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

Research Results is a specialized U.S.-based market research operations team with over 35 years of experience supporting researchers by managing complex project details such as sampling, programming, data processing, and analytics. Their website reflects a professional service provider targeting market research professionals and agencies, emphasizing reliability and expertise. The technical infrastructure is built on WordPress with Divi theme, leveraging modern web technologies and Google services for analytics and spam protection. Security posture is solid with HTTPS and reCAPTCHA, but lacks advanced security headers and formal security policies. Privacy compliance is weak due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the website is trustworthy and well-established, with a domain age consistent with the business claims.

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

6 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. GDPR outside view

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

    • 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

    • 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. 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 positions itself as a niche market research operations partner, offering end-to-end support for research projects. Their business model focuses on service delivery to agencies and corporate researchers, emphasizing efficiency and quality. The website content and structure suggest a small-sized company with a strong client focus and a long-standing market presence. No evidence of parent or subsidiary companies was found. The company leverages digital marketing tools like Google Tag Manager but lacks visible certifications or formal trust badges. Contact information is clearly provided, enhancing credibility.

Security posture

The website employs HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA to secure user interactions, particularly on the contact form. However, it lacks several recommended security headers such as Content-Security-Policy and X-Frame-Options, which could improve protection against common web attacks. No vulnerability disclosure or incident response information is published, which is a gap in security transparency. The domain registration is stable and consistent with the business history, with no privacy protection that might obscure ownership. Overall, the security posture is moderate but could be improved with additional best practices and transparency.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement standard security headers (CSP, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options) to mitigate common web vulnerabilities.
  3. Publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie policy with GDPR compliance details.
  4. Add a security.txt file or vulnerability disclosure page to improve security transparency and incident response readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update WordPress plugins and themes to minimize vulnerability risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on WordPress using the Divi theme and builder, with jQuery and Google services integrated for analytics and spam prevention. The site is mobile-optimized and uses modern fonts and responsive design. Performance is moderate, with no major issues detected. SEO is enhanced by Yoast SEO plugin and proper meta tags including Open Graph and JSON-LD structured data. The site uses Gravity Forms for contact forms with reCAPTCHA integration. Hosting provider details are not explicit, but domain registrar is eNom, LLC. The technical stack is mature but could benefit from improved security headers and privacy compliance features.
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.
