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

RedTube is a large-scale adult media platform offering free streaming of pornographic videos with a broad catalog including categories, pornstars, and live cams. The site operates on an advertising-supported business model with premium upsell options. Technically, the site uses modern JavaScript libraries, lazy loading, and integrates multiple ad networks and tracking services. The website is accessible, mobile-optimized, and includes privacy and cookie policies compliant with GDPR. Security posture is good with HTTPS and age verification, but lacks some explicit security headers like CSP and X-Frame-Options. WHOIS data is unavailable or privacy protected, which is typical for adult content sites but reduces transparency. Overall, the site is professional and trustworthy within its industry context.

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

6 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

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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 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. 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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

RedTube holds a strong market position as a leading free adult video streaming service targeting adult consumers worldwide. Its revenue streams primarily come from advertising and premium content upsells. The platform integrates with partner sites such as live cam services and uses major ad networks like TrafficJunky. The site supports multiple languages and regions, indicating a global audience. The lack of direct contact information and WHOIS transparency is common in this sector due to privacy concerns. The business model focuses on high traffic volume and user engagement through personalized recommendations and community features.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and includes an age verification modal to restrict underage access, which are positive security controls. However, the absence of explicit Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options headers presents potential risks such as cross-site scripting and clickjacking. The site uses multiple third-party scripts and ad networks, which require ongoing security audits to mitigate supply chain risks. No public security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure programs were found, indicating room for improvement in transparency and security culture. Privacy compliance is supported by cookie consent mechanisms and GDPR-aligned policies.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and enforce a strict Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate XSS risks.
  2. Add X-Frame-Options or equivalent frame-ancestors directive to prevent clickjacking.
  3. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency.
  4. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  5. Regularly review third-party scripts and ad networks for security vulnerabilities and privacy compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern JavaScript stack including jQuery 2.1.3, lazy loading libraries, and HLS.js for video streaming. It integrates Google Tag Manager and multiple ad networks for monetization. The site is responsive and optimized for PC, mobile, and tablet platforms. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. Performance is moderate, with some potential improvements in script loading and caching. Accessibility features are basic and could be enhanced for compliance with standards. Hosting and CMS details are not explicitly identified from the content.
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.
