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

Cushman & Wakefield is a global leader in commercial real estate services, offering a broad range of services including agency leasing, asset services, capital markets, tenant representation, valuation, and advisory. The company targets commercial real estate clients, investors, and occupiers worldwide, positioning itself as a top-tier enterprise in the real estate sector. The website reflects this stature with professional design, comprehensive content, and consistent branding. Technically, the website leverages modern technologies such as jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Vidyard video player, and Coveo search platform integrated with Sitecore CMS. It demonstrates good mobile optimization, accessibility, and SEO practices, although some opportunities exist for enhanced security headers and performance tuning. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and implements a Content-Security-Policy header, alongside a robust cookie consent mechanism via OneTrust. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of a public security policy or incident response contact is noted. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which is unusual but does not detract significantly from the site's legitimacy given the brand's global presence and trust signals. Overall, the website is professional, secure, and compliant with privacy regulations, making it a trustworthy platform for its users. Strategic recommendations include enhancing security headers, publishing a security policy, and improving WHOIS transparency.

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. Email security

    SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

      What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"

  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

Cushman & Wakefield operates as a global commercial real estate services provider with a diversified service portfolio targeting institutional investors, occupiers, and developers. Its competitive advantage lies in its global footprint, comprehensive service offerings, and strong brand recognition. The business model is service-oriented, generating revenue through brokerage, advisory, and asset management fees. The company maintains a strong partnership ecosystem and leverages digital marketing and analytics tools to support growth. The website content and structure indicate a mature digital presence aligned with enterprise standards.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement, Content-Security-Policy header, and use of a consent management platform. No critical vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposures were found. However, the lack of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. The use of multiple third-party scripts necessitates ongoing security audits to mitigate supply chain risks. Overall, the security posture is strong but could benefit from enhanced documentation and additional security headers.

Recommendations

  1. Implement additional security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to strengthen browser security.
  2. Publish a clear security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and user trust.
  3. Establish a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to facilitate responsible reporting of security issues.
  4. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  5. Improve WHOIS data transparency to align domain registration information with corporate identity.

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including Sitecore CMS, jQuery, Coveo search, and integrates video and marketing platforms such as Vidyard and Pardot. Performance is moderate with good mobile responsiveness and accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph, and structured data.

Hosting provider details are not explicitly identified.
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.
