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

Ero.today is an adult content website specializing in free erotic picture galleries curated by visitor clicks. The site targets an adults-only audience and offers a variety of galleries featuring pornstars, paysites, and tagged content. The business operates under Private by Design, LLC, a US-based entity with domain registration dating back to 2015, indicating a stable presence in the niche adult entertainment market. The website's business model centers on content aggregation and free access to erotic images, likely monetized through advertising or affiliate links to related adult sites. Technically, the website employs standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with hosting provided by Porkbun LLC. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices and offers basic navigation and content structure. However, it lacks advanced technical frameworks or CMS indications, and performance is moderate. The absence of analytics or tracking scripts in the provided HTML suggests minimal user tracking. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS but does not implement DNSSEC or security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options, which are recommended for enhanced protection. No privacy, cookie, or terms of service policies are present, and no contact or incident response information is disclosed, which limits transparency and compliance with data protection regulations. The WHOIS data is consistent and publicly available, supporting domain legitimacy. Overall, the site presents explicit adult content without age verification or compliance disclosures, which poses risks related to regulatory compliance and user trust. The technical and security posture is basic, with room for significant improvements in security best practices and privacy compliance.

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

9 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

Ero.today occupies a niche within the adult entertainment sector, focusing on free erotic image galleries. Its competitive advantage lies in curated content based on visitor clicks and a broad range of categories including pornstars and paysites. The business model appears to rely on content aggregation and possibly affiliate marketing or advertising revenue. The target customer segment is adults seeking free erotic content. The company, Private by Design, LLC, has maintained domain registration since 2015, indicating operational continuity. The site links to multiple related adult domains, suggesting a partnership ecosystem within the adult content network. However, the lack of explicit business contact information and compliance policies may limit growth opportunities and trust among users and partners.

Security posture

The current security maturity level of ero.today is basic. HTTPS is enabled, which is mandatory, but no additional security headers are present to mitigate common web vulnerabilities. The absence of DNSSEC reduces domain security against DNS spoofing. No privacy or cookie policies are published, indicating compliance gaps with GDPR and other data protection regulations. Incident response readiness is not evident due to lack of contact channels for security issues. No vulnerable libraries or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided HTML. The security culture appears minimal, with no visible indicators of proactive security management. These factors collectively suggest moderate risk exposure, particularly in regulatory compliance and potential web-based attacks.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC and implement security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and Strict-Transport-Security to enhance domain and web security.
  2. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies to improve GDPR compliance and user trust.
  3. Add clear contact information including security and abuse contacts to facilitate incident response and transparency.
  4. Implement age verification or adult content warnings to comply with legal requirements and protect minors.
  5. Consider integrating analytics and monitoring tools with privacy-respecting configurations to better understand user behavior and improve site performance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, utilizing Google Fonts for typography. There is no indication of a CMS or advanced frameworks, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Hosting is provided by Porkbun LLC, a domain registrar and hosting provider. The site is moderately optimized for mobile devices with responsive design elements. Performance is average with no explicit indicators of optimization or caching mechanisms. The lack of analytics and tracking scripts reduces data collection but also limits insights into user engagement. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities exist, especially in adopting security best practices and enhancing SEO and accessibility features.
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.
