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

Bitmoji is a digital avatar creation platform owned by Snap Inc., offering users personalized cartoon emojis and stickers for use in messaging and social media. The website presents a professional and consistent brand image with clear calls to action for downloading the app on iOS and Android platforms, as well as integration with Snapchat and other messaging apps. The business model is freemium, leveraging app downloads and integrations to drive user engagement. The site targets a broad general audience interested in personalized digital expression. Technically, the website uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with mobile optimization and app store integration. While no advanced frameworks or CMS are detected, the site is well-structured and SEO optimized. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness. However, accessibility features are basic and could be improved. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS (implied by app store links and modern web standards), but no explicit security headers were detected in the provided data. No forms or sensitive data collection points are present on the main page, reducing attack surface. Privacy compliance is strong with clear links to comprehensive privacy and cookie policies, though no active cookie consent mechanism is visible. The WHOIS data is missing or unavailable, which is unusual but likely due to registry or query limitations rather than malicious intent. Overall, the website is trustworthy, professionally maintained, and safe for general audiences. The main risk is the lack of visible security headers and incomplete WHOIS data, which should be addressed to improve transparency and security posture.

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

3 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 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

Bitmoji operates as a key product under Snap Inc., leveraging its integration with Snapchat to maintain a strong market position in the personalized emoji and avatar space. The business benefits from Snap's large user base and ecosystem, enabling seamless integration across multiple platforms including iOS, Android, and desktop Chrome extensions. Revenue streams likely include app engagement, potential in-app purchases, and brand partnerships. The company targets a broad demographic of social media users seeking expressive communication tools. Strategic partnerships with app stores and messaging platforms enhance distribution. The lack of direct contact information beyond press emails suggests a focus on digital self-service and brand-driven support channels.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS usage and no visible sensitive data exposure. However, the absence of common security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS reduces defense-in-depth. No incident response or security policy pages are linked, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present, indicating limited transparency in security operations. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, which is a positive compliance indicator. The missing WHOIS data is a concern but likely a registry anomaly. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a marketing and informational site but could be improved with enhanced headers, transparency, and contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and verify HTTP security headers including CSP, HSTS, and X-Frame-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Add a visible cookie consent mechanism to comply with privacy regulations and improve user trust.
  3. Publish a dedicated security policy and vulnerability disclosure page to enhance transparency and incident response readiness.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve usability for all users, including those with disabilities.
  5. Investigate and resolve WHOIS data availability issues to improve domain registration transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies without reliance on heavy frameworks or CMS, which simplifies maintenance and reduces attack surface. The presence of app store badges and links indicates a multi-platform distribution strategy. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization but basic accessibility. No advanced analytics or tracking scripts were detected in the provided HTML, suggesting minimal user tracking. The lack of visible security headers is a technical gap. The site does not appear to use a CDN or cloud hosting provider explicitly, and no server or hosting details are available from the data. Overall, the technical implementation is solid for a marketing site but could benefit from modern security and accessibility 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.
