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

Health Carousel International operates the PassportUSA program, a leading international healthcare staffing agency specializing in connecting skilled nurses and healthcare professionals with top US healthcare facilities. The company holds a strong market position as the largest international nurse staffing firm in the US, supported by multiple industry certifications and awards. Their services include visa sponsorship, career advancement, and ethical recruitment practices, targeting internationally trained healthcare professionals seeking US careers. Technically, the website is built on a modern stack including Webflow CMS, HubSpot, Segment Analytics, and various JavaScript libraries for enhanced user experience and analytics. The site is well-optimized for performance, mobile responsiveness, and SEO, with extensive tracking and marketing tools integrated. Security posture is strong with HTTPS, security headers, and secure form handling, though formal security policies and incident response contacts are not publicly disclosed. Overall, the website demonstrates a mature digital presence with professional design, comprehensive content, and strong trust indicators. The lack of WHOIS data reduces transparency but is likely due to privacy protection. No security vulnerabilities or suspicious content were detected, indicating a low risk profile. Strategic recommendations include publishing security policies, adding vulnerability disclosure mechanisms, and enhancing accessibility features.

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

4 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"

    • 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 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

PassportUSA is positioned as a market leader in international nurse staffing, leveraging a business model focused on ethical recruitment and visa sponsorship to address critical US healthcare workforce shortages. Their revenue streams likely include staffing contracts with healthcare facilities and ancillary services such as career coaching. The company targets international nurses and healthcare professionals, offering a clear pathway to US employment. Partnerships with industry associations and participation in global events enhance their ecosystem and brand credibility. Growth indicators include recent awards and a large network of placements. The company operates under the Health Carousel parent brand, with subsidiaries supporting regional operations.

Security posture

The website exhibits a high level of security maturity with enforced HTTPS, comprehensive security headers, and secure integration of third-party analytics and marketing tools. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were identified. However, the absence of a public security policy, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure channels indicates room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. Data protection practices appear aligned with GDPR compliance, supported by cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies. The extensive use of tracking scripts suggests a need for ongoing monitoring to mitigate third-party risks. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from formal documentation and communication of security practices.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  3. Provide clear incident response contact information for security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize security risks.
  5. Enhance website accessibility to meet higher standards and improve user inclusivity.

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.
