NEW YORK, April 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Forensiq, a leader in ad fraud detection and prevention, is proud to announce today that it has received The Trustworthy Accountability Group's (TAG) "Certified Against Piracy" and "Certified Against Fraud" Seals. TAG is an advertising industry initiative to fight criminal activity in the digital advertising supply chain and the Seals are awarded to buyers, sellers and intermediaries who meet rigorous anti-fraud and anti-piracy requirements.

The TAG Certified Against Piracy Seal recognizes companies that have taken effective steps to help advertisers and ad agencies avoid damage to their brands from ad placement on websites and other media properties that facilitate the distribution of pirated content and counterfeit products. The Certified Against Fraud Seal recognizes companies that have completed the review process and are in compliance with rigorous anti-fraud standards.

TAG was created by the American Association of Advertising Agencies (4As), the Association of National Advertisers (ANA), and the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) to address systemic issues in digital advertising like fraud, piracy, malware and lack of transparency.

"This is a significant accomplishment in our ongoing work, research and development in combatting advertising fraud," said David Sendroff, Founder and CEO of Forensiq. "Our goal at Forensiq has always been to create a more pure ecosystem for marketers and being certified by TAG proves our commitment in setting comprehensive anti-fraud standards that raise the bar for our industry."

As a certified TAG Anti Fraud vendor, Forensiq is in compliance with The Media Rating Council (MRC) Invalid Traffic (IVT) Detection and Filtration Guidelines.  Additionally, in order to receive TAG's Certification Against Piracy Seal, Forensiq was validated as a Digital Advertising Assurance Provider (DAAP). The specific set of guidelines requires proven solutions to identify ad risk entities; prevent advertisements or undesired ad risk entities; detect, prevent, or disrupt fraudulent or deceptive transactions; monitor and assessing advertisement placement compliance; elimination of payments to undesired ad risk entities; and internal procedure, dispute resolution and education.

Last year Forensiq was acquired by premier digital marketing suite Impact Radius, and together the company has experienced phenomenal growth through the adoption of its innovative marketing platform which culminated in the company securing $30 Million in growth funding from Silversmith Capital Partners.  Forensiq's TAG recognition comes on the heels of Impact Radius' new office opening on Park Avenue in NYC, solidifying the company's accelerated growth.
