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

The Porn List is an adult content directory website that curates and categorizes over 2000 pornographic sites, including premium paysites and free tube sites. It targets adult users seeking a comprehensive and organized portal to access various types of adult content. The business model is primarily affiliate marketing, linking users to external adult content providers. The website is built on WordPress with multilingual support and uses several advertising and tracking networks to monetize traffic. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies and is moderately optimized for performance and mobile devices. Security posture is adequate with HTTPS enabled but lacks important security headers and formal privacy or incident response policies. The absence of WHOIS registration data raises concerns about domain legitimacy and trustworthiness. Overall, the site functions well as an adult content aggregator but has significant gaps in privacy, compliance, and transparency that impact its credibility and security.

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. 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 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

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 Porn List occupies a niche in the adult media sector as a curated directory and review platform. Its competitive advantage lies in the extensive categorization and multilingual support, appealing to a global adult audience. Revenue streams are mainly affiliate commissions from premium adult sites and advertising networks. The site shows growth potential through its large content base and partnerships with known adult networks. However, the lack of visible company contact information and privacy policies may hinder trust and regulatory compliance. Strategic partnerships with major adult content providers enhance its market position, but the business should improve transparency and compliance to sustain growth and reduce risk.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enforced and no visible exposure of sensitive data in the HTML. However, it lacks critical security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which are important for mitigating common web attacks. There is no evidence of a formal security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure mechanism. The absence of privacy and cookie policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations. The missing WHOIS registration data is a major concern, suggesting potential domain registration issues or privacy protection that is not properly documented. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, with significant room for improvement in compliance, transparency, and technical defenses.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with user consent mechanisms to comply with GDPR and other regulations.
  2. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to enhance protection against common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Provide clear contact information including a dedicated security or abuse email address to improve incident response readiness.
  4. Verify and update WHOIS registration details to ensure domain legitimacy and improve trustworthiness.
  5. Conduct regular security audits of third-party scripts and plugins to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Suffusion theme and several plugins including WPML for multilingual support. It uses jQuery and deferred JavaScript loading to optimize performance. Analytics are handled via Matomo, and Google Tag Manager is also implemented. The site is served over HTTPS with valid SSL certificates, indicating good baseline security. Performance is moderate with some optimization for mobile devices. SEO is supported with proper meta tags and structured data in JSON-LD format. However, the site lacks advanced security headers and formal privacy or compliance frameworks. Hosting provider details are not evident from the HTML content. Overall, the technical infrastructure is standard for a content-driven WordPress site but could benefit from enhanced security and compliance 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.
