who/what is Edison Research? Is their security any good?

This is what I could find.

     Edison Research is located at 6 West Cliff Street and 14 West Cliff Street in Somerville, NJ.  Edison Research was founded in 1994 as a media research company, conducting audience and content analysis for broadcasting entities all over the globe.  In 2003, the company became the sole provider of exit polling data to the television networks comprising the National Election Pool, and has served continuously in that capacity for all U.S. general elections since then, as well as hundreds of important primaries and caucuses and other election events both in America and abroad.  https://www.edisonresearch.com/about-us/   

Larry Rosin is President of Edison Research, which he co-founded in 1994.  Since then he has been a primary force in building the company into one of the world’s most respected survey research companies, with a particular specialization in media and election polling.
