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

Cushman & Wakefield is a global leader in commercial real estate services, offering a broad portfolio of services including agency leasing, asset services, capital markets, tenant representation, and valuation. Founded in 1917 and headquartered in Chicago, the company operates at an enterprise scale with a workforce of approximately 52,000 employees. The website reflects a mature digital presence with comprehensive content, strong branding, and global reach. Technically, the site uses modern technologies such as jQuery, Google Tag Manager, Vidyard, and Coveo search, and is likely built on the Sitecore CMS platform. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and Content-Security-Policy headers, though some advanced security headers and explicit vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are absent. Privacy compliance is well addressed with cookie consent and privacy policies aligned with GDPR. The WHOIS data is unavailable, which limits domain registration trust analysis, but the overall site professionalism and market presence strongly indicate legitimacy.

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. 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
    • High

      SSL Certificate Expires Soon

      SSL certificate expires in 27 days

      What to do: Renew SSL certificate before expiration

      • NIS2 21(2)(h)
      • IR 2024/2690 9.2(c): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 9.2(c): Cryptography
      • NIST SC-17: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates

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

The company holds a strong market position as a publicly traded entity on the NYSE under the symbol CWK. Its business model focuses on providing comprehensive commercial real estate services to investors, occupiers, and property owners worldwide. The firm leverages a global network and diverse service offerings to maintain competitive advantages. The website's content and structured data highlight key executives, including the CEO Michelle MacKay, and emphasize sustainability and inclusive impact initiatives. The marketing ecosystem includes Pardot for automation and Vidyard for video engagement, supporting lead generation and client outreach. The company targets commercial real estate stakeholders and maintains a consistent brand image across multiple regions and languages.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with enforced HTTPS, a Content-Security-Policy header, and a robust cookie consent mechanism via OneTrust. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, the absence of a published security policy, incident response contact, or vulnerability disclosure page suggests room for improvement in transparency and incident readiness. The site could benefit from additional security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to enhance protection against common web attacks. Overall, the security posture is strong but could be enhanced with more explicit security governance documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and user trust.
  2. Implement a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure program to encourage responsible reporting of security issues.
  3. Add additional HTTP security headers such as HSTS, X-Frame-Options, and X-XSS-Protection to strengthen defense-in-depth.
  4. Ensure all contact information, including security contacts, is clearly available and verified on the website.
  5. Regularly audit third-party scripts and tracking tools to minimize privacy risks and maintain GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a modern technology stack including jQuery 3.6.0, Google Tag Manager for analytics and tag management, Vidyard for video content, and Coveo for search functionality. The presence of Sitecore-related assets suggests the use of a robust enterprise CMS platform. Performance is moderate with good mobile optimization and accessibility features. SEO is well implemented with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and structured JSON-LD schema describing the organization, key personnel, and business details. The site uses multiple third-party domains for marketing, analytics, and social media integration, which are standard for enterprise websites. There is no indication of hosting provider from the HTML content, but the infrastructure appears professionally managed.
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.
