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

OpenAdultDirectory.com is a niche adult-oriented directory website providing listings and informational links related to escorts, BDSM, fetish, massage, bodyrub, and exotic dancers. The site targets an adults-only audience and operates as a referral service rather than a direct service provider. The domain is long-established, created in 2002, indicating a stable presence in its niche market. The website content is basic but functional, with clear terms of use and age verification statements to restrict access to mature users. Technically, the site uses simple HTML and CSS without modern frameworks or CMS platforms. Mobile optimization is present via responsive CSS stylesheets, but overall technical sophistication is limited. No analytics, advertising, or tracking scripts were detected in the provided HTML content. Security posture is weak due to lack of DNSSEC, security headers, and no explicit HTTPS information. Privacy and cookie policies are absent, indicating compliance gaps with modern data protection standards. Security-wise, the site does not show signs of active protection mechanisms such as WAF or incident response contacts. The domain registration is consistent and trustworthy, with no privacy protection masking registrant details. However, the absence of security best practices and compliance documentation presents risks. Overall, the site is functional but lacks modern security and privacy controls. Strategically, the site should prioritize implementing HTTPS, security headers, and privacy policies to improve trust and compliance. Adding contact information and incident response details would enhance transparency and security posture. Modernizing the technical stack and improving content quality could also support better user experience and SEO performance.

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. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

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 · found on this site
  • 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

OpenAdultDirectory.com operates in the adult entertainment sector as a directory and referral platform. Its competitive advantage lies in its longevity and niche focus on escorts, BDSM, fetish, and related adult services. The business model is primarily informational and referral-based, likely generating revenue through advertising or affiliate links, though no explicit advertising was detected. The target customer segment is adults seeking adult entertainment professionals worldwide. The site does not disclose partnerships or subsidiaries, and no payment processing or transactional services are evident. Growth indicators are limited due to basic content and lack of modern marketing tools. The partnership ecosystem is not visible from the data provided.

Security posture

The website exhibits a low to moderate security maturity level. Key vulnerabilities include absence of DNSSEC, lack of HTTPS confirmation, missing security headers, and no privacy or cookie policies. There is no evidence of incident response readiness or security contact channels. Data protection practices are minimal, with no GDPR compliance indicators. The site does not collect user data via forms or analytics scripts in the provided content, reducing exposure but also limiting user engagement insights. The security culture appears minimal, with no certifications or security frameworks referenced. Business impact of these gaps includes potential user trust erosion and regulatory compliance risks.

Recommendations

  1. Implement HTTPS with a valid SSL/TLS certificate and enforce secure connections site-wide.
  2. Enable DNSSEC to protect domain name resolution from spoofing and attacks.
  3. Add comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  4. Introduce security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  5. Provide clear contact information including security incident response contacts to improve transparency and trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built with basic HTML and CSS, including responsive stylesheets for mobile optimization. No JavaScript frameworks, CMS platforms, or analytics tools were detected in the provided HTML content. The site is hosted on a domain registered with Tucows Domains Inc., a reputable registrar, but DNSSEC is not enabled. Performance is likely moderate given the simple page structure and lack of heavy scripts. SEO optimization is basic with meta description and keywords present but no advanced structured data or Open Graph tags. Accessibility features are minimal. Technical debt is low due to simplicity but modernization opportunities exist to improve security, SEO, and user experience.
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.
