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

Gallup, Inc. is a well-established global leader in workplace consulting, public opinion polling, and strengths-based development with over 85 years of experience. The company offers a broad range of services including workplace advisory, CliftonStrengths assessments and coaching, research and polling, and educational courses. Their digital presence includes a proprietary platform (Gallup Access) and extensive research reports, targeting business leaders, HR professionals, and organizations worldwide. Technically, the website employs modern web technologies such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics, FontAwesome, Typekit fonts, and Bootstrap framework, indicating a mature and professional digital infrastructure. The site is mobile-optimized, accessible, and SEO-friendly, providing a positive user experience. From a security perspective, the site uses HTTPS with strong SSL configuration and implements cookie consent mechanisms aligned with privacy regulations. While explicit security headers are not fully confirmed, no vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. The absence of WHOIS data is noted but likely due to privacy protection rather than malicious intent.

Strategic recommendations include enhancing transparency around security policies and incident response, and confirming security header implementations to further strengthen security posture.

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 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

  2. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • 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

  3. 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.

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

Gallup occupies a strong market position as a trusted provider of workplace consulting and global research services. Its competitive advantage lies in proprietary data, long-standing brand recognition, and a comprehensive suite of services including employee engagement, leadership development, and strengths-based coaching. Revenue streams likely include consulting fees, platform subscriptions, assessment sales, and educational courses. The target customer segments are enterprises, government agencies, educational institutions, and individual professionals. The company maintains an active partnership ecosystem and a robust social media presence, supporting growth and brand engagement.

Security posture

Gallup's security posture is solid with enforced HTTPS, cookie consent mechanisms, and no visible vulnerabilities or sensitive data exposure. However, explicit security policies, incident response contacts, and vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are not found, indicating areas for improvement. The site appears compliant with GDPR and privacy regulations, but formal security framework certifications or policies are not disclosed. Overall, the security maturity is good but could benefit from enhanced transparency and formalized security documentation.

Recommendations

  1. Publish explicit security policies and incident response procedures on the website.
  2. Implement and disclose a vulnerability disclosure program or security.txt file.
  3. Verify and enforce comprehensive security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options.
  4. Enhance contact information with direct security or abuse reporting channels.
  5. Maintain and communicate data retention and privacy compliance policies clearly.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a custom CMS platform leveraging modern front-end technologies including Bootstrap, FontAwesome, and Typekit fonts. It integrates Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics for tracking and marketing insights. The site is mobile-responsive, accessible, and optimized for SEO. Performance is moderate with room for optimization. No legacy or vulnerable libraries were detected. Technical risks are minimal but continuous monitoring and updates are recommended to maintain security and performance standards.
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.
