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

Proantic.com operates as a leading online marketplace specializing in antiques and art objects, primarily serving professional antique dealers and buyers in France and Europe. The platform offers a comprehensive catalog of antiques including furniture, paintings, and decorative arts, supported by a magazine and buyer/seller account management features. The website is professionally designed with multilingual support and clear navigation, targeting a niche market of antique enthusiasts and professionals. Technically, the site employs modern web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, and Webflow, with integrations for Google Analytics and Mailchimp for marketing and analytics purposes. The site is mobile optimized and demonstrates good SEO practices, although accessibility features are basic. Performance is moderate, with room for optimization. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and uses cookie consent mechanisms with secure flags and IP anonymization for analytics, reflecting a good privacy posture. However, it lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response information, which are recommended for enhanced trust and compliance. The WHOIS data is not publicly available, indicating privacy protection but reducing transparency. Overall, Proantic.com presents a trustworthy and professional platform with solid business credibility and privacy compliance. Strategic improvements in security transparency and WHOIS data disclosure could further 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.

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. 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

    • High

      Third-party services without privacy policy

      Detected services: Google Analytics, Facebook, Google APIs

      What to do: Document all third-party data sharing in your privacy policy

  2. 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

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

Proantic.com holds a strong market position as a specialized online marketplace for antiques in France and Europe, catering to professional antique dealers and discerning buyers. Its business model revolves around connecting sellers and buyers through an exclusive platform, supplemented by editorial content via its magazine. The company leverages partnerships with regional sites such as proantic.it to expand its reach. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees for dealers, commissions on sales, and advertising. The platform's growth is supported by a consistent flow of new listings and active community engagement through newsletters and social media. The absence of direct phone contact suggests a digital-first customer service approach. The company demonstrates a mature digital presence but could benefit from enhanced transparency in domain registration and security policies to strengthen competitive advantage.

Security posture

The website exhibits a moderate to good security maturity level, with HTTPS enforced and privacy-conscious analytics implementation including IP anonymization and cookie consent. The presence of secure cookie flags and GDPR-compliant privacy policies indicates awareness of data protection requirements. However, the absence of key security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and lack of published incident response or vulnerability disclosure policies represent gaps in security best practices. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the HTML content. The missing WHOIS data reduces transparency and could be perceived as a risk factor. Overall, the security posture is adequate for the business type but would benefit from formalized security documentation and enhanced header configurations.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response plan on the website to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to prevent vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to meet recognized standards and improve user experience for all visitors.
  5. Consider publishing a security.txt file to facilitate responsible vulnerability disclosure and improve security culture.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a combination of modern front-end technologies including HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and jQuery, with Webflow used as a design and hosting platform. Integration with Google Analytics and Mailchimp supports marketing and analytics functions. The site is mobile responsive with good SEO metadata and multilingual support. Performance is moderate, with some deferred CSS loading and image lazy loading implemented. Accessibility is basic, with some ARIA labels and form labels present but could be improved. No CMS other than Webflow is detected, indicating a custom or semi-custom solution. Hosting provider details are not explicitly found. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from enhanced security configurations and performance optimizations.
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.
