fund management fees and equity stakes. The firm targets a niche audience of technical founders and engineering leaders, supported by a curated portfolio and thought leadership content. Growth indicators include recent fund announcements and a strong portfolio. Partnerships include related domains such as talent.amplifypartners.com and readamplified.com, indicating ecosystem expansion. The firm's operations are primarily US-based with offices in Menlo Park and San Francisco.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate to good security posture with HTTPS enforced and secure form handling via Mailchimp. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security reduces protection against common web attacks. No explicit security policies or incident response contacts are published, limiting transparency and preparedness. The lack of cookie consent and GDPR compliance indicators suggests potential compliance gaps. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS data is a notable concern for domain legitimacy and trust. Overall, the security maturity is adequate for a marketing website but could be improved with enhanced headers, policies, and compliance mechanisms.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance web security.
  2. Add a cookie consent banner and detailed cookie policy to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Publish clear terms of service and security policy pages to improve transparency and user trust.
  4. Clarify domain registration details and ensure WHOIS information is publicly available to enhance legitimacy and trustworthiness.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible security reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Webflow CMS with advanced front-end technologies such as GSAP for animations and Swiper.js for interactive sliders, ensuring a modern and engaging user experience. Hosting is managed by Webflow, providing reliable performance and scalability. Analytics are implemented using PostHog and Google Tag Manager, enabling detailed user behavior tracking. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and accessibility considerations. Performance is fast with efficient asset loading and minimal blocking scripts. Technical debt appears low with clean HTML and CSS. Opportunities exist to improve security headers and privacy compliance features to reduce technical risks.
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.
