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.

Priority findings

2 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. 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

Remote.com operates in the technology sector focusing on HR SaaS solutions for global payroll and compliance. Their business model is B2B SaaS combined with service offerings, targeting enterprises and large businesses with distributed teams. The company benefits from a strong market position as a leader in global employment solutions, supported by ISO 27001 certification and a broad partner ecosystem. Revenue streams likely include subscription fees and service charges for payroll and compliance management. The website content and branding are consistent and professional, with clear trust signals such as customer testimonials and certifications. The company is headquartered in the United States and founded in 2019, with no parent or subsidiary companies publicly indicated.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security posture with HTTPS enforced and use of Google reCAPTCHA v3 to mitigate automated abuse. Security headers are implied but not explicitly confirmed in the HTML content. No sensitive data exposure or vulnerable libraries were detected in the page source. However, the absence of a dedicated security policy or incident response page and lack of a public vulnerability disclosure program represent areas for improvement. The company holds ISO 27001 certification, indicating a formalized information security management system. Overall, the security maturity is good but could be enhanced by publishing explicit security policies and establishing clear incident response and vulnerability disclosure channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and controls.
  2. Establish and publicize an incident response contact and process for security issues.
  3. Implement and advertise a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  4. Enhance HTTP security headers explicitly including CSP, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options.
  5. Continue to maintain and communicate compliance certifications and privacy practices to build trust.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the HubSpot CMS platform, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries including jQuery and advanced analytics tools such as Google Analytics, Hotjar, Visual Website Optimizer, and RudderStack. The site is hosted on AWS infrastructure with DNS managed by Amazon Route 53. Performance is optimized with asynchronous script loading and mobile responsiveness is excellent. SEO is supported by comprehensive meta tags and hreflang attributes for internationalization. Accessibility features are present but could be further enhanced. The technical stack reflects a mature and scalable infrastructure suitable for a global SaaS business. Opportunities exist to improve security header implementation and formalize security-related documentation.
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.
