Risk levelMedium

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

IMVU operates a leading 3D avatar social app platform that enables users to create avatars, explore virtual worlds, and engage in 3D chats. The website reflects a mature digital presence with integrations for iOS, Android, and web platforms, leveraging modern JavaScript SDKs and tracking tools. The platform targets a broad audience interested in virtual social experiences and gaming. Technically, the site uses HTTPS and asynchronous loading of scripts to optimize performance and security. However, explicit privacy and cookie policies are not evident in the provided content, which is a compliance gap. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and no visible vulnerabilities, but could be improved with additional security headers and incident response contact information. Overall, the site is professional, trustworthy, and safe for general audiences.

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

7 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: Google Analytics

      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

IMVU holds a strong market position as a pioneer in 3D avatar social networking and virtual worlds. Its business model revolves around social engagement and virtual goods sales, supported by a large user base. The company leverages partnerships with major platforms like Facebook and Apple for authentication and marketing. The presence of multiple tracking and advertising tools indicates a focus on user acquisition and monetization. The lack of visible contact or compliance documentation suggests areas for improvement in transparency and regulatory adherence. The platform's extensive technical infrastructure supports cross-platform accessibility and user engagement.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with enforced HTTPS and use of reputable third-party SDKs. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. There is no visible security or incident response contact information, which is a best practice for mature platforms. The use of multiple tracking pixels and marketing scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risk, necessitating regular audits. Compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations is unclear due to missing policy documents. Overall, the security posture is good but can be enhanced by addressing these gaps.

Recommendations

  1. Publish and prominently link comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve compliance and user trust.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  3. Provide clear security incident response contact information such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  5. Enhance accessibility features to meet WCAG standards and improve user experience for all audiences.

Technical notes

Notes

The website employs a modern technology stack including asynchronous JavaScript loading, Facebook SDK, Google Tag Manager, and Pinterest Pixel for analytics and marketing. It supports multiple platforms including web, iOS, and Android, with app store links embedded in metadata. The site uses responsive design techniques and optimized assets for mobile devices. Performance is moderate with room for improvement in loading speed and accessibility. No CMS was explicitly detected, suggesting a custom or proprietary platform. Hosting provider details are not disclosed. The technical implementation supports a scalable and engaging user experience but should focus on enhancing security headers and compliance documentation.
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.
