Risk levelMedium

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

The analyzed page is a 404 error page from the www.amazon.co.uk domain, indicating the requested URL is not found. Amazon is a global leader in e-commerce, providing a wide range of products and services to consumers and businesses. The page uses Amazon's proprietary JavaScript analytics and tracking technologies, hosted on Amazon's infrastructure. While the page is served over HTTPS, it lacks visible security headers and does not provide privacy or cookie policies on this error page. No contact information or forms are present, limiting user engagement on this page. The domain is a subdomain of amazon.co.uk, a well-established and legitimate domain, with WHOIS data not available due to Nominet UK policies on subdomains.

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 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 Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Amazon Ads

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

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 operates a large-scale e-commerce platform targeting general consumers and businesses in the UK and globally. The business model is primarily retail and marketplace services, supported by extensive cloud infrastructure and digital content offerings. Amazon's market position is dominant in the UK e-commerce sector. The website branding is consistent and professional, though this specific error page lacks substantive content or user navigation options. The absence of privacy and cookie policies on this page is a minor gap given the broader site context.

Security posture

The site enforces HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communications. However, the lack of explicit security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options on this page is a potential area for improvement. The extensive use of proprietary analytics scripts indicates a mature tracking infrastructure, but privacy compliance indicators are not present on this error page. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced header configurations and visible privacy notices.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and display privacy and cookie policies even on error pages to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Add security headers like Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance security posture.
  3. Improve error page content to provide better navigation and user assistance.
  4. Ensure accessibility and mobile optimization are consistent across all pages including error pages.
  5. Regularly audit analytics and tracking scripts for privacy compliance and performance impact.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses Amazon's proprietary JavaScript analytics and tracking frameworks, including CSA and SUSHI. The hosting is on Amazon AWS infrastructure, ensuring robust performance and scalability. The page is served over HTTPS with modern JavaScript but lacks visible security headers. The error page content is minimal, impacting content quality and user experience scores. Mobile optimization and accessibility are basic, with room for improvement. SEO optimization is poor on this error page due to lack of meta tags and descriptive content.
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.
