Online ad fraud: New certification for firms offering anti-fraud products

September 26, 2017

In the attempt to tackle online ad fraud, JICWEBS has launched a certification scheme for firms providing anti-fraud products.

Under the scheme, JICWEBS – the independent body that defines best practice and standards for trusted online ad trading in the UK – will give certification to those firms successfully demonstrating how their products deal with 16 different sources of fraud listed in JICWEBS’ taxonomy of online fraud.

This certification scheme for anti-fraud products complements the scheme already in place for companies within the ad supply chain itself, such as ad tech providers, trading desks, ad networks  and media owners. The number of these companies certified against fraud currently stands at eight with a further eight undergoing the verification process (see list).

JICWEBS’ chairman Richard Foan noted that this certification scheme took longer to come to fruition because some companies expressed concern about sharing confidential and competitive information around how their products worked. “Consequently we worked with the companies to build a scheme that worked for them and the JICWEBS stakeholders.”

Keith Moor, Santander’s chief marketing officer, said: “Advertisers’ need to have greater trust in digital media is well served by this important initiative from JICWEBS and it’s one that we fully support. As a member of JICWEBS’ UK Cross-Industry Anti-Fraud Commercial Working Group, Santander has been working with other advertisers and our digital media partners to reduce the risk of exposure to ad fraud. We look forward to investing our digital marketing spend with trusted, certified companies.”


Bethan Crockett, brand safety and digital risk director at GroupM EMEA, said: “GroupM UK welcomes increasing participation in JICWEBS’ anti-fraud certification programme. It is critical for our clients to know proactive steps are being taken to protect digital supply chain integrity.”
