Risk levelLow

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

Audemars Piguet is a prestigious Swiss luxury watchmaker with a rich heritage dating back to 1875. The company operates a sophisticated and visually rich website that showcases its products, brand story, and latest novelties. The site targets affluent consumers and watch enthusiasts globally, emphasizing craftsmanship and exclusivity. Technically, the website leverages modern JavaScript frameworks such as Vue.js, integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics, and uses OneTrust for privacy compliance, reflecting a mature digital infrastructure. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and cookie consent mechanisms, though explicit security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly disclosed. The WHOIS data for the domain is unavailable, likely due to privacy protection, which is common for luxury brands. Overall, the website is professional, secure, and compliant with privacy regulations, supporting the brand's high trustworthiness and market position.

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

1 finding rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. 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

The brand holds a premium position in the luxury retail sector, focusing on high-end mechanical watches. Its business model centers on direct retail and brand experience, supported by a global network of boutiques and digital presence. The website content and linked domains indicate strong brand storytelling and marketing efforts, including anniversary microsites. The company uses advanced marketing and tracking tools to optimize customer engagement and retargeting. No direct contact emails or phone numbers are exposed, suggesting controlled communication channels likely via contact forms. The absence of WHOIS data is consistent with privacy practices for high-profile brands. The company maintains a consistent and high-quality digital presence aligned with its luxury market segment.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with enforced HTTPS, presence of key security headers, and no visible exposure of sensitive data. The use of cookie consent tools indicates GDPR compliance efforts. However, the lack of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency. No security.txt file or direct security contact emails were found. Third-party scripts and trackers are used but appear standard for marketing and analytics purposes. Recommendations include publishing explicit security policies and providing security contact information to enhance trust and incident handling readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and incident response procedures.
  2. Implement and publish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide direct security contact channels such as security@ or abuse@ emails for transparency.
  4. Regularly review and audit third-party scripts and trackers to minimize potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance data retention transparency and update privacy policies accordingly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on Adobe Experience Manager CMS with Vue.js frontend components, indicating a modern and scalable architecture. It uses Google Tag Manager and OneTrust for analytics and privacy management. Multimedia content such as videos and high-resolution images are used extensively, which may impact performance but are optimized with lazy loading and responsive images. Accessibility features like skip links and ARIA labels are present, supporting usability. SEO is well addressed with meta tags and Open Graph data. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical implementation is robust, though performance could be further optimized for faster load times.
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.
