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

4 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. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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 business model revolves around free access to adult videos supplemented by premium content and live cam services, monetized through advertising networks like TrafficStars and affiliate programs. The platform serves a global adult audience with localized language options and extensive content categories. Partnerships with related domains such as xHamsterLive and FapHouse expand its ecosystem. The company shows growth indicators through diversified services including NFT ventures. The lack of direct public contact emails or phone numbers suggests a focus on web-based customer interaction and abuse reporting. The site maintains GDPR compliance and provides clear legal documentation, supporting its credibility in regulated markets.

Security posture

xHamster exhibits a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced site-wide, presence of key security headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options), and cookie consent mechanisms. The site includes age verification to restrict access to minors. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, there is no explicit public vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file, which could enhance transparency. Incident response contact is available via abuse reporting forms. Recommendations include formalizing vulnerability disclosure policies and enhancing accessibility compliance. Overall, the platform balances user privacy, security, and regulatory compliance effectively.

Recommendations

  1. Implement and publish a formal vulnerability disclosure policy and security.txt file.
  2. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards for users with disabilities.
  3. Increase transparency by providing direct security contact information and incident response plans.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and advertising networks to minimize tracking risks.
  5. Continue monitoring and updating security headers and SSL configurations to maintain best practices.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a modern tech stack with JavaScript-heavy front-end likely based on React or similar frameworks, leveraging HLS.js for video streaming and AV1 codec for trailers. It employs Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing analytics. Hosting is provided by Hetzner Online GmbH, a reputable provider. The site is optimized for desktop and mobile with responsive design and uses WebP images for performance. SEO is supported by proper meta tags and canonical URLs. No CMS was detected, indicating a custom-built platform tailored for adult content delivery. Performance is fast with good caching and preconnect hints. Technical risks include reliance on multiple third-party ad and tracking services which require ongoing security vigilance.
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.
