Independent validation of TAG seals increases as market demands third-party verification of compliance

10/03/2021

ABC has independently validated 88 companies for TAG seals in first recertification process since JICWEBS merger.

TAG (Trustworthy Accountability Group) is a global industry initiative to fight criminal activity and protect brand safety in digital advertising, and TAG's Brand Safety Certified (BSC), Certified Against Fraud (CAF), Certified Against Malware, and Certified Against Piracy Programs have been developed to address cross-industry supply chain challenges around those complicated issues.

Extending TAG's standards across other territories has enabled companies to raise trust and transparency across the countries they operate in and find efficiencies through common languages and processes.

Achieving TAG certification with ABC's trusted and independent validation process demonstrates these companies are willing to go the extra mile to fight criminal activity and strengthen brand safety in digital advertising.

Congratulations to our clients for successfully undergoing our audit and achieving TAG certification:
