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

BOMA International is a well-established trade association and credential provider serving the commercial real estate industry in North America. The organization offers a comprehensive suite of educational programs, advocacy services, building recognition programs, and member benefits designed to support property owners, managers, and service providers. The website reflects a mature digital presence with rich content, clear navigation, and strong branding consistency. Technically, the site is built on WordPress with modern plugins and tracking technologies, delivering a good user experience with mobile optimization and SEO best practices. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and domain transfer protections, though improvements such as enabling DNSSEC and implementing Content-Security-Policy headers are recommended. Privacy compliance is addressed with visible privacy and cookie policies and consent mechanisms, but the extensive use of third-party trackers suggests room for enhanced privacy controls. Overall, the domain registration data and website content align well, supporting a high legitimacy score and trustworthiness.

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

7 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 Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V3.4.1
    • 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

    • High

      No Cookie Consent Banner found

      GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies

      What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit

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

Business profile

BOMA International holds a leading position in the commercial real estate sector as both a trade association and educational credential provider. Its business model focuses on membership services, professional development, advocacy, and industry events. The organization targets commercial real estate professionals across multiple asset classes and leverages partnerships with platforms like Salesforce and legislative action centers to enhance member engagement. The website's content and structure indicate a focus on growth, leadership, and connection within the industry, supported by a large membership base and extensive credentials earned. The presence of cornerstone partners and a member savings program further strengthens its ecosystem. The company operates primarily in the US with a large organizational size and a history dating back to 1995.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a good security baseline with HTTPS enforced and domain transfer protections in place. However, the absence of DNSSEC and Content-Security-Policy headers represents potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited. The use of multiple third-party tracking and advertising scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risks. No exposed sensitive data or critical vulnerabilities were detected in the content. The lack of a public security policy or incident response contact limits transparency in security governance. Overall, the security posture is adequate but could be enhanced by adopting additional DNS and HTTP security measures and reducing third-party tracking exposure.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to protect against DNS spoofing and improve domain security.
  2. Implement a strict Content-Security-Policy header to mitigate cross-site scripting and related attacks.
  3. Conduct a review and minimize third-party tracking scripts to enhance user privacy and reduce risk.
  4. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Regularly audit and update all third-party libraries and plugins to avoid vulnerabilities.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using modern frameworks such as Genesis Blocks and Beaver Builder, with Yoast SEO for optimization. It integrates multiple analytics and marketing tools including Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Facebook Pixel, LinkedIn Insight, and Salesforce Embedded Messaging. The site uses standard web fonts from Google Fonts and serves images with responsive techniques. Performance is moderate with some caching and asset cleanup evident. Mobile optimization and accessibility features are well implemented. Hosting details are not explicit but the domain registrar is Network Solutions, LLC. The site uses multiple ad placements via Adzerk and AppNexus. Overall, the technical infrastructure is robust but could benefit from enhanced security headers and performance tuning.
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.
