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

3 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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS encryption

      GDPR requires appropriate security measures for personal data

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate for HTTPS

  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.

    • Critical

      No HTTPS Encryption

      Website does not use HTTPS encryption, making all data transmission vulnerable to interception

      What to do: Implement SSL/TLS certificate and redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS

  3. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • High

      High-Risk Service Exposed: FTP

      Port 21 (FTP) is publicly accessible - FTP - Often unencrypted file transfer

      What to do: Consider restricting access to FTP or implementing strong authentication

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection

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

EIFFEL operates in the government and commercial consultancy sectors, offering interim staffing and project management services. Their market positioning is strong, supported by partnerships and subsidiaries such as Palladio and Care Effect. The company targets organizations in local and national government, semi-public sectors, and commercial clients. Their business model focuses on flexible capacity and consultancy solutions, with a clear emphasis on legal and financial expertise. The presence of client logos and certifications enhances credibility. Growth indicators include recent acquisitions and active event hosting, signaling a dynamic and expanding business.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and cookie consent implemented via Cookiebot. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the source. However, the absence of explicit security headers like Content-Security-Policy and lack of publicly available security or incident response policies indicate areas for enhancement. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files were found, which could improve transparency and trust. Overall, the security posture is adequate for a consultancy website but could benefit from formalized policies and additional technical controls.

Recommendations

  1. Implement comprehensive security headers including Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information on the website.
  3. Conduct regular audits of third-party scripts and dependencies to mitigate vulnerabilities.
  4. Enhance accessibility features to improve compliance and user experience.
  5. Consider adding a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to increase transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern JavaScript framework (Nuxt.js/Vue.js) with integration of jQuery and jQuery UI for UI components. It uses Google Tag Manager and Cookiebot for analytics and consent management. The site is mobile-optimized with responsive design and preloads critical fonts and scripts for performance. Hosting details are not explicit, but the site loads resources from multiple trusted CDNs. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. The CMS appears custom or headless, supporting dynamic content and structured data. Technical risks are minimal but include reliance on multiple third-party scripts which require ongoing security 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.
