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

The Harris Poll UK is a well-established market research company focused on delivering customer experience and customer closeness insights to blue-chip clients in the UK. The company leverages proprietary real-time technology and behavioral tools to provide actionable data and advisory services. Their market position is strengthened by their affiliation with the Stagwell network and a 25-year track record in the industry. Technically, the website is built on Squarespace, employing modern web technologies including Google Analytics and reCAPTCHA Enterprise for security and analytics. The site is well-optimized for mobile and accessibility, with good SEO practices. Security posture is strong with HTTPS and HSTS enabled, though explicit security policies and incident response information are absent. WHOIS data is unavailable due to domain naming rules, which slightly impacts trust but the website content and branding suggest legitimacy. Overall, the site presents a professional and trustworthy digital presence suitable for its target audience.

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. 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.

    • Critical

      No email authentication configured

      Domain is vulnerable to email spoofing

      What to do: Implement SPF, DKIM, and DMARC immediately

    • High

      No SPF record found

      SPF helps prevent email spoofing

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

  2. 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 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';…

  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

The company targets UK-based large enterprises and blue-chip brands seeking advanced market research and customer insights. Their business model combines proprietary technology with advisory and analytics services, positioning them as a strategic partner in customer strategy alignment. The affiliation with Stagwell network adds credibility and potential resource backing. The website content highlights their expertise, technology, and client focus, indicating a mature and specialized service offering. The absence of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the homepage suggests a controlled communication channel, likely via contact forms. The company maintains a consistent brand identity and provides multiple content channels including blogs and papers to engage their audience.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enforced and HSTS enabled, protecting data in transit. Use of Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise on forms mitigates automated abuse risks. However, the absence of explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms indicates room for improvement in transparency and preparedness. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the content. The security score is good but could be enhanced by publishing detailed security and incident response information and providing dedicated security contact channels.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response page to improve transparency and trust.
  2. Add explicit contact emails for security and abuse reporting to facilitate incident handling.
  3. Implement a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Enhance privacy compliance by detailing data retention policies and cookie usage specifics.
  5. Regularly review and update WHOIS information to ensure domain registration transparency.

Notes

The website is hosted on Squarespace, a reputable platform providing reliable hosting and CMS capabilities. The tech stack includes Google Analytics and Tag Manager for analytics, and Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise for form security. The site uses modern CSS and JavaScript, with responsive design and accessibility features. Performance is moderate, typical for a Squarespace site with rich media content. The site includes structured data (JSON-LD) for SEO and social media integration via Open Graph tags. There is no evidence of outdated or vulnerable libraries. Overall, the technical implementation supports a professional and secure user experience with opportunities for further optimization.
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.
