SurveyGuard

Every decision your clients make starts with data. We make sure that data is real.

The integrity of market research data is not a technical problem. It is a responsibility problem. Between 10 and 30 percent of online survey responses are fraudulent when no real-time protection is in place. That means between 10 and 30 percent of the data informing product launches, medical research, and public policy is fabricated. SurveyGuard exists because that is not acceptable.

Core technology

SurveyGuard sits at the entry point of every survey and reviews each respondent across 15 detection layers in under 200 milliseconds — before a single fraudulent response can enter the dataset.

How it works

Fifteen layers. One decision. At the door.

SurveyGuard is not a post-hoc cleaning tool. Every check happens at the entry point of the survey, in the same request that admits the respondent.

Device & Fingerprint

Hardware, browser, and behavioral fingerprints catch duplicates that swap accounts or clear cookies.

Network & Geolocation

VPN, proxy, datacenter IP, and geo-mismatch detection stops respondents pretending to be where they aren’t.

LLM & Bot Defense

Patterns that betray automated answer generation — including modern LLM completion behavior — are flagged in-line.

Behavioral Analysis

Time-on-task, mouse trajectories, straight-lining, and answer consistency surface non-human or low-attention respondents.

Cross-survey Reputation

Respondents are evaluated against a network-wide reputation graph built across the SurveyGuard ecosystem.

Real-time Decisioning

Pass, challenge, or block — decided and applied at the door, before the response is written to the dataset.

Sub-200ms evaluation, every respondent. No measurable impact on completion experience.

Truth has no business model

Detection that cannot be negotiated.

SoftSight’s fraud detection must never be compromised by commercial considerations. We will not soften detection thresholds to improve completion rates for high-spending customers. We will not sell access to the reputation network in ways that undermine its integrity.

The moment our fraud protection becomes negotiable, it becomes worthless. This is not a policy. It is the definition of what we are.
