I am connecting to office two days per week using Remote access on windows XP
SP2 on both machines. Should I be concerned about security?

Greetings,

RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) is encrypted. There are some security enhancements in Vista
for RDP, but generally it's secure.

I wouldn't be too worried about it, it's not a very easy attack vector.
