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

Amplitude, Inc. is a well-established enterprise technology company specializing in product analytics and event tracking platforms. Recognized as a leader in the 2025 Forrester Wave for Digital Analytics Solutions, Amplitude provides a comprehensive SaaS platform that enables businesses to turn user data into actionable insights. Their key services include product and marketing analytics, session replay, heatmaps, feature experimentation, and data governance, targeting product teams, marketers, and data analysts across various industries. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, USA, and has a domain age consistent with its market presence since 1996. Technically, the website leverages modern frameworks such as Next.js and React, hosted on AWS infrastructure, and integrates multiple analytics and personalization tools including Google Tag Manager, Amplitude Analytics, Mutiny, and Vercel Analytics. The site demonstrates excellent performance, mobile optimization, and SEO practices, providing a professional and user-friendly experience. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and employs domain status protections to prevent unauthorized changes. However, there is room for improvement by enabling DNSSEC, publishing explicit security headers, and providing a public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file. Privacy compliance is moderate due to the absence of explicit privacy and cookie policies in the analyzed content. Overall, Amplitude's website reflects a high level of business credibility, technical maturity, and security posture, with minor gaps in privacy transparency. Strategic recommendations include enhancing DNS security, publishing comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, and establishing clear incident response contacts to further strengthen 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. 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"

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Amplitude holds a strong market position as a leader in digital analytics, offering a SaaS platform that supports product and marketing teams in understanding user behavior and optimizing product experiences. Their business model focuses on subscription-based software services with extensive integrations and data governance capabilities. The company targets enterprise clients and startups alike, providing scalable analytics solutions. The presence of industry-specific solutions and use cases indicates a diversified approach to market segmentation. Amplitude's partnership ecosystem includes integrations with numerous third-party platforms, enhancing its value proposition. The company's longevity and domain age support its credibility and operational stability.

Security posture

Amplitude demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, domain registration protections, and use of reputable hosting providers. The absence of DNSSEC is a minor gap that could be addressed to improve DNS security. No exposed vulnerabilities or sensitive data were detected in the website content. However, the lack of a public vulnerability disclosure program and incident response contact information limits transparency. Security headers were not explicitly identified in the provided content, suggesting potential for enhancement. Overall, the security measures align with industry best practices but could be improved to meet higher compliance standards such as ISO 27001 or NIST frameworks.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish explicit privacy and cookie policies with clear consent mechanisms to improve GDPR compliance.
  3. Implement and publicly disclose a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Add comprehensive security headers such as Content Security Policy (CSP), HSTS, and X-Frame-Options.
  5. Provide clear incident response contact channels to facilitate security communication.

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.
