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

The Porn List is an adult content directory website that curates and indexes a wide range of pornographic sites, including free porn tube sites, live cam platforms, AI porn chatbots, taboo content, and adult dating services. Established in 1997, the website has a long-standing presence in the adult entertainment niche, offering users a comprehensive and categorized listing of adult websites for the year 2025. The business model primarily revolves around affiliate referrals and content aggregation, targeting adult users seeking safe and tested adult entertainment options. Technically, the website is built on WordPress, utilizing popular frameworks and plugins such as Bootstrap, jQuery, Yoast SEO, and WP Rocket for performance optimization. The site is hosted with domain registration through GoDaddy and uses Cloudflare DNS servers, providing some level of security and performance enhancement. The website is mobile-optimized and offers a good user experience with clear navigation and categorized content. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS and has domain status protections to prevent unauthorized changes. However, it lacks DNSSEC and explicit security headers, which are recommended for enhanced security. There are no visible privacy or cookie policies, nor contact or incident response information, which are gaps in compliance and transparency. Overall, the website is functional and serves its niche well but would benefit from improved privacy compliance, security headers, and clearer business transparency to enhance trust and security posture.

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.

Priority findings

7 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 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

    • 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

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 Porn List occupies a niche position as a curated adult content directory, leveraging its long domain history and extensive listings to attract adult users seeking a safe and comprehensive index of pornographic websites. Its competitive advantage lies in the breadth of categories covered, including emerging areas like AI porn chatbots and mobile-optimized sites. The business likely generates revenue through affiliate marketing and advertising partnerships with listed adult sites. The target audience is adults interested in adult entertainment, with a focus on safe and tested sites. Growth indicators include continuous updates and inclusion of new categories for 2025. The partnership ecosystem includes numerous adult content providers and cam sites. Strategic observations suggest focusing on compliance and security improvements to maintain user trust and regulatory adherence.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enabled and domain status protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options indicates room for improvement. The lack of privacy and cookie policies and incident response contacts represents compliance gaps, particularly under GDPR and similar regulations. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the provided data. Incident response readiness appears minimal due to missing contact channels. The security culture is not explicitly evident from the site content. Addressing these gaps would reduce risk and improve the overall security posture.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement standard security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  3. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with clear GDPR compliance statements.
  4. Add clear contact information including security incident response contacts (e.g., security@ or abuse@ emails).
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party libraries and plugins to mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform with Bootstrap for responsive design and jQuery for interactivity. It uses caching and optimization plugins like WP Rocket to improve performance. The site loads a variety of external resources including fonts from Google Fonts and scripts for UI enhancements. The hosting setup includes GoDaddy as registrar and Cloudflare DNS, but no DNSSEC. Performance is moderate with some lazy loading and caching techniques. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and viewport meta tags. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Accessibility is basic with some ARIA roles and alt attributes but could be improved. Technical risks include missing security headers and lack of DNSSEC. Modernization opportunities include adopting HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 and improving accessibility compliance.
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.
