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. 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 X-Frame-Options header

      Prevents clickjacking attacks

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

  2. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

  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 Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1

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

Deel operates in the technology sector, providing essential HR and payroll services globally. Its SaaS business model focuses on simplifying international workforce management, a growing market segment due to increasing remote work and globalization. The company leverages partnerships and integrations with marketing and analytics platforms to optimize customer acquisition and retention. While no explicit revenue or subsidiary data was found, the large scale of operations and extensive country coverage indicate a large enterprise. The company maintains consistent branding and professional content, reinforcing market trust. Competitive advantages include broad geographic coverage, compliance automation, and integrated payroll services. The target customer segment includes medium to large businesses with international teams. Strategic observations suggest potential growth through expanding compliance features and enhancing security transparency.

Security posture

Deel's website employs strong security fundamentals including HTTPS, security headers like HSTS, CSP, and X-Frame-Options, and secure form handling. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the analyzed content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response plan, or vulnerability disclosure program limits transparency and may impact customer confidence. There is no security.txt file or dedicated security contact found. Privacy policies are comprehensive and GDPR compliant, indicating good data protection practices. The security score is high but could be improved by publishing explicit security governance documents and incident response contacts. Overall, the security posture is mature but lacks some transparency elements expected from enterprise SaaS providers.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response plan on the website to enhance transparency.
  2. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Add explicit contact channels for security incidents such as security@ or abuse@ email addresses.
  4. Consider obtaining and displaying recognized security certifications (e.g., ISO 27001) to strengthen trust.
  5. Regularly review and update privacy and cookie policies to maintain compliance with evolving regulations.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern React and Next.js framework, leveraging Material UI for design consistency. It integrates multiple third-party analytics and marketing tools including Google Tag Manager, Amplitude, HubSpot, Clearbit, and Optimizely, indicating a sophisticated digital marketing and data analytics strategy. Performance is optimized with preloading fonts and scripts, and the site is mobile responsive with good accessibility features. No CMS was detected, suggesting a custom or headless architecture. Hosting provider details are not explicit but likely cloud-based given the use of CDN and global script sources. The technical stack supports scalability and fast user experience. Opportunities exist to improve technical documentation and security disclosures to reduce technical debt and enhance stakeholder confidence.
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.
