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

PornList18.com is an adult content directory website founded in 2019 that curates and categorizes a wide range of pornographic websites, including reviews and affiliate links. The site targets adult users seeking diverse adult content, including niche categories such as AI porn, VR porn, and premium sites. The business model primarily relies on affiliate marketing and advertising revenue. Technically, the site uses modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Google Fonts, Font Awesome, and analytics tools such as Google Analytics and Ahrefs Analytics. It is hosted and registered via Cloudflare, ensuring HTTPS and basic security infrastructure. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, and security headers are not evident, indicating room for improvement in security hardening. Privacy compliance is minimal, with no visible privacy or cookie policies or consent mechanisms, which is a significant gap given the nature of the content and data collection. Contact and incident response information are absent, reducing transparency and trust. Overall, the site is functional, well-structured, and professionally designed but requires enhancements in privacy, security policies, and transparency to improve compliance and user trust.

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

5 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 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 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 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

  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 SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

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

The website occupies a niche in the adult media sector as a comprehensive directory and review platform for pornographic sites. Its competitive advantage lies in detailed categorization, extensive listings, and integration of affiliate marketing links. The target audience is adult consumers of online adult content, with a focus on various sub-niches such as fetish, AI-generated content, and live cams. The site shows signs of active content management and SEO optimization, indicating a growth-oriented approach. However, the lack of explicit business contact information and privacy compliance may limit partnerships and user trust. The use of Cloudflare for hosting and domain registration suggests a focus on performance and security, albeit with some gaps. The affiliate ecosystem is broad, linking to many external adult sites, which is the primary revenue stream. Strategic observations include the need to formalize privacy and security policies and improve transparency to enhance credibility and regulatory compliance.

Security posture

The security posture of PornList18.com is moderate. The site benefits from HTTPS encryption and Cloudflare's infrastructure, which provides baseline protection against common web threats. The domain status clientTransferProhibited adds a layer of domain security. However, the absence of DNSSEC reduces DNS security. No security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, or X-Content-Type-Options were detected, which are important for mitigating XSS, clickjacking, and MIME sniffing attacks. The site lacks visible privacy and cookie policies, which is a compliance and security concern. No incident response or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, limiting the ability to handle security incidents effectively. Forms appear limited to search functionality without sensitive data collection, reducing risk exposure. Overall, while no critical vulnerabilities were detected, the site should enhance its security controls and compliance posture to reduce risk and improve trust.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to improve DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website against common attacks.
  4. Provide clear contact information including a dedicated security or abuse email address to improve transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, with integration of third-party libraries such as Font Awesome and HS Mega Menu for UI components. It uses Google Fonts for typography and Google Analytics and Ahrefs Analytics for traffic and SEO analysis. The site is hosted and registered through Cloudflare, providing HTTPS and CDN services. Performance is moderate with a responsive design optimized for mobile devices. SEO is enhanced through meta tags and JSON-LD structured data for search engines. However, the site lacks advanced accessibility features and some security best practices such as security headers. There is no detected CMS, suggesting a custom or static site architecture. Technical debt appears low but modernization opportunities include adding security headers, improving privacy compliance, and enhancing accessibility.
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.
