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

Eficiens is a specialized digital agency focused on the insurance, complementary health, and provident sectors in France. The company offers a range of services including website creation and redesign, UX design for subscription journeys, maintenance, hosting, email marketing, and digital advertising. Positioned as the leading digital agency dedicated to insurance, Eficiens serves notable clients such as Klésia, MACSF, Harmonie Mutuelle, Groupama, AXA, and VIA Santé. The website reflects a professional and consistent brand image with excellent content quality and user experience. Technically, the site is built on WordPress, leveraging modern JavaScript libraries such as jQuery, GSAP, Swiper, and Algolia for search functionality. It is hosted on OVH with Apache server and uses WP Rocket for performance optimization. The site supports TLS 1.3 and 1.2 protocols, ensuring secure HTTPS connections. SEO is well implemented with Yoast SEO plugin and structured data in JSON-LD format. Mobile optimization is good, though accessibility features are basic. From a security perspective, the site has a valid SPF record and no critical vulnerabilities like Heartbleed or FREAK. However, it lacks HSTS, OCSP stapling, DMARC, DNSSEC, and CAA records, which are recommended to enhance security posture. Privacy compliance is basic with a privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism present, but no explicit GDPR compliance indicators or data protection officer information found. Overall, Eficiens presents a strong business and technical profile with room for security and privacy improvements. The risk level is moderate with no critical issues detected. Strategic recommendations include enabling HSTS, adding DMARC and DNSSEC, improving certificate transparency, and enhancing privacy compliance to strengthen trust and security culture.

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

8 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

      What to do: Add "X-Frame-Options: DENY" or "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN"

    • 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

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

Eficiens operates as a niche digital agency serving the insurance and healthcare sectors, leveraging deep industry expertise to differentiate itself. Its business model focuses on providing end-to-end digital solutions including UX design, website development, and digital marketing tailored to insurance clients. The company maintains a strong market position as the number one digital agency dedicated to insurance in France, supported by a portfolio of reputable clients and positive testimonials. The partnership with the media site digital-et-assurance.com extends its influence in the insurtech ecosystem. Growth indicators include recent project case studies and active content marketing. The agency's use of modern technologies and SEO tools supports its competitive advantage. However, the absence of explicit certifications or security policies may limit appeal to highly regulated clients. The company appears small-sized but well-positioned within its niche.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a moderate security maturity level with HTTPS enforced and no critical vulnerabilities detected. The presence of a valid SPF record helps protect against email spoofing. However, the lack of HSTS leaves the site vulnerable to protocol downgrade and cookie hijacking attacks. Missing DMARC and DNSSEC records reduce email and DNS security respectively. The absence of OCSP stapling may impact certificate revocation checks. No security policy or incident response information is publicly available, indicating limited transparency in security governance. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were found. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a small digital agency but requires enhancements to meet best practices and regulatory expectations, especially given the insurance sector focus.

Recommendations

  1. Enable HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload to enforce HTTPS and protect against downgrade attacks.
  2. Implement DMARC policy to improve email authentication and reduce phishing risks.
  3. Deploy DNSSEC to secure DNS queries and prevent spoofing.
  4. Enable OCSP stapling on the web server to improve SSL certificate revocation checking performance and reliability.
  5. Improve certificate transparency compliance by ensuring certificates are logged in public CT logs.
  6. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to enhance transparency and trust.
  7. Enhance privacy compliance by explicitly addressing GDPR requirements and appointing a Data Protection Officer if applicable.
  8. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans to proactively identify and remediate risks.
  9. Improve accessibility features to broaden user inclusivity.
  10. Maintain and update third-party libraries and plugins to avoid vulnerabilities.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern technology stack including jQuery, GSAP for animations, Swiper for sliders, and Algolia for search autocomplete. It uses Apache web server hosted on OVH infrastructure. Performance optimization is handled by WP Rocket caching plugin. SEO is enhanced with Yoast SEO Premium and structured data in JSON-LD format. The site supports TLS 1.3 and 1.2 protocols ensuring secure connections. DNS records are properly configured with SPF for email. However, DNSSEC and CAA records are missing. The site is mobile optimized with responsive design and uses multiple favicon sizes for various platforms. External resources are loaded from trusted CDNs. Overall, the technical infrastructure is solid but could benefit from additional security enhancements and accessibility improvements.
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.
