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

WeAvatar is a Chinese technology company providing a next-generation avatar service that surpasses Gravatar by supporting multi-level avatar matching, modern image formats like WEBP, AVIF, and HEIF, and AI-powered automatic avatar content review. The platform targets internet users and developers who require reliable and fast avatar services integrated into their online interactions. The company positions itself as a fast, secure, and innovative avatar provider with plans to offer an open platform and SDK for developers. Technically, the website uses a modern Vue.js frontend and Go backend hosted on Alibaba Cloud, with good performance and mobile optimization. Security posture is decent with HTTPS enabled and AI-based content moderation, but lacks some security headers and public security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the domain registration is consistent and trustworthy, with a long registration period and reputable registrar. The website is professionally designed and content-rich, but could improve transparency and compliance aspects.

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

10 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

  2. 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • High

      Missing X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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';…

  3. 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

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

WeAvatar operates in the technology sector, focusing on avatar services for internet users and developers. Its competitive advantage lies in multi-source avatar matching (including Gravatar and QQ), support for phone number and letter avatars, and AI-driven content moderation. The business model is primarily free service provision with future plans for an open platform and SDK, indicating a developer-centric approach. The company has established partnerships with related projects and sponsors, enhancing its ecosystem. Market positioning is as a modern, fast, and secure alternative to Gravatar, targeting primarily the Chinese market. The company was founded in 2015 and maintains a small-sized operation with consistent branding and good content quality.

Security posture

The security maturity of WeAvatar is moderate. HTTPS is properly implemented, and the use of AI for automatic avatar content review is a strong security feature to prevent inappropriate content. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security-related HTTP headers reduces the overall security posture. There is no publicly available security policy or incident response information, which limits transparency and readiness for security incidents. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analysis. The website would benefit from publishing security policies, enabling DNSSEC, and adding security headers to enhance protection and trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve domain name system security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to enhance compliance and user trust.
  3. Add security HTTP headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security.
  4. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts.
  5. Develop and publish a formal security policy and incident response plan.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with a modern technology stack including Vue.js for the frontend and Go for the backend, hosted on Alibaba Cloud. It uses modern image formats and multi-level caching to optimize performance and reduce bandwidth. The site is mobile-optimized and has good SEO practices with proper meta tags. Google Tag Manager is used for analytics, indicating moderate user tracking. The site lacks a CMS and appears to be a custom-built platform. Performance is fast, and the design is professional and user-friendly. Technical risks include missing DNSSEC and security headers, which should be addressed to reduce attack surface.
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.
