Remote People Achieves an A+ in Security Audit by Astra Security

Remote People, a leading global Employer of Record (EOR) platform based in New York, has been awarded an impressive A+ rating from Astra Security after successfully passing its annual in-depth security audit. This certification, valid until June 25, 2027, signifies the platform's commitment to ensuring the utmost security for its users and their sensitive data.

Operating in over 150 countries, Remote People’s platform, accessible at app.remotepeople.com, manages essential employment functions including contracts, payroll, tax identification numbers, and banking details for thousands of employees. Given the nature of its operations, security is paramount. It is noteworthy that the recent audit incorporated AI-assisted vulnerability discovery techniques, elevating the testing standards beyond traditional methods.

Astra Security implemented a more stringent testing methodology this year, aiming to identify a broader range of potential security issues. In response, Remote People’s engineering team utilized AI-augmented remediation tools to address vulnerabilities. Most were resolved within a week, ensuring that critical product development was not hindered. Following swift action, only minor concerns remained, leading to the organization achieving the coveted A+ grade.

Antoine Boquen, CEO of Remote People, emphasized the responsibility of EOR platforms which hold significant amounts of sensitive data. “Security isn’t a mere checkbox on a compliance list for us; it's a fundamental promise to our clients and their employees,” he stated.

Adding to its credentials, Remote People already holds several security certifications, including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and GDPR compliance. As part of their proactive approach to security, the company plans to conduct a second, more aggressive independent audit before the end of 2026, utilizing the capabilities of frontier AI models to identify software vulnerabilities at scale.

Boquen reiterated the company's resolve to maintain high-security standards in the fast-evolving landscape of digital threats. He remarked, “An A+ from Astra Security is a significant milestone, but we are aware that the bar is continuously rising, which is why we are committed to understanding and addressing these challenges head-on.”
