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

PollQR is a small US-based technology company founded in 2024 that offers a SaaS platform focused on QR code surveys and live polling solutions for businesses such as restaurants, retail stores, and presenters. The platform provides tools for customer feedback collection, real-time analytics, Net Promoter Score tracking, and AI-powered sentiment analysis. The website is professionally designed with excellent content quality, mobile optimization, and clear navigation, reflecting a mature digital presence. Technically, the site uses modern frameworks like React and Next.js, hosted on Vercel, and integrates common analytics and marketing tools such as Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel. Security posture is generally good with HTTPS and domain transfer protection, but lacks DNSSEC and security headers, and does not publish security or privacy policies. The WHOIS data shows a suspicious future domain creation date, which may be a data anomaly but warrants monitoring. Overall, the site is safe, business-focused, and trustworthy, though improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency are recommended.

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

9 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

  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 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';…

  3. GDPR outside view

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

    • High

      No Privacy Policy found

      GDPR requires a clear and accessible privacy policy

      What to do: Add a comprehensive privacy policy page and link to it prominently

    • 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

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

PollQR occupies a niche market providing QR code-based customer feedback and live polling tools, targeting small business owners and presenters. Its competitive advantage lies in combining survey generation with AI-powered insights and live audience engagement features. The business model is subscription-based with free trials, appealing to SMBs in hospitality and retail sectors. The company demonstrates growth potential through its modern platform and positive user ratings. The lack of direct contact emails or phone numbers on the site suggests a lean operation. No partnerships or subsidiaries are evident. The company maintains consistent branding and leverages structured data for SEO, enhancing market visibility.

Security posture

The website enforces HTTPS and has domain transfer protection, indicating basic security hygiene. However, the absence of DNSSEC and security headers such as Content-Security-Policy or X-Frame-Options reduces defense-in-depth. No published security policies, incident response contacts, or vulnerability disclosure mechanisms are present, which limits transparency and preparedness. Tracking scripts from Google and Facebook are used without visible cookie consent, raising privacy compliance concerns. The suspicious WHOIS domain creation date in the future is an anomaly that should be investigated. Overall, the security posture is moderate but can be significantly improved by adopting best practices and publishing relevant policies.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and X-Content-Type-Options to harden the website.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and trust.
  5. Consider creating a vulnerability disclosure policy or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built using a modern React-based framework (Next.js) and hosted on Vercel, ensuring fast performance and excellent mobile responsiveness. SEO is well-implemented with comprehensive meta tags, Open Graph data, and JSON-LD structured data. The site uses standard analytics and marketing tools but lacks visible accessibility features beyond basic compliance. No CMS is detected, indicating a custom or static site generation approach. The technical infrastructure is solid with minimal technical debt, but security-related technical improvements are needed to align with best practices.
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.
