Risk levelMedium

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

Eficiens is a specialized digital agency focused on the insurance sector, providing services such as website creation and redesign, UX design for insurance quote and subscription journeys, maintenance, email marketing, and digital advertising. The company holds a strong market position in France as a leading digital agency dedicated to insurance and related financial services. Their client portfolio includes major insurance and mutual companies, supported by positive client testimonials and a high customer satisfaction rating. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with modern JavaScript libraries and SEO optimizations, but lacks a valid SSL certificate, which is a critical security gap. The absence of HTTPS and security headers exposes the site to potential risks and undermines user trust. Privacy compliance is well addressed with a clear privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism. Overall, the site demonstrates professional design and content quality but requires urgent security improvements to align with best practices.

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

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 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 in the niche market of digital services for insurance companies and mutuals, leveraging a service agency business model. Their competitive advantage lies in their sector specialization, strong client references, and comprehensive service offerings from UX design to digital marketing. The company targets insurance providers and brokers seeking digital transformation and customer engagement solutions. The presence of a dedicated media site (digital-et-assurance.com) indicates a broader ecosystem engagement. Growth indicators include recent case studies and active content updates. Partnerships and client logos suggest a well-established network. However, the lack of direct contact emails and phone numbers on the main site may limit immediate lead capture. The company appears medium-sized, founded in 2017, with a consistent brand and strong trust signals.

Security posture

The current security posture of Eficiens.com is weak due to the absence of a valid SSL certificate and HTTPS support, which is a critical vulnerability for any modern website, especially one dealing with client data and digital services. The server runs Apache/2 with no advanced security headers configured, and no HSTS policy is enforced. While no known SSL vulnerabilities or subdomain takeover risks are detected, the lack of encryption exposes users to data interception and undermines trust. No explicit security or incident response policies are published, and no vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present. The cookie consent mechanism is implemented, indicating some privacy awareness. Overall, the site requires immediate remediation of SSL/TLS issues and enhancement of security headers to improve its security maturity and compliance posture.

Recommendations

  1. Install and configure a valid SSL certificate to enable HTTPS across the entire site.
  2. Implement HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) with includeSubDomains and preload directives.
  3. Add essential security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-XSS-Protection, and Referrer-Policy.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress CMS with a modern front-end stack including jQuery, GSAP for animations, Swiper for sliders, and Algolia for search functionality. SEO is enhanced using Yoast SEO Premium with structured data (JSON-LD) for rich snippets. Hosting is inferred to be OVH based on DNS records. Performance metrics are not available, but the site uses WP Rocket for caching and optimization. Mobile optimization is good with responsive design and appropriate meta viewport settings. Accessibility is basic but present. The lack of HTTPS and security headers is a significant technical risk. The site uses multiple external resources from trusted CDNs and integrates Google Tag Manager for analytics and tracking. Overall, the technical infrastructure is modern but requires security hardening and performance monitoring.
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.
