What is a vane?

A one tap question you place anywhere on your website.

  1. 1
    Place the vane… anywhere

    Engage visitors throughout your web content.

  2. 2
    Visitors tap

    It's intended to be quick, fun and interesting.

  3. 3
    You get the data

    Live in your dashboard: to fix problems early, plan the menu, and publish numbers worth quoting.

Cybersecurity poll questions to steal

Questions people actually answer.

Paste these into the builder or swap in your own services. Every argument in a security team channel belongs on your site as a count.

Engage visitors

Your site talks with customers instead of at them, and they come back to see how everyone voted.

Run a better shop

Real answers on the menu, prices and hours, from the people who pay for them.

Get cited by search and AI

Original numbers only you have, the kind Google and AI answers quote.

Protect your reviews

Hear about a rough visit while you can still fix it, and know what people love.

Data instead of threat theatre

Every security site claims sophistication. A live tally of what practitioners believe about breach causes is original research nobody else has, and it is the sort of thing that gets cited rather than skimmed.

Where should it go on a security company website?

The right format for every part of your site.

The best spots are the services pages, the research blog, the incident response page, the report download page, and the pricing page.

Common questions

What owners ask us.

How do cybersecurity companies market without fear selling?

Publish what practitioners actually believe. A ranked tally showing that weak credentials and unpatched systems outrank exotic attacks makes the case for fundamentals and marks you as the vendor not running threat theatre.

What should a security website have besides service descriptions?

Original data. Every vendor claims expertise, but a live tally of how exposed practitioners feel is a statistic only you own, and it is what analysts and AI answers cite.

Does admitting most breaches are boring lose deals?

It changes which deals you win. Buyers exhausted by threat theatre respond to a vendor who scopes honestly, and those engagements renew.

Is any sensitive information collected?

No. Anonymous single taps with no accounts and no environment details. These are opinion polls, not assessments.
