What is Secure Content Testing (SCT)?

Secure Content Testing (SCT) is Touchstone Research’s proprietary visual and forensic watermarking security technology for protecting content in market research and consumer insights studies. SCT works by applying unique visual and forensic watermarks to content within a quantitative survey or qualitative research study that can be used to tie the content back to an individual participant. This provides an extremely effective technique for deterring respondents from leaking unreleased content, as any compromised content can be used to identify the person who shared it.

The visual watermark can be customized and include personally identifiable information, such as participant name, email address, user ID, and/or IP address. The watermark is burned into the content and cannot be removed. The forensic watermark provides an extra layer of security using an invisible watermark that is burned into the streaming and can be used to identify a participant.
